Golf in Hooper

Hooper in Dodge County sits along the Elkhorn River in the agricultural heart of eastern Nebraska, a small community serving the grain farming and livestock operations of the Elkhorn Valley. The Elkhorn River's natural character — its meandering channel, tree-lined banks, and periodic flood cycles — distinguishes this part of Dodge County from the more exposed terrain to the south and west. Elkhorn Valley Golf Course takes its name from the river and occupies the valley's characteristic blend of bottomland trees and open farming ground. Hooper's position in the Elkhorn River valley keeps it connected to one of eastern Nebraska's most distinctive natural corridors. The river's character — its meandering channel, periodic flooding, and abundant tree cover — gives the surrounding golf course a playing environment that benefits from the natural framing the Elkhorn provides.
