One of my favorite courses to play in the state. Can be tough to navigate for first time players due to the lack of good signs. With some updated tee signs and course navigational aids this course is an A+.

My only other minor complaint is a controversial one. I really dislike throwing a great shot off the tee, being in circle one and not having a putt. The greens on most holes are really close to pine trees that tend to make putts impossible if you end up in or behind them. That being said, the argument can be made that the course is as hard as it is because if you are off by a few feet (literally) you will be punished for it.

Regardless of it being my home course and bias aside it's still my all time favorite because you never know what you're gonna get. It's a course that you hate you love. Especially now that we have Vet ... show more ›

Regardless of it being my home course and bias aside it's still my all time favorite because you never know what you're gonna get. It's a course that you hate you love. Especially now that we have Veteran baskets (with multiple different pin positions) and UDisc is properly being kept up with hole directions, distances etc.. I think Cottonmill could easily go down as one of the greatest courses of all time in the surrounding area. Very tough yet scoreable if you're playing well. Great elevation changes, variety of "hit your gap" type shots and a beautiful park to go along with it. If you're reading this and have yet to make it out to Kearney to play it, you're missing out.

Great course. Lots of elevation changes and water hazards. Mostly wooded course. Few have open fairways. There's A and B positions for baskets. Changed every month or so. B placement is longer and mor ... show more ›

Great course. Lots of elevation changes and water hazards. Mostly wooded course. Few have open fairways. There's A and B positions for baskets. Changed every month or so. B placement is longer and more challenging. A little hard to get around if you've never played it. You can use map off DGCR or download Kearney App. for phone. Highly recommend playing this course if you're in the area.

I drove out to Kearney to play the #1 rated course in NE based on reviews. While the baskets were really nice and the course was good there were huge flaws in this course. Often times I would find myself wandering around other fairways or in-between fairways to get to the next hole, some holes even share fairways... I think. On that note I think I may have spent more time finding tee pads and baskets than shooting. Without a local it was impossible for me to play this course correct. Sometimes there were alternate tee pads and alternate baskets, the only problem being that some of the alternate baskets didn't exist. The signage is good but there needs to be more. I will be back to play again but the course still needs some improvement.

This is an amazing course with a great deal of difficulty. Definitely a championship caliber course in my opinion. It does need longer teepads on most of the holes though. I also had a problem on hole ... show more ›

This is an amazing course with a great deal of difficulty. Definitely a championship caliber course in my opinion. It does need longer teepads on most of the holes though. I also had a problem on hole 12 finding the right hole. I found a concrete teepad that led to no basket and a temporary teepad with a basket so I played that hole as hole 12 which it may be but I wasn't sure.

Surprisingly great course! Variety of finesse and power shots, open fairways and tight gaps, doglegs, water hazzards, and elevation! A few holes shoot across a pond. All fairways well mowed and man ... show more ›

Surprisingly great course! Variety of finesse and power shots, open fairways and tight gaps, doglegs, water hazzards, and elevation! A few holes shoot across a pond. All fairways well mowed and manicured. All concrete tees with alternates and movable pin locations. Good signage on all holes, easy to follow course flow. A really nice quiet park- check this course out if you are in the area!
