Sand Hills (2125 words)
Long aware of the great sand hills range and of the Ogallala aquifer, Youngscap searched this unique area for several years looking for property with land forms that might yield holes of high golfing quality.
As Youngscap notes, 'Not all sand hills are created equally' and the particular parcel of land that was eventually settled upon was brought to Youngscap's attention because of its poor grazing qualities: the sandy soil lacked humus and thus much vegetation, requiring 25 acres to support each cattle.
The Lodging Information booklet points out that because of the excellent sand particles, the cost per Sand Hills green was $300 as neither drain tile/gravel under the greens nor special greens mix were required.
Sand Hills (Nebraska) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (487 words)
The Sand Hills sit atop the massive Ogallala Aquifer, and marshes and shallow lakes—both temporary and permanent—are common in low-lying parts of the Sand Hills.
The plant-anchored dunes of the Sand Hills were formed at the end of North America's most recent ice age by wind-blown particles originating from regions to the north and west of Nebraska.
Although the Sand Hills were long considered 'an irreclaimable desert,' settlers began to discover their potential as rangeland for cattle in the 1870s.
