ABOUT US:
- The Omaha Country Club began on September 30th, 1899, when members chose a site for their golf club in the country area that is now bounded by 52nd Street and Military Avenue, 56th Street and Blondo. A two story clubhouse was built in the Northwest corner of the site, and provided locker rooms, social and dining halls, a men’s grill and several upstairs bedrooms which House Rules prescribed might be engaged for one week periods by members.
- Twenty years after the establishment of the Club, there was increasing pressure from the encroachment of a growing city. It was decided by the membership that a new site had to be found. By 1925, construction of the new clubhouse and pool began. The beautiful new clubhouse was formally opened in 1927 on the very site that it stands upon today.
- Since that time, the Club has seen some changes. In the sixties, a Ladies’ locker room was added on the North of the clubhouse, along with a new golf shop and patio. In 1987, the Men’s locker room was completely remodeled. Then, in 1998, an extensive renovation was undertaken. The clubhouse was virtually gutted and rebuilt. The ballroom stayed the same, except the floors being carpeted and a fresh coat of paint. An additional two banquet rooms were built alongside the original St. Andrews ballroom. The interior of the clubhouse was changed with dining rooms being altered and moved, along with offices being built upstairs. The overall appearance of the interior was updated while maintaining its elegant heritage
