Quarry Oaks is an 18-hole public course near Ashland, Nebraska, built across limestone hills above the Platte River and partly on a former aggregate quarry. John LaFoy designed the original course in the mid-1990s, using the site's existing ridges, valleys, mature trees and quarry features as major elements of the routing. Public play began in 1996 and a formal grand opening followed in 1997.
LaFoy returned to lead an extensive 2023-24 renovation that rebuilt tees, greens and bunkers, introduced new tee positions, converted playing surfaces to new bentgrass and opened additional views through selective tree clearing. The current 2026 scorecard lists Tee I at 7,213 yards, par 72, with a 75.9 rating and 144 slope; three shorter primary tee sets extend down to 4,721 yards. Current 2026 public pricing is US$160 plus tax for 18 holes, including cart and range balls.
The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. It plays to par 72, 7,213 yards, course rating 75.9 and slope rating 144. Designed by John LaFoy, the course originally opened in 1996. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Driving Range, Range Balls Included, Golf Cart Rental, Clubhouse, Restaurant, Bar, Golf Shop, Halfway Houses, and 1 more.
The Abel family owned the rugged former quarry property for decades before pursuing golf development. After earlier consultants considered the terrain too severe, engineers Roger Severin and Dan Muhleisen demonstrated that a championship routing could fit the site. John LaFoy walked the property in 1993 and was commissioned to develop the final design.
LaFoy used the existing landforms rather than substantially flattening the property. Mature trees, quarry walls, ridges and the Platte River valley became integral visual and strategic elements. The par-3 15th is routed across the quarry itself.
Construction began in April 1995 and the course began public play in 1996. LaFoy returned nearly three decades later to direct a comprehensive rebuild. Work included new bentgrass tees, greens and fairways, reconstructed and expanded bunkering, additional tee positions and selective tree removal.
Limited reopened play began in 2024, followed by the renovated course's subsequent full seasons.
Quarry Oaks is a daily-fee public course with 15-minute tee intervals and a single inclusive 2026 rate covering golf, cart and range balls.
