Marleen Muenster saw the vision for Lost Rail and trusted us with her beautiful property. We wouldn’t be where we are without her.
She died last week at age 75. This is a small tribute to her character and spirit.

The 3-year adventure is nearly complete. Here's a sneak peek at Lost Rail.

What a thrill to open the golf course at Lost Rail. Grateful to everyone who made it happen. It was an amazing, fulfilling and memorable first week.
A dream come true.

The sand has arrived. If rollicking bent grass fairways are the ice cream of Lost Rail, these sensational bunkers are the fudge. Holes suddenly look complete.

The vision was pretty simple: Bring a destination experience to the edge of a city we love — Omaha. Then sprinkle in the character and charm of a throwback golf club.
A preview of the finished product.

She’s spinning again.
A look from No. 4 tee, where the 1928 windmill — which originally towered over a farmhouse here — has finally been restored.
It’s the finishing touch on a great, long par 4.

Newly seeded and sodded, the short course is scheduled to open in October.
Seven holes range from 60-120 yards, including four wild and often diabolical double greens.
That’s fescue beneath the straw. No sand, but numerous jagged edges and nasty falloffs. Joyful misery.

Triple-digit heat waves.

The final 3 holes at LR loop around the back of the clubhouse, breaking all stereotypes of a flat, boring Nebraska. Here, the terrain changes and long views make for a series of thrilling shots.

No. 18 at Lost Rail, a par 5 up the valley, presents a great opportunity for a finishing birdie beneath the clubhouse.

We are so excited by our new TeeArt in the LR golf shop, created by Kaitlyn Hanna (
@sportsgirlkait
). That’s 2,267 tees if you’re scoring at home.
The Westside grad & Hawkeye recruit first walked this property (and hit balls on 16 tee) way back in May 2020.
What a talent.

Lots of things to look forward to at Lost Rail in 2023. But the 7-hole short course ranks pretty high. It’s growing in nicely this fall.

New flyover… starting in 15 fairway, moving toward the clubhouse, then across the putting green and down the par-5 1st. The views from this ridge — in all directions — are striking.

Introducing the Lost Rail short course.
Seven holes, all 50-110 yards. Grab a wedge, a putter and a drink — and go.

No. 9, the short par 4, feels like 1,000 miles from the city.
Execute the layup off the tee and you’ll have wedge into one of LR’s best and wildest greens. Lots of birdies here. Lots of doubles, too.

A little journey from the 2nd green to the 3rd.
Among the nerve-wracking obstacles: a ragged ravine, a menacing bunker complex and a nasty false front.
No. 3 is one demanding par 4.

The first almost-full round at Lost Rail. Winter rules, so bump the ball out of deer tracks. No cups, so everything within 15’ of general target was a gimme.
Course record claimed…but under review.

We’re still shaking off the gold and brown from winter. But the putting surfaces? They’re mighty green.

No. 1 tee.
Par 5. Downwind. Downhill. A fairway 70 yards wide. Breakfast ball in your pocket (just before noon).
Swing away.

No. 9 at Lost Rail. The first of two consecutive short par 4s demands two precise shots over a ragged ravine. Plenty of birdies. And lots of “others.”

Wrapping up a crazy, fun year at Lost Rail. The final 12 days of 2021 call for a holiday photo thread.
Through New Year’s, we’ll post some of our favorites from construction.

New drone video for a rainy day. The par-4 2nd (430 back tee) drops into the trees. A huge fairway slope propels drives left and down the hill, leaving a short iron across the ravine. Left side of the green is pretty forgiving. It'll take more nerve to attack the right plateau.

A first look at the final plan for Lost Rail.
Over the past year, architect Scott Hoffman has tweaked and polished this layout, maximizing the best site features, enhancing its variety & creating a bold, unique course.
Here’s the culmination. We think you’re going to love it.

No. 2 tees. Thankfully that fairway is a lot wider than it looks.

The par-4 15th. This dogleg right (465 tips) back to the clubhouse rewards boldness. A good drive challenges the bunkers & cuts off significant length. From there, a nasty greenside bunker grabs your attention, but a miss left leaves a delicate downhill chip. Tough hole.

The view from 9 fairway. Hard to believe this is west Omaha.
The approach will be a wedge for almost everyone, but hit it well.

Scott Hoffman’s Lost Rail is the “golf story of the year,” writes

“The kid drawing golf holes during Sunday service at Lutheran Church of the Master never would have believed this.”

Sunset at Lost Rail is still the leader in the clubhouse. But dewy early mornings are pushing up the leaderboard.

17 fairway is filling in nicely.
This long iron/hybrid approach will be one of LR’s toughest tests. Appropriate considering 18 is a par 5.
What’s your line? Aim for the flag or bail right? Split the difference and feed a draw off the slope? A par 4 here may feel like birdie.

The par-3 5th, with bunkers complete. Photo is taken from the top of railbed, just a few steps from a 40-foot vertical edge. No. 5 is no place for the timid.

Mother Nature’s sprinkler system worked well this morning.
The lightning strikes on the other hand…not as good. We found tree bark 70 yards away.

Some might call it foolish, we think it’s just good sense. The Lost Rail 1-shotters turned out so well that we’ve made the bold decision to convert the entire project into a 36-hole par-3 course. Still opening this summer, don’t worry, we just need to build some more greens.

Taken from the clubhouse today: 18 green in the bowl (playing from the right of the photo) with 16 green on the knoll behind (playing from the left).
There won’t be anything quite like it.

The 6th at Lost Rail, taken from the outside of the dogleg left.
This long par 4 (485 Off The Rails) to a huge green might be the toughest hole on the course, especially into the prevailing south wind.

For months, this course map has hung in the LR construction trailer.
Every time we grassed a hole, project supt Lucas Schroder grabbed a green Sharpie & marked it off. Because of big rains, we had to grass some holes 2 or 3 times.
Here’s the map today. Seeded. Sodded. Done.

Construction has begun on the first cabin at Lost Rail. Overlooking the river valley, the short course and the par-3 16th, views from here will match anything on the property. Bonus: it’s next door to the clubhouse.

“I do have a personal goal,” LR superintendent Ahren Wonderlich says. “It’s when someone calls and says they’re too fast.”
Slowly but surely, we’re getting there.

One of Lost Rail’s signature features: 3 of the final 4 greens are within 100 yards of the clubhouse. Haven’t found another finishing stretch quite like it.
Here’s the par-3 16th on the hill with the par-5 18th beneath it. Oh, and that’s the Elkhorn River on the horizon.

The drivable 10th plays east along a wicked ravine. Left is dead, but the key is the bunker 35 yards short right. Attack left of it? Blast driver over it & use the slope to get home? Or bail right, leaving a dicey downhill pitch to a green going away? Eagle is available. So is 6.

No. 1 plays atop a natural ridge overlooking most of the course and the river valley. It is a big golf hole by any definition. And it introduces important Lost Rail themes: wide fairways, bold contours and compact connections from hole to hole.
