FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LINCOLN, NEB. (DEC. 1, 2011) — The holiday season is the perfect time to give family and friends the gift of Nebraska golf. As colder temperatures settle in, golfers in the Midwest turn their thoughts to planning spring and summer golf trips, and Nebraska is being touted as one of the best destinations for exceptional golf and exceptional value.

In a recent article in Midwest Golfing Magazine, publisher Jay Royle summed up his trip to the state this way: “…Nebraska is quickly becoming a top-notch golf destination. Actually it already is; it just doesn’t get the recognition the Cornhusker State so richly deserves. I know I’m telling everyone to get to Nebraska and play some golf!”

Nebraska is home to well-known nationally ranked courses, such as The Prairie Club and Wild Horse Golf Club, and plenty of outstanding and affordable public and semiprivate courses are worth considering when planning a Nebraska golf trip. Several courses have joined together to offer special packages, including Play the West, Golf the North and the Nebraska Golf Trail. Individual lodging and golf packages are also available at some courses.

 
The Nebraska Department of Economic Development’s Travel and Tourism Division has made it easy for golfers planning a Nebraska golf getaway. A list of golf courses in Nebraska, sample trip itineraries, and links to articles and videos about Nebraska golf are available at VisitNebraska.gov/golf. Reviews of several Nebraska golf courses, including photos and videos, can be found at GolfNebraskaBlog.com. And the GolfNebraska Facebook page is a place to connect with golfers and share links to news about golf courses and events in Nebraska.
