Golf in Blair

Blair in Washington County sits on the Missouri River bluffs north of Omaha, a city of roughly 8,000 with a history rooted in its position along the river crossing. Dana College — now closed — shaped Blair's academic identity for over a century. The bluff terrain along the Missouri provides River Wilds Golf Club with topographic variety uncommon in eastern Nebraska, where most courses play across flat river-deposited terrain. Blair's agricultural economy and proximity to the Omaha metro give it a mixed character between farm town and exurb. Dana College's closure in 2010 left a gap in Blair's academic identity, but the community has maintained its service economy anchored by the Missouri River corridor. River Wilds Golf Club benefits from the bluff terrain that makes this stretch of the river visually dramatic and topographically interesting for golfers.
