On the outskirts of Dakota City, Nebraska, the Andersen family saw potential in land that was once home to an 18-hole golf course. They purchased the property in 2006 with a vision to transform it into a prestigious and challenging 9-hole course, and in 2010, Old Dane Golf Club opened its doors.

In 2024, the Andersens set out on their next ambitious chapter: expanding the layout from 9 holes to 12 and making Old Dane a walking-only course that brings the game back to its roots. They reshaped the landscape and reworked elevations throughout the property, turning Old Dane into a premium links-style golf experience.
