Landmand Golf Club

Landmand is no country club course. Located on the Nebraska side of the Missouri River 20 minutes from Sioux City on the region’s heaving, glacially forged land. And the golf holes are nothing if not extraordinary, in the essence of the word: They are beyond ordinary. The dimensions and topographical intensity put it in league with modern outsize courses. Landmand thunders over the tops of ridges and plunges into basins and valleys. Horizons stretch 20 miles or more from the elevated ridges. The holes are expansive to fill up the enormous airspace with Titanic-sized bunkers and greens and fairways flexing out to over 100 yards across. The goal was to photograph this golf course before it opened to the public for Golf Digest and Golf Magazine articles.
