Overview
Meadowlark Hills was built in 1993 and is operated by the City of Kearney. The course is a Championship 18-Hole layout that plays to a par 71 for men and a par 72 for women. Our new chipping green and bunker practice area were developed in 2022-23. Be sure to come out and utilize them for no charge.
This beautiful course is laid out on the bluffs of the Platte River valley. The majestic view from the clubhouse is spectacular. On the course, water challenges you on several holes and the numerous sand bunkers are strategically placed to keep your ball from venturing too far from your target.
