Golf in Gothenburg

Gothenburg in Dawson County sits along the Platte River and I-80, a community of roughly 3,600 that maintains one of the most intact Pony Express stations in existence. The station — moved to Gothenburg's town square — represents the brief but legendary 18-month history of the Pony Express that connected California with the east before the transcontinental telegraph rendered it obsolete in 1861. Wild Horse Golf Club serves a community with a strong historical identity and a position along one of Nebraska's most traveled corridors. The Pony Express Rider statue and the preserved station give Gothenburg a historical identity rooted in the brief but legendary overland mail service of the early 1860s. Wild Horse Golf Club provides a recreational complement to a community that has invested in its historical assets as a visitor draw along the I-80 corridor.
