Golf in Loup City

Loup City in Sherman County is a small county seat along the South Loup River in central Nebraska, a community of roughly 900 that functions as the services center for an agricultural county defined by the river valley's farming and ranching economy. The Loup River's headwaters in the Sandhills give this part of Nebraska a spring-fed water quality that distinguishes it from the more heavily developed river systems to the south. Loup City's nine-hole course keeps recreational golf available at the most fundamental community scale. The South Loup River's spring-fed character gives Loup City a natural asset that sustains both agricultural irrigation and the aesthetic quality of the surrounding landscape. The course serves a genuinely small county seat — one of the smaller in Nebraska — with the determination that small towns bring to institutions they consider worth preserving.
