Inside Nebraska’s Golf Boom: Courses, Junior Programs, and Must-Play Spots w/ BRETT RENNER
The Hole Story - Golf PodcastAbout this episode
This week, Robby and Jonathan are joined by Brett Renner from the Nebraska PGA Section for a deep dive into the surprisingly vibrant world of Nebraska golf. You might think “flat and cold” when you hear Nebraska, but Brett’s here to set the record straight—Nebraska is packed with hidden gems, offering everything from rugged sandhills retreats to challenging links-style public tracks like Landmand and Indian Creek. Brett shares his unconventional journey from broadcasting hopeful to full-time promoter of Nebraska golf, giving us a peek behind the scenes at how the game is exploding across the state—yes, even with that short Midwestern season. The trio swaps travel stories, discusses must-play courses for your Nebraska itinerary, and lets you in on why places like Prairie Club and Sand Hills continue to top bucket lists (even if they take a five-hour drive to reach). You’ll hear about Brett’s most memorable golf shots (and, okay, some not-so-glorious moments), the unique camaraderie and growth happening in Nebraska’s junior golf scene, and why golf here is so much more than a game—it’s about people, community, and unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re chasing albatrosses or just love great golf stories, you won’t want to miss this one. Grab your clubs—and maybe a breakfast sandwich—because you just might end up booking a trip to Nebraska after this episode! https://nebraskapga.com/ https://www.instagram.com/nebgolf/ BestBall Links: • https://BestBall.com • https://linktr.ee/BestBall • https://bestball.substack.com - Subscribe to Par 3 Thursdays!
