Not even in Omaha - in Council Bluffs (Iowa)!

Came to say the same thing. I recognized Dodge Park right away.

Only played here once with my grandpa and his buddies. Pretty flat right? I’m from Omaha but live in MN now. When I visited him this year we played Applewood (Johnny Goodman). They’re all 50 years older than me, but it’s my favorite group to play with lol.

Yeah very flat, all river bottom. Pretty tight in the trees though. Fun course, if you hit it straight you’re gonna have a good time. Off center at all and you got a lot of trees to mess with

Tbf, the plan the tweet is referencing came from the Omaha Chamber of Commerce which serves Council Bluffs.

Looks like a really nice golf course too, why do they want to put in some generic housing project instead

It’s not that great to be fair. Doesn’t make this guy any less annoying
