Beautiful Course. Great Conditions!

What a beautiful golf course. Some of the prettiest landscape in Nebraska. One of my favorite places I have played. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in great shape. Will definitely play it again.

Exceeded Expectations

Tatanka had been on my list to play for several years based on all of the great things I had read about iit. This course exceeded those lofty expectations.

Paul Albanese found too many stunning holes to name amongst this wild property. The greens wild and a blast to chip and putt on.

Must play on any Nebraska golf trip.

Under the Radar

Nebraska golf, especially in the Sand Hills gets a lot of press, and rightfully so. However, there is really great land for golf courses in northeast Nebraska. One such under the radar layout is to Tatanka Golf Club near Niobrara.

Tatanka is a wild layout draped over the hills just south of the Missouri River. The course architect made use of the rolling terrain to create a really fun layout that will challenge the best players while remaining playable for all skill levels.

The Greens at Tatanka are the star. They are some of the best greens I've putted in the region. The greens present a significant challenge due to undulation and speed.

I highly recommend anyone who is a fan of cool golf courses to check out Tatanka in northeast NE. Once Landmand opens, Tatanka could be a nice course to pair on a golf trip.

Great course

I've been hearing about this course for the last 3 years so my expectations were very high. I had just played the Sandhills Golf Club in Mullen NE which is an exclusive top notch golf experience. To my surprise I was not let down even coming from the Sandhills. The course was in excellent shape including greens, fairways, bunkers etc. My preference would be for slightly quicker greens but that is just my preference. Justin in the pro shop was very friendly and accommodating especially helping out on re-round pricing. Forget about the tips unless you are PGA material at 7500 yards and LOTS of elevation changes I can't imagine and I'm a 9 HCP. Recommend playing the course more than once you'll appreciate it more each time and learn how to manage the course better. The casino next door has excellent clean rooms and a really low rate. The food at the casino is meh at best and the service there was lacking to say the least. But this is a GOLF course review and it is now one of my favorites and I've played a lot of courses. Thanks for a great time we'll be back! Oh, the pace of play is as fast as you want we hardly so a sole on a Friday (we played 54) or Saturday morning. Don't expect a cart "person" or excellent food at the turn...just plan on great golf.

Amazing course tucked into the northeast corner of Nebraska

Our friends told us about this course over in Niobrara, NE, so we decided to check it out. Wow! What a nice surprise! Beautiful vistas, rolling hills, lush fairways, carpet greens - we loved it! We also took two traveling golf pros with us who were in town for a pro-am tournament and they loved it too. They both said it made their all Top 10 list of best golf courses they’ve ever played - and they’ve played ALOT of different courses! Even though the rate is a bit high, it is well worth it! You’d pay over $100/round for a course like this in a Texas or California. Give it a try - you’ll love it!

Tatanka - dont waste your money

They were punching the greens while we played. About half the greens were closed. No discount. Pro shop person was defensive. Hotel bar closed on Monday night. Food was poor at best. Service was very slow. No hotel food for breakfast.

Tough but fair.

Great course. We played 6700 tees. It's all you want but fair. The par 3's were the hardest holes. You better have a 215yd club or your not getting there. Greens were not in good condition. Grass was growing inside the holes edges. They were bumpy and slow. Very sandy. Fairways were nice. Tip, pay attention to the direction of the wind. It blows up there. Play was a little slow on Saturday, didn't see a soul on Sunday. What I liked was that every hole different yet had 3 things in common. Big fairways, tough bunkers, and ball-eating long grass . Had a great time with some friends and walking off the last hole on Sunday, I said to them,Now that is a golf experience.

Unique golf round in so many ways

Grateful to have played this course for just the 1st time. Planning on playing it again and again for many years. Unique views, challenging holes, and if the wind is blowing like it was, will test your ability to using the correct golf club. The food was fabulous. The staff inside the pro shop were 1st rate as well as the food and beverage staff. A must play, chose your tee boxes wisely for a very rewarding experience.

BEST IN NEBRASKA ......PERHAPS...

Saw this course on the cover of Golf Week in the Winter and knew I had to go. The only thing that makes me mad is that I waited this long. It is awesome...

You must check it out this place is top shelf. In the absolute middle of no where. I would recommend stay the night it has a hotel and casino connected.

NO matter what you do if your an AVID player this is a Must play in Nebraska.

Beautiful course

Beautiful, but very challenging course. Look for the buffalo grazing on the side hills! Lots of prairie grass roughshod. Bring a lot of golf balls unless you are really good at hitting your target.
