Firethorn takes pride in our commitment to golf at the local, state and
national level. Firethorn is the home of the University of Nebraska
men’s and women’s golf teams. Firethorn hosted both the men’s and
women’s Nebraska State Amateur Championships, along with the men’s
State Match Play Championship. On a national level, Firethorn was
the venue for the NCAA Division III Men’s National Championship,
the Women’s Western Amateur Championship, and qualifying rounds for
the U.S. Open, U.S. Senior Open, the USGA Mid-Am, and U.S. Women’s
Open. Finally, the 1996 U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship and the
2002 Women’s Trans-National Championship were played at Firethorn.
Our annual events for members include , “The Quest”, our member-guest
tournament, a Pro-Member tournament featuring the top professionals
in Nebraska, and our Team Championship (The Member-Member), the most
popular event of the year. Both men and women compete in team
matches throughout the year against other private clubs, and
“Championship Weekend” determines our Men’s, Women’s and Junior
Club Champions.
As you can tell from the long list of women’s championship events,
Firethorn supports women’s golf. Firethorn was on the leading edge
by having one of the first female head professionals in the country.
Firethorn is also committed to junior golf. Our junior programs
offer a learning experience for all age groups, from the “Little
Linkers” all the way through high school. With 27 holes, course
access for our junior players is rarely a problem.
