Golf in Gordon

Gordon in Sheridan County serves as a commercial hub in the Nebraska Sandhills, positioned along Highway 20 midway between Alliance and Valentine. The surrounding Sandhills landscape is among the most ecologically intact grassland regions in North America, supporting both a traditional ranch economy and the growing destination golf market centered on courses like Sand Hills and Dismal River to the south and east. Gordon Country Club GC and Park combines golf with park amenities suited to a community serving a widely dispersed rural population across an enormous county. Gordon's position along Highway 20 — historically called the Cowboy Trail and now partly a rails-to-trails recreation path — places it in the heart of Nebraska's ranching heartland. The surrounding Sandhills ecosystem's ecological integrity is maintained in part by the low-impact cattle operations that define Sheridan County's land use.
