Few private clubs in the Midwest carry the quiet prestige of Happy Hollow Club. Founded in the early 20th century, it stands among Omaha's most storied members' clubs — a place where the game has been played seriously and lovingly across generations. The course plays to a par 71, an unusual number that signals something more interesting than a cookie-cutter layout: expect a routing that makes thoughtful use of its terrain rather than defaulting to formula.
Omaha sits at the eastern edge of Nebraska, where the Great Plains begin their roll toward the Missouri River bluffs. That topography gives Happy Hollow its name and its character — the ground moves, the land drops and climbs, and the turf has a firmness that rewards ground-game thinking. Tree-lined fairways and the rhythms of a traditional parkland design define the experience here.
This is a club built for its members, not for spectacle. The atmosphere is unhurried and familiar, the kind of place where the game itself — not amenity or flash — remains the point.
