GOLFERS AND MORE Meanwhile, the airport already caters to a continual stream of golfers who fly into the area on private planes, as well as the regional airline. “It’s busy already for golf season,” says Airport Office Manager, Patrick Adamson.“And it’s going to get busier, which is nice. On top of golf, we have some of the best world-class hunting out here, too. We’ve also got the biggest lake in Nebraska about an hour to the west of us. So people fly in to hunt and fish.” For example, the well-regarded Dismal River Golf Club offers championship-level golf, as well as hunting, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, canoeing and kayaking, and mountain biking. “During the summer, Dismal River flies in golfers daily,” notes Gosnell. Sand Hills Golf Club is one of the country’s most exclusive with only a few hundred members, almost all of whom fly into the airport before heading out to the links. And another worldclass golf course is on the way: GrayBull, which is part of the Dormie Network of luxury clubs, is opening just 20 miles from the airport. It will provide its members with 18 superior holes, plus 15 private cottages, each of which features four master suites, a fully stocked bar, and a private patio with a fire pit. 99 AVIATION VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 04, ISSUE 03 NORTH PLATTE REGIONAL AIRPORT
