Golf in Cairo

Cairo is a small Hall County community in the central Platte River valley, positioned between Grand Island and Kearney in Nebraska's most heavily irrigated agricultural corridor. The area's intense center-pivot irrigation has transformed the surrounding landscape into some of the most productive farmland in the nation, with corn and soybeans dominating where dryland crops once struggled. Centura Hills Golf Club takes its name from the Centura school district that serves this part of the valley and provides recreational golf in an area where the farm economy runs at full scale. The land around Cairo is among the most intensively irrigated farmland in North America, transformed in the twentieth century by water drawn from the Platte River and the Ogallala Aquifer. Centura Hills Golf Club occupies a position in this productive agricultural heart, serving the farmers and agribusiness professionals who have built their lives along the central Platte.
