In 2026, we’re celebrating 100 years of the Country Club Neighborhood - one of Omaha’s most distinctive residential areas, known for its winding streets, mature trees and remarkable homes. Throughout the year, this blog will be home to 100 stories from our neighborhood — celebrating the people, places, architecture, and memories that shaped it into the community we call home. Follow along as we explore how a golf course became a neighborhood, and how history still lives on our streets.

STORY #3: Where Was the Golf Course?
When the Omaha Country Club first opened, its grounds stretched roughly from 52nd to 56th Streets and from Blondo Street north to Military Avenue — an area that would later shape the curving streets and triangular lots of today’s Country Club neighborhood.
STORY #2: Omaha Country Club Purchases Land “In the Country”
According to the 2017 Omaha Country Club history book, in 1899 a group of prominent Omahans purchased about 80 acres south and east of the terminus of the Benson trolley line at 56th and Military Avenue to establish the Omaha Country Club and its golf course. The golf course was the first club of its kind in Omaha and one of the earliest in Nebraska.
