Golf trips aren't just about the courses—they're about the journey, the unexpected discoveries, and the stories you'll tell forever. Our recent expedition through America's heartland delivered all this and more as we ventured through South Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa to play some of the most talked-about new courses in golf.

The adventure took us from Dakota Dunes, where we attempted (and failed) to drive balls across the Missouri River, to the nearly mythical Landman Golf Club—perhaps the hardest public tee time to secure in America. Navigating dirt roads through endless cornfields, we discovered a golf course that encourages creativity above all else, where the infamous "Landman Bounce" had us aiming at seemingly absurd targets to let the land work its magic. We invented "Farm," a putting game that might become your new favorite way to spend time on the practice green with friends.

Our journey continued to Tatanka on Native American land (complete with "ditch weed" growing throughout the property) and culminated at The Prairie Club, where the Pines and Dunes courses sparked heated debates about which deserved the higher ranking. Throughout it all, we encountered small-town America at its most authentic—from gas station treasures to our first taste of Runzas, the regional delicacy that had us stopping multiple times for more. With nearly 1,000 miles logged in five days and eight rounds played, this trip reminded us why golf travel creates memories that last a lifetime.

What's your dream golf destination? Have you explored America's heartland courses? We'd love to hear about your own discoveries and adventures as we continue our endless pursuit of golf's hidden treasures.
