More than a month ahead of its planned opening for 2023, the new Landmand golf course has completely sold out its public tee times for its first full season. Only members can now get a time to play Landmand, designed by the architectural team of King-Collins, and voted 2022’s Best New Public Course by Golf Digest.
Landmand’s opened up its 2023 tee sheet on December 31, and more than 80 per cent of times were sold in the first day. The last ten times for the year went on April 10.

“This is a fantastic affirmation for our golf course,” says developer Will Andersen, whose family has owned the land on which the course sits for many years. “Since we opened last summer, the feedback from players has been brilliant, but there is no corroboration as strong as people choosing to buy your tee times. We can’t wait for the season to start and for more people to come here and see what we have to offer.”
Landmand opens for the 2023 season on May 15.
About Landmand
Pronounced ‘Landman’, ‘Landmand’ is the Danish word for a farmer. The eighteen year old Karl Andersen came to the US from Denmark in the early 1920s, and settled in eastern Nebraska. Over four generations, the Andersen family has become a major farming operation in the area. The family developed the Old Dane golf course in 2012, and Landmand will be its second such operation. Despite this move into the golf business, farming will remain the backbone of the Andersen operation. The family is wholly committed to the area and community of eastern Nebraska, and hopes this new endeavour will bring it to new heights.
King-Collins Golf Course Design was founded in 2010 with the vision of creating bold, timeless, strategic, and artistically inspired golf courses at a below market price. Sweetens Cove GC in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, the firm’s first project, is ranked 63 on Golfweek magazine’s list of the best modern courses in America. The firm is working on projects across the United States; Landmand its its first eighteen hole course to open.
