Golf in Lakeview

Lakeview is a small community in Madison County positioned along the Elkhorn River corridor northeast of Columbus, in the agricultural heartland of northeastern Nebraska. Two golf courses — Country Shadows and Elks Country Club — serve the area, providing a combined recreational golf presence for golfers who live and work along this stretch of the Elkhorn Valley. The surrounding landscape is defined by corn and soybean farming, with the river corridor providing the natural variety that distinguishes this part of the plains from more exposed terrain. Madison County's agricultural economy supports the Lakeview area's two golf courses alongside the larger Norfolk metro market to the north. The Elkhorn River corridor here provides a natural setting that distinguishes Lakeview's courses from the more exposed terrain of the surrounding farming country.
