Golf in Holdrege

Holdrege is the Phelps County seat and a city of roughly 5,600 in south-central Nebraska's Platte River irrigation district. The county was transformed in the twentieth century by the construction of irrigation infrastructure that brought water from the Republican River to fields that had previously depended on unreliable rainfall. This agricultural transformation made Phelps County one of Nebraska's most productive counties, and Holdrege has benefited from that agricultural wealth. Holdrege Country Club serves the professional and business community of a self-sufficient regional hub. Phelps County's transformation through irrigation has made Holdrege's agricultural base more resilient than dryland farming communities in the region. Holdrege Country Club serves the business and professional community of a county seat that has maintained services — and a proper member golf club — through the economic cycles that have tested rural Nebraska's institutions.
