Landmand sells out 2024 in a morning

Landmand Golf Club in Nebraska put all the tee times for 2024, its second full season, on sale via its website at 8am Central time on New Year’s Eve. Two hours and forty minutes later, all 11,000 tee times had been booked.

“It was an amazing day,” says general manager Adam Fletcher. “For 2023, we sold out in approximately two and a half months; this year it was more like two and a half hours. May sold out in 29 minutes, with August not far behind. We had five ‘lone wolves’ that closed out the summer’s tee sheet at 10.40am.”

Course owner Will Andersen says: “I was in Minnesota, so I watched the madness from afar. It’s a fantastic testimony to the quality of the course, and the service offered by our team. But even knowing how great the course and the team both are, I was still amazed!”

Fletcher adds: “We know there is hype over a new venue, and that we are becoming a popular destination, but it never occurred to any of us that it would get so crazy. We couldn’t be happier and are looking forward to the summer all the more. We understand that not everyone who wanted a tee time was able to book one, so we hope they will be able to snag any future cancellations.”

Unlucky golfers who missed out should keep an eye on Landmand’s Instagram page, @landmandgc, where any cancellations will be posted.

About Landmand Golf Club

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.
