HARVEST

a Landmand Fundraiser for Youth on Course in Nebraska

 

Although there will be a competitive element to the event, it's meant to be an enjoyable fall day of golf at Landmand Golf Club in support of Youth on Course. Participants will receive a tee gift (Landmand Headcover), lunch prior to golf, complimentary beverages and a post round reception including food and drink. The golf format is a Shamble where all golfers tee off, the best drive is selected and team members play their own ball into the hole from there. For scoring purposes, the best two net scores will be counted on each hole. Teams will be divided into two flights with prizes awarded to the top team in each flight. If desired, participants can play more golf following the event round. Optional on-course games will be available. There's also an option available to teams for Thursday arrival, golf and on-site stay in one of the club's cabins. See details below.

 

Date: Friday, October 3, 2025

 

Entry Fee: $1,600 (group of four) - All inclusive food & beverage (includes pre-round lunch, post-round reception and complimentary beverages); individual gift (Landmand Headcover); 18-hole Shamble; additional golf available following event round. 

 

Field Size: Limited to 20 foursomes (80 players). Participants must have an active Handicap Index (GHIN).

 

Format: Shamble. In a shamble format, members of the team each hit a tee shot and select the best one. From there, each player plays their own ball. The lowest two net scores will be the team's score for the hole. Each player's Playing Handicap will be 65% of their Course Handicap.

 

Flights: Teams will be divided into two flights. The winner of each flight will receive individual prizes. Any tie for first place will be determined by a scorecard play-off.

Charity: The core purpose of Youth on Course is to provide youth with access to life-changing opportunities through golf. Youth on Course is based on the following formula. The Nebraska Golf Foundation (NGF) negotiates a preferred Youth on Course junior golf rate with participating facilities in Nebraska. Youth on Course members can then play golf at these facilities (along with other Youth on Course courses nationwide) for $5 or less. The NGF is responsible for subsidizing the difference between the negotiated rate and the member payment, which is in excess of $100,000 each year. We're proud to create access and make the game affordable for over 6,000 Youth on Course members in our state.


 

The Course: Landmand (https://www.landmandgc.com/) was recognized by Golf Digest as the "Top New Public Course" in 2022 and in 2025 was named #18 on Golfweek's List of U.S. Public Access Courses and #42 on their list of U.S. Modern Golf Courses (built in or after 1960). In 2025, they sold out their allotment of tee times in under one hour. Situated in northeast Nebraska, Landmand sits on a vast, elevated section of loess formations with eroded furrows and valleys. It winds across the bluffs and between valleys, and from the tops of the ridges, horizon views of 20 miles or more are possible. Architects, Rob Collins and Tad King, known for creating the cult nine-hole Sweetens Cove outside Chattanooga, were able to make the golf look like it fit against the endless backdrops constructing fairways 80 to 100 yards wide and greens that are, cumulatively and in some cases individually, the largest in the United States. Landmand is King-Collins first 18-hole design.
