Pioneers Golf Course

Pioneers Golf Course is a Public, 18 hole golf course located in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Pioneers Golf Course first opened for play in 1932. This par-71 course was designed by M.W. Tucker. The course, which was originally constructed as a 27-hole facility, was later reduced to its current 18-hole layout and is Lincoln's oldest municipal golf course. It is of championship length and has undergone several renovations, upgrades, and modernizations since its initial development.
