Wilderness Ridge Reviews

Great golf course and food, worth the trip out there.

We went to the Christmas brunch and the food was cold and you had to wait for it to be brought out, they were always short on the food. The room was also chilly, not what you should expect for $20.00 dollars a plate.

The place was well maintained for today's auto show.

I went here to play in a band for a wedding and I thought this place was very cozy for the wedding. Nice decor. They had many rooms to choose from. The hall we were in can hold 200 people or a little more. Food was good. We had lobster tail and steak. The steaks were a little too well done, a little too dry and not tender as most people were complaining. The rest of the food was okay I thought. For entertainment they had a stage for the band but no built in sound system. They had to bring that in. There is a big patio outside of the hall good for outdoor parties overlooking the large mini golf course for some games and activities. Over all I would recommend booking this place for your next event.

american food... excellent. Food was so tasty. I've had nothing but great experiences here and will keep coming back. It has a good interior.

Our group meets here every month. Always a great experience.

Great course. Excellent Brisket plate for CMBC golf lunch

I went here for a fundraiser as my first golfing experience. Everything was amazing here. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful. The course looks amazing with plenty to challenge even the most experienced golfer while showing a rookie like me how to truly respect the game. The pro shop rentals seemed to be of decent quality, and so were the rental carts. I'd love to play here again sometime.

Beautiful course, expertly well maintained. Challenging but playable.

Always have good here. Service is good as well. The decor is very beautiful, very nice atmosphere as well. Always seem to be accomadating!

Unfortunately I did not have the best food experience. The peach cocktail had no peach but lots of lemon juice and the Shrimp Carbonara was so salty it was almost inedible.

Background: We enjoyed eating at Wilderness Ridge until we moved to another state 3 years ago. We were back on June 5, 2016, and went to the Sunday Brunch which was more than disappointing. The selections for breakfast buffet were not much better than the cheap motels. We ordered eggs benedict which was served on a 3 day old English Muffin with a hard boiled egg and red sauce . The muffin could not be cut with a table knife. The Prime Rib was cold. I do not think our next visit will include Wilderness unless we know there is a new chef. We had to constantly ask for service. This is extremely sad for a restaurant in a beautiful setting.

For an upscale daily-fee course and such an extravagant clubhouse you'd sure expect more on the inside as it relates to customer service. I'm speaking to the golf side which is why this monstrosity exists in Lincoln Nebraska having been the brainchild of its most successful golf professional in Jim White.
I've worked at upscale daily-fee courses before (or semi-private as they referred to while I was living in Virginia) and I'm dumbfounded as to they bombed the design of this clubhouse as it pertains to golfers arriving. If you want a smooth, paved walk to the cart staging area you'll the middle of the farthest south end of the parking lot which is a trek given the design of the parking lot and its many islands. Otherwise you'll have to walk down uneven stone steps to get onto the path that bisects the clubhouse from the driving range....if you can locate the handrail the identifies their existence.
My biggest gripe is the service (or lack thereof) inside the proshop/F&B area. I can't tell you the number of times I felt like I was being an inconvenience to the young lady in the cafe next to the pro shop. A weekly crash course in customer service would benefit these folks immensely and even then they'd still need more help.
If you can somehow escape the dumpster fire inside with your senses (and dignity) intact then you'll be happy to find a golf course that's pretty nice. I will never complain about the golf course. It's fairly challenging and is ALWAYS in great shape. Some tricky little holes exist out there which make the golf itself worth the while in Lincoln.
But avoid as much contact as you can inside. They don't wanna talk to you either.

Great food. Nice atmosphere. It is pricey for what you are served.

A transplanted lodge, with the warm wood interior, large fireplaces, and animal trophies. It is multiroomed and spacious. A unique venue for catered events, retreats, workshops, weddings, and meetings.

Way understaffed! The food is excellent and well-presented, & the handicapped parking is great; but multiple goof-ups (e.g. people not getting food & beverages) detracted from the overall experience.

Great service, beautiful venue. Makes you feel like you are in a lodge in Colorado.

Beautiful course, lots of amenities, reasonable price
