Sand Hills Golf Club

Because of Nebraska's unique topography, course architects Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw moved only of earth when designing the course. During two years of surveying the land, Coore and Crenshaw found over 130 "natural golf holes" on the property—defined as locations that had well-defined areas that could easily be converted into teeing areas, fairways, hazards, and greens. They spent much of that time narrowing the list of possible holes to 18 and determining an ideal course routing. At one point during the design phase, when Coore and Crenshaw were making little headway on a routing, Crenshaw stepped over a boundary fence and found a parcel of land that he saw as ideal, reporting back to Coore that he should see this particular parcel. Soon thereafter, Youngscap arranged a land swap with the owner of the adjacent parcel, which today contains the 12th through 15th holes. the club reportedly has fewer than 200 members from across the country, Youngscap's influence on Mike Keiser's development of Bandon Dunes Golf Resort is well documented. ==Course details==
