Golf in Superior

Superior in Nuckolls County sits at the very southern edge of Nebraska along the Kansas border, a county seat of roughly 1,800 that maintains its services despite the steady population decline that has affected most of southern Nebraska's agricultural communities. The Republican River watershed nearby supports dryland farming and cattle operations in terrain that shows Kansas character as much as Nebraska. Superior Country Club provides nine-hole recreational golf for a community that refuses to surrender its basic civic institutions. The Republican River valley near Superior has been at the center of Nebraska-Kansas water disputes that have shaped agricultural policy across the southern plains.
