Three Days at ArborLinks
Big skies mean more time for golf at this prairie gem
ArborLinks | Nebraska City, Nebraska
For those who feel like they’ve seen it all, we invite you to go off the beaten path to ArborLinks. Located near the Iowa state line, the #5 Best Course in Nebraska (Golfweek, 2022) is just an hour’s drive from Omaha or Lincoln and easily accessible from Kansas City and Des Moines as well. The first acquired of Dormie Network’s clubs is an unparalleled pure golf retreat surrounded by tranquil landscapes and some of the biggest sky you’ve ever seen.
Here's how to make the most of your trip, for any size or type of group.

Your Buddy Trip at ArborLinks
Imagine an unforgettable getaway with your crew at a golf course designed by the legendary Arnold Palmer, where friendly competition and laughter echo under the Nebraska sky. From state-of-the-art golfing facilities to comfortable accommodations and gourmet dining, we ensure your buddy trip is packed with golf, relaxation, and camaraderie.
Following dinner, we recommend a stroll down the conservation trail or a round of Apple Cider Mules around the clubhouse firepit while you settle the score on the chipping green. Another great option: the casual lower-level lounge, with your choice of pool table, ping pong, poker, or dice.
Your Business Trip at ArborLinks
No one does off-the-grid quite like ArborLinks. Centrally located a million miles from ordinary, this Nebraska golf destination seamlessly blends business with leisure. Comfortable accommodations, world-class dining facilities, and PGA professionals' personalized coaching sessions are designed to foster collaborative growth while offering an invigorating break from routine business environments. Your team is bound to leave with enhanced bonds and renewed vigor for future projects.
The spacious boardroom seats up to 12 and has one of the best views in the clubhouse, overlooking the 18th green and South Table Creek. Other meeting spaces include the lavish wine room, board tables at each Executive Cottage, and the 8-plex and 12-plex also feature private work spaces in each master suite.
Entertaining Groups of Any Size at ArborLinks
ArborLinks can accommodate groups of any size, ensuring each event is memorable. With a meticulously maintained course, variety of indoor and outdoor spaces to gather and relax, and staff on hand to customize your entire experience (ask about cottage welcome gifts!), we handle everything from tee times to the post-event dinner, allowing you to focus on your guests and enjoy the experience yourself.
The golf professional team can also create a custom tournament or organize chipping or long-drive contests. For large groups, we recommend the Northwoods complex: the newest selection of cottages includes one massive two-level Owner’s Cottage, a 12-plex, and an 8-plex. Private firepits at these special cottages are just the beginning—each has it's own private chipping tee to a common green, with access to an event area to round out your next group trip.
