News & Notes Dormie Network Hires David McLay Kidd to Design New Nebraska Course Dormie Network, a national network of private destination golf clubs will have David McLay Kidd design and build a new 18-hole private golf course, Graybull, in Nebraska. McLay Kidd, former design projects GrayBull will be Dormie Network’s seventh course and first facility built from the ground up, with a planned open date of 2024. “It has been my experience that the best-laid plans in ink often go to waste in the dirt. Our philosophy as golf designers subtly shifts, always adjusting to our current thinking and continued understanding of the game and what makes it popular,” McLay Kidd said. “However, the foundation of our philosophy remains focused on creating a course to be as natural, seamless, and as sustainable as possible. Dormie Network really knows what they’re doing, and I believe we’ll build something pretty impressive together.” In addition to an impeccable playing experience on McLay Kidd’s design, amenities will include a full-service clubhouse, a practice facility, lit putting green, custom fittings, and 60 beds onsite across 15 cottages for members to make the most of the evening entertainment available at network tournaments and private events.

Dormie Network and McLay Kidd found a piece of land by the Platte River perfect for a new golf course. McLay Kidd said, “Golfers actually experience a location, and golf is the excuse for doing so. This land is special, there’s nothing, but you and mother nature in its rawest, simplest, most beautiful form.” Ohio Golf Journal
