Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to plan a golf trip to Dawes County?

We've found late spring through early fall offers the most reliable weather for golf here. You'll enjoy comfortably warm days and avoid the unpredictable winds that can sweep across the prairie in other seasons, plus the courses are in prime condition without the peak-season crowds.

What kind of golf experience can I expect from Dawes County's two courses?

You're in for a genuine, unpretentious golf experience that truly celebrates the game. One course offers a well-maintained, classic parkland layout that's a joy to walk, while the other is a charming, shorter track with some surprisingly tricky greens, both providing excellent value and a relaxed pace of play.

What's there to do in Dawes County when I'm not on the course?

Dawes County is all about wide-open spaces and local charm, so we recommend exploring Chadron State Park for hiking or fishing, or simply enjoying the quiet beauty of the Nebraska Sandhills. Don't miss grabbing a meal at one of the local diners-the hospitality is as warm as the coffee.

Is Dawes County a budget-friendly golf destination, and what are typical green fees?

Absolutely, Dawes County is a fantastic value compared to bigger golf hubs. You can expect green fees to be very reasonable, typically ranging from $30-50 for 18 holes, making it easy to play both courses multiple times without breaking the bank.

How challenging is it to get to Dawes County for a golf getaway?

Getting here requires a bit of a drive, but that's part of its appeal-it keeps the crowds away. You'll likely fly into a regional airport like Rapid City (RAP) or Scottsbluff (BFF) and then enjoy a scenic drive through the plains, so a rental car is essential for exploring the area.
