What is Bayside Golf Club?
Bayside Golf Club is a family-owned public golf course, bar and grill, and events venue in Brule, Nebraska, set on Lake McConaughy. It's a links-style course with wide-open fairways and four par 3s that range from canyon carries to greens guarded by bunkers. From the middle tees it plays about 6,148 yards at par 72.
What sets it apart
- Public access — no private membership required to play; the course and bar and grill are open to the public.
- Design pedigree — the course was shaped by architects Dan Axland and Dave Proctor, who also worked on Sand Hills Golf Club in Mullen, NE and the rebuild of Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles.
- Packages — two customizable golf packages, "Golf the West Golf Tour" and "Links of Nebraska Package," include help arranging tee times and hotels.
- Beyond golf — a restaurant, bar and grill, tournaments, meetings and events, and lodging options, making it viable for a group trip rather than just a quick round.
Who it suits
A traveling golfer or group looking for a lake-side round in western Nebraska, especially anyone driving I-80 who wants a course with a links feel and on-site food, drinks, and event space. The trade-off is remoteness: it's a deliberate destination off the interstate, not a quick city stop, and the restaurant opens Memorial Day weekend, so early-season visitors should plan meals accordingly.
Next step
If you're considering a trip, decide first whether you want a single round or a multi-day package. For a package, contact the club directly at 308-287-GOLF (4653) to discuss tee times and lodging; for a simple round, book a tee time online. You can also compare regional options like Nebraska Golf Association for other courses in the area.
What is included in the Golf the West package?
The Golf the West package is one of two multi-course golf packages Bayside Golf Club offers, and the club describes both as "totally customizable" — Bayside will set up your tee times and hotels as part of the arrangement. So the package is essentially a coordinated golf trip built around a group of western Nebraska courses, with Bayside handling the scheduling and lodging logistics rather than selling a fixed, pre-set itinerary.
What that means in practice:
- Tee times are arranged for you across the participating courses, including Bayside itself.
- Hotels are booked as part of the package.
- Customization is the core feature — the lineup of courses, dates and lodging presumably flexes to your group, which suits buddy trips, small tournaments or couples who want a golf-focused road trip rather than a single-round booking.
The page does not list specific participating courses, night counts, or a per-person price for Golf the West, so treat those as open questions rather than assumed inclusions. The sister option, the Links of Nebraska Package, is the other customizable bundle; if you are weighing the two, ask which courses and lodging properties each one draws on, since that is where they will differ most.
Next step: call the pro shop at 308-287-GOLF (4653) and ask for the current Golf the West course list, minimum group size and whether lodging is bundled or quoted separately. If you are planning around a specific travel window, note that the club lists its 2026 season as open and its restaurant opening Memorial Day weekend — useful for judging whether your dates fall in a full-service period.
How do I book a tee time at Bayside Golf Club?
Book a tee time through the Book a Tee Time link on Bayside Golf Club's site, or call the pro shop at 308-287-GOLF (4653). The pro shop is listed as open 7am–7pm, Monday–Sunday, so calling during those hours is the most direct route if the online booking gives you trouble.

A few practical points before you book:
- The course is public, so you don't need a membership to reserve a time.
- It's a par-72 links-style layout, about 6,148 yards from the middle tees, with four par 3s that include canyon carries and bunkered greens. If you're bringing someone who hasn't played much, mention that when booking so the shop can pair you appropriately.
- The restaurant opens Memorial Day weekend, so don't count on a full meal on-site if you're playing in early spring.
- If you're traveling in, ask about the Golf the West or Links of Nebraska packages. Both are described as customizable and can include tee times and hotels arranged for you.
For a simple day trip, book online and plan your route in advance — the directions involve several turns off I-80 at Ogallala, so allow extra time. For a multi-day golf trip, call the shop and ask them to build a package rather than booking each round separately.
What are the green fees and rates at Bayside Golf Club?
Bayside Golf Club does not publish its green fees or rate card on the page I have. What the site does show is a "Rates" link in its navigation, so current pricing exists but is kept on a separate page rather than on the homepage.
What the page confirms about playing there:
- It is a public, links-style course with wide-open fairways and four par 3s, including canyon carries and bunkered greens.
- Middle tees average 6,148 yards, par 72.
- The pro shop is open 7am–7pm daily; the restaurant opens Memorial Day weekend.
- The 2026 season is listed as officially open, with tee times bookable.
Two package options are named — Golf the West Golf Tour and the Links of Nebraska Package — and the page states both are customizable and that the club will arrange tee times and hotels. That wording implies package pricing is quoted per trip rather than listed as a flat fee, but no figures appear on the page.
Next step: use the "Rates" page for green fees, and call 308-287-GOLF (4653) for package quotes, since custom itineraries are unlikely to have a published number. If you are comparing Nebraska courses before committing, Nebraska Golf Association is a reasonable starting point for state course information.
Decision criterion: if you only need a single round, the posted rate page plus a tee time is enough. If you want lodging and multiple courses, ask for a package quote and compare it against booking each course directly — custom packages bundle tee times and hotels, which is convenient but harder to price-check line by line.
Does Bayside Golf Club offer lodging for out-of-town golfers?
Yes—Bayside Golf Club presents itself as a destination for traveling golfers, with lodging listed as part of the site’s visitor information and golf packages that can include hotel arrangements.
What that means for an out-of-town trip
- The site’s navigation includes Lodging, alongside Rates, Tee Times, Golf the West, and Links of Nebraska Package.
- The two golf packages are described as totally customizable and able to set up tee times and hotels.
- The course is public and located on Lake McConaughy in Brule, Nebraska, with directions from I-80 at Ogallala.
Practical next step
If you want to stay overnight, ask specifically whether lodging is on-site, nearby, or arranged through a package—and whether the hotel portion can be bundled with tee times. Call 308-287-GOLF (4653) or use the site’s contact options. For a broader regional golf trip, you can also compare package ideas from Visit Nebraska.
Can I host a tournament or event at Bayside Golf Club?
Yes. Bayside Golf Club in Brule, Nebraska, lists tournaments and events among its services, alongside a bar & grill and dedicated meetings & events offerings. It is a public, family-owned course on Lake McConaughy, so you do not need a private membership to inquire about bringing a group.
What the club advertises for groups
- Tournaments — a listed service, typically the fit for shotgun-style or organized competitive play.
- Meetings & Events — a separate listing, useful if your gathering is more banquet or business-oriented than golf-focused.
- Bar & Grill — on-site dining, with the restaurant opening Memorial Day weekend.
- Lodging — listed as an option, which matters because Brule is a small town and your out-of-town players will need beds nearby.
- Golf packages — two are described: Golf the West Golf Tour and the Links of Nebraska Package. Both are presented as customizable, with the club arranging tee times and hotels. These are aimed at multi-day or traveling groups rather than a single afternoon outing.
How to decide whether it fits your event
| Your situation | Why Bayside may or may not work |
|---|---|
| Corporate outing or charity scramble | Tournaments are an advertised service; the bar & grill covers post-play food. |
| Multi-day group trip | The packages handle tee times and hotels, which reduces your planning load. |
| Meeting or banquet with little golf | Meetings & Events is listed separately, so ask specifically about non-golf space. |
| Guests flying in | Brule is rural; the club's own directions run from I-80 exit 126 at Ogallala, so plan ground transport. |
| Large field expecting a long championship course | Middle tees average 6,148 yards at par 72 — a links-style layout with wide fairways and four par 3s ranging from canyon carries to bunkered greens. |
Next step: call the pro shop at 308-287-GOLF (4653) with your date, headcount, and whether you want golf only or golf plus food and meeting space. Ask which of the two packages suits a single-day event versus a multi-day one, and confirm restaurant availability if your date falls before Memorial Day weekend. For a broader look at Nebraska golf, Nebraska Golf Association is a reasonable starting point for state-level course and event context, though your booking conversation should stay with Bayside directly.
