Indian Creek

I am a member of a private club in Omaha, but enjoy playing other courses throughout the season. On this occasion, I had clients in town for 2 days of golf and their preference was to try «something new». We arrived on time and paid for 9 holes since it was raining. I consider the price to be fair given the relative quality of the course.
The pro shop staff were very flexible and friendly and said we can pay at the turn if want to continue depending on the weather. They handed us cart keys and my friends went to get their clubs. Upon returning to the starting area, we were verbally accosted by the exuberant starter who said that carts were not allowed in the parking lot. I am lucky and get to play at 20 plus courses a year. Not taking carts to your vehicle is a first for me and absolutely nothing to be angry about. This was just the start, he asked us which course we were playing. Normally this is obvious; you tend to start on # 1, right? Well Indian Creek has 27 holes and the pro shop didn’t say which one. As if this wasn’t bad enough, the starter asked us for proof of payment. This isn’t uncommon at public courses where I presume some people try to sneak on. It was simply the rude, combative and arrogant tone this man used that was totally out of line.
Although wet, the golf course was in decent shape. It doesn’t have the epic views or serenity that the courses out by Ashland enjoy. Overall, I give 3 stars because of poor customer interaction and indifference in the pro shop when I shared my experience. I would consider this a fluke but had a similar experience last year when playing with my wife. I can assure you I will not be back to Indian Creek.

I recently had my wedding reception at Indian Creek, and overall it was a positive experience. The coordination team is pretty organized and they meet with you to go over details and make sure everything is set for your event.
The space is lovely, which is why I booked it in the first place. There’s a nice big bar in the back of the main room. The dance floor is a good size, not too big. Very comfortable but also elegant.
The services and the rooms are pretty pricey. We paid for a beer and wine package, instead of a full bar, and still it was costly. I would suggest having them lower their prices for just renting the hall. I’m sure the property has to be maintained, but I did kind of feel like it was a highway robbery experience. Weddings=$$$
They require you to spend a minimum of $ 2,000 on alcohol for a Saturday night, regardless of the beverage package you choose. This ended up being fine for us because we did beer and wine for about 150 guests and a champagne toast, which was just over the minimum. But it’s good to know when you’re considering the place.
Indian creek has just one caterer approved for food, which is HAP Abraham. They did a fine job. Just be aware if you have your heart set on a specific caterer.
Overall the staff and event planners helped the reception go as smoothly as possible from their end of things. They coordinated with my vendors, my MOH, and if something went wrong as far as deliveries or timing, I never noticed. Very professional and helped the evening go off without a hitch (well, at least from an event standpoint!).

This review is for the clubhouse — not the golf course.
We went to the Pheasants Forever banquet here last week and everything went well. The place is very nice and clean. The bartenders were friendly and attentive. The food was catered by Hap Abrahams and it was great. The catering staff was very friendly and thorough.

Indian Creek is a privately-​owned, daily fee 27-​hole course, with self-​described «challenging greens and spectacular views.»
There’s plenty of water, bunkers, large mounds coming into play as well, so for me being a mediocre-​poor golfer it’s plenty challenging, but also just nice to hang out on the course as well during those double-​par moments. Since it’s in Elkhorn, you get that nice ‘remote’ feeling as well (even though, yes you’re still surrounded by houses).
I’ve played here all of six times now, and honestly every time is still different. For a more experienced (i.e. better) golfer, I’m sure it’s much more fun and maybe even a little more consistent.
