Wildwood official hole-specific hazards and play guidance
The official Wildwood course guide identifies hole-specific hazards and target guidance: water right of green on hole 1; OB right on hole 2; one-club-longer par 3 approach on hole 4 with severe over-green recovery; walnut trees and a sloping green on hole 6; OB/hazard on hole 7; OB left on hole 8; and a critical uphill par-5 tee shot on hole 9 with a difficult right-side miss. This is course guidance, not a substitute for any temporary notice.
Course Intelligence
Course Character
Wildwood rewards placement and distance control: several holes punish an aggressive line even when the yardage looks short. Wildwood is Nebraska City’s oldest 9-hole municipal course at 1101 Wildwood Ln. Official sources describe tree-lined fairways, spacious greens and sand bunkers; the hole guide adds water/OB, severe slopes and uphill par 3/5 decisions. Wildwood: a compact municipal nine with trees, slopes and precise targets
Major Risks
Water on hole 1 The official guide warns that an aggressive line can finish in the water hazard right of the first green; favor the safe fairway side. OB and hazards around holes 2, 7 and 8 Official guidance identifies close OB on 2, OB/long plus a right hazard on 7, and OB left of 8’s green. Severe green slopes The guide notes sloping greens on holes 1, 4, 6, 7 and 8; avoid short-sided or downhill putt situations.
Blue Tee Strategy
The official guide publishes blue/white/red distances; this pack uses middle/white rather than inventing a tee assignment. Confirm today’s tee markers and any temporary setup at check-in. Use the official hole guide for targets, not stale third-party yardage tables. Middle setup uses official white/middle evidence

30-second Pre-round Brief

Protect hole 1 Hole 4 plays long with poor over-green recovery; hole 7 has OB left/long and hazard right. Control holes 4 and 7 The uphill par 5 rewards a safe tee target; avoid the difficult right-side miss. Position the ninth At Wildwood, favor safe target halves, protect the sloped greens and position the first and last holes carefully.
