You’ll need to head for the prairies of Nebraska to play one of the best value courses in the US. The course at Wild Horse Golf Club was designed by Dave Axland & Dan Proctor – who have a track record of designing quality golf courses that are great value to play – and it opened for play in 1999. Axland & Proctor worked for Ben Crenshaw’s design company for more than ten years and their first solo project at Delaware Springs is one of Texas’s best kept secrets.  

The inclusion of Wild Horse in our rankings will no doubt raise a few eyebrows but we are always thrilled to include great and accessible courses on this website. Excellent pay-and-play golf courses are few and far between, but Wild Horse fits squarely into this bracket. With wonderfully natural “blow-out” bunkers and tall native grasses waving in the prairie winds, Wild Horse is one of the most challenging and natural municipal courses you could desire.
