| Holmes Park Golf Course -- Good Golf Test |
| Review by: Derek Baker |
Holmes is one of my favorites in Lincoln, NE. It starts out with a long dogleg-right par 5 that can be reached in 2 by the long hitters. The 4th hole is a driveable par 4 that ends on a small oval green which is inviting to long shots but treacherous if missed long. The hardest hole on the front 9 is the 190+ par 3 9th hole which plays at least 30 yds. farther because it is uphill. A 3 iron or fairway wood is necessary to get the ball up the steep hill.
The back nine offers more great golf. Several of the holes offer players more than one way to get home( long hitters may opt to go over the low trees on the right on #13 for a shorter 2nd shot to the green). Short hitters will enjoy the par 3 14th which plays around 145 yards to a massive green with slight undulations.
This course will not be the most difficult that you play in Lincoln. However, the course conditions are great, the pace is relaxed, and the views of the local Holmes Lake/Park area are serene. Play at least 1 round at Holmes Park Golf Course and you won't be disappointed. |
