To keep our putting surfaces smooth, healthy, and resilient year-round, our maintenance teams will be performing core aeration across our courses. Please note the upcoming aeration dates below and plan your tee times accordingly.

Knolls: Sept 8 – 9

Steve Hogan: TBA
Spring Lake: TBA
Westwood: Completed

What Is Green Aeration & Why Do We Do It?
If you've ever wondered what happens during aeration, here is a quick breakdown of the process:

Core Extraction: Specialized aerification machines remove tiny soil plugs (cores) from the putting surface to break up thatch and compacted soil caused by foot traffic and machinery.

Oxygen & Nutrient Flow: Removing these cores creates vital pathways for air, water, and nutrients to reach deep into the roots.

Sand Topdressing: Fine sand is spread across the green and brushed into the open holes to stabilize the turf.

Recovery & Smoothness: Deep root growth is stimulated, helping the grass heal quickly so greens stay fast and true all season long!

Thank you for your patience and support as we invest in the long-term health of our greens. Check out the video below to see our crew in action!

110 years of Elmwood Golf Course 🏌⛳

Here's a look at THEN & NOW photo series, the historic source map from 1915!

110 YEARS OF ELMWOOD GOLF COURSE! ⛳️ To celebrate this milestone, we are sharing our THEN & NOW photo series and celebrating with Tee it Up FORE Omaha Parks! this September.

This historic course map from 1915 originally placed the first hole next to the Elmwood Park Pavilion that’s been used since 1909. (1915, Omaha Daily News) The original Elmwood Park Golf Course layout was designed in 1916 by Charles Johnson of the Happy Hollow Club and C.H. English, Omaha’s Recreation and Play Supervisor.

“Always presenting the most beautiful natural hazards, old Elmwood park, with its acres and acres of fine big trees, ravines, undergrowth, hills and valleys, has been converted into a links that is nearly perfect — so nearly perfect, in fact, that even the most skilled player will find difficulties which will tax him to the utmost to overcome.” Sunday World Herald, December 2, 1915

In 1915, Omaha Parks Commissioner Joseph Hummel recognized the potential for a new 18-hole municipal course to offer an alternative to 9-hole Miller Park Golf Course, founded in 1911. As Elmwood Golf Course opened in 1916, they had 70 members and predicted they would expand to 200 by 1917.

This historic picture shows the course in the 1920s. (Durham BF7-318A, Omaha Bee, Omaha World Herald)
