I loved this hole and it showed off the movement in the property in an impressive fashion. The steep fairway doesn't allow many spots to lay up to confidently, especially since four bunkers protect the fairway in that zone and three more bunkers protect the green. After cascading down approximately 50 feet, players are then faced with an uphill approach shot that must climb as much, or more, elevation going up as they just enjoyed going down. From the elevated tee players are not afforded a view of the lowest point of the fairway where a creek comes in from the right and then tunnels under the fairway before exiting out the left rough.

In a state best known for corn fields, Husker football, and golf courses in the sandhills, Omaha stands out as finest country club in Nebraska and one of the best courses in the entire Midwest.
The course isn't long but is a stern test to say the least, in fact, I've never had so much fun shooting a 91. The sprawling clubhouse is more than sufficient to handle large events for the membership and various tournaments a necessity for hosting USGA events. The greens and conditioning are superb with Maxwell's putting contours providing impressive challenges at the speeds the club maintains them at. Some of the elevation changes throughout the course can add or subtract 2-3 clubs from your usual selection at that distance.

It is a tough enough walk that several players withdrew from the 2013 U.S. Boy was I wrong, and I've never been happier about it! OCC is very hilly, dramatic, and difficult. Like many people coming to Omaha I made the assumption that the course would be mostly flat similar to other championship layouts like Winged Foot, Baltusrol, and Inverness.
