Golf in Bellevue

Bellevue is Nebraska's third-largest city and claims status as the state's oldest continuously inhabited community, established as a trading post on the Missouri River bluffs. Today Bellevue is home to Offutt Air Force Base — headquarters of U.S. Strategic Command — and has grown into a substantial suburban city of 65,000 within the Omaha metro. The Missouri River bluffs give Bellevue more topographic character than most Nebraska communities, with the elevated terrain providing commanding views toward the Iowa side. Fontenelle Golf Course serves the city's established residential community. The Missouri River bluffs that give Bellevue its topographic character continue northward through Omaha, defining the eastern edge of the metropolitan area. Nebraska's oldest continuously inhabited community has layered its history from fur trading to military aviation in a way that makes it genuinely distinctive within the metro.
