Hole 9 at Indian Creek Golf Course (Gray Hawk)
Par 4 • 378 Yards • Elkhorn, Nebraska
The finishing hole at Indian Creek Golf Course (Gray Hawk) presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that demands precision over power. At 378 yards, this straight-away hole appears generous from the tee, but the small green complex quickly reveals its true challenge. The absence of major hazards places the emphasis squarely on accuracy, as golfers must navigate a clean approach to find the compact putting surface. The tee shot offers plenty of room to work with, allowing players to focus on positioning for the crucial second shot. What makes this hole memorable is its honest test of iron play – miss the green, and scrambling for par becomes the priority on this 7-handicap hole that serves as a fitting finale to the front nine.
