Hillside is the Panhandle’s best-kept public secret. Routed over and around a scenic canyon in the bluffs south of Sidney, it uses the natural elevation changes to create wonderfully varied holes — grip-and-rip drivers on some, strategic layups on others, all of it scenic. Travelers who’ve played 45 states call it one of their fondest golf memories, and the value ratings are off the charts.
The clubhouse kitchen has a cult following — multiple reviewers insist it makes the best BLT in western Nebraska, and the bar and restaurant get genuine love. Pace of play is famously fast, the staff is famously friendly, and the greens are consistently praised.
It’s the perfect Cabela’s pairing: the flagship store is in Sidney, and golfers routinely build a day around a morning at the outfitter and an afternoon at Hillside. Book through GolfNow or call the shop — twilight rates are a steal.
