Birdies are waiting, but Table
Creek won’t give them away

The folks at Table Creek understand this Nebraska City course isn’t the longest or isn’t heavily guarded by tall trees.

But the hills the course sits upon make up for that.

On the front nine alone, six holes demand attention to the wind, which will push and pull your shots in all directions.

Table Creek’s fairways feature similar characteristics as a links course with its rough weaving in and out of landing areas and its slippery slopes.

With competition getting more fierce in Nebraska City, you’ll like the price you get for playing a clean, well kept course at Table Creek.

A closer look
As with the case of a lot of the fairways at Table Creek, the fairway can be narrow and unsettling, but the rough generally allows for decent approach shots.

There are some ridiculously short par 4s that partly make up for No. 1, but they won’t allow for easy birdies.

No. 3 tops out near 299 yards uphill with a bunker sitting to the right of the green.

No. 6 measures 234 yards, but features a bunker directly in front of the green and large mounds surrounding the green.

One of the best holes on the front nine is the par five seventh, rated the hardest hole on the course. Water runs along the right side of the fairway, but doesn’t really come into play until the second and third shots. The second shot must be played toward the left half of the fairway, because the trees lining the water hazard allow for only a small window on your approach shot.

No. 11 is a scenic par three with a bunker short of the green and heavy trees behind it. It’s always unique to stand on a tee box see where all your trouble is on a given hole. No. 11 and the par-five No. 18 do just that.

The latter tee box reveals a dogleg right on the first shot, then a slight dogleg left on the approach. Out of bounds is all over the left side, but assuming the tee shot is hit decently, it shouldn’t influence the hole.
