About Grandpa’s Woods

A recreation oasis that offers solitude, strengthens family ties, and preserves a little bit of nature as it was meant to be.

Golf, out where it's quiet.

Tucked away in the Nebraska countryside between Omaha and Lincoln, Grandpa’s Woods is a place where golf feels a little different.

The pace is slower. The air is fresher. The gravel crunches beneath the golf cart tires. Wildlife wanders through the trees. And for a few hours, the noise of everyday life fades into the background.

Since 1956, Grandpa’s Woods has welcomed golfers of all ages and skill levels with a simple philosophy:

Golf should be fun.

Whether you're chasing birdies, introducing your kids to the game, sharpening your short game, or just enjoying a few hours outdoors, Grandpa’s Woods offers a relaxed atmosphere that keeps players coming back year after year.

What makes Grandpa’s Woods special isn't just the golf. It's the people. Families introducing a new generation to the game. Longtime members who know every break in every green.

It's the conversations on the clubhouse deck after a round. And the sense of community that's been part of this property for decades.

We're proud to provide a welcoming place where everyone can enjoy the game, spend time outdoors, and create lasting memories.

A Place Worth Preserving.

While the course continues to improve and evolve, our goal remains the same: Preserve the character, history, and atmosphere that have made Grandpa’s Woods a special place for generations.

Out here, golf is still simple. And we think that's a good thing.
