The Dismal River Club features an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Course that rolls through the natural terrain of Nebraska's Sandhills. Located in the north-central region of the state, the celebrated Dismal River Club is the Golden Bear's first course in Nebraska. Recently ranked among Golfweek's BEST NEW COURSES list in 2007, this private golf club offers the purest form of links-style golf that truly reflects Nicklaus' philosophy of creating courses that blend with the native elements of their surroundings. Dismal River also features elevated tees that provide panoramic views of the Dismal River Valley, once home to thousands of roaming bison. The course's rustic charm is defined by its windswept bunkers, natural contours and ruggedly beautiful terrain.

The private golf club's extraordinary setting in Nebraska and natural beauty distinguish it from many of America's modern courses. Its unique characteristics, combined with the unparalleled service and playing conditions offer an unforgettable experience for members and their guests. Dismal River Club also boasts an expansive clubhouse constructed of warm-colored woods. Its high ceilings present spacious areas for its golf shop, poker and pool rooms, theater, saloon and horseshoe pits. Upscale dining can also be enjoyed at the clubhouse with a menu featuring fine steaks, fresh seafood and wild game. Accommodations include luxurious cabins reminiscent of the lodges built by pioneers who once inhabited the valley, but include amenities such as down pillows, king-sized beds, large-screen plasma TVs, high-speed Wi-Fi and mini-bars.
