The Players Club is Omaha's only 27-hole private golf club, a signature Arnold Palmer design (with longtime collaborator Ed Seay) built on 350 acres of rolling farmland in northwest Omaha at Deer Creek Drive. The 18-hole Palmer Championship Course opened in June 2000; a third nine, The Highlands, opened in 2006 to complete the 27-hole layout, and the club began converting from public to private around the same time (sourcing conflicts on whether the conversion completed in 2006 or 2007). Concert Golf Partners, a national private-club acquisition and management group, purchased the club in 2022 and continues to operate it as a private facility.

The surrounding residential product is where this anchor requires careful, deliberate modeling rather than a simple name match: the golf course itself carries the club's own "Players Club" branding, while the homes built along and on the course are marketed and governed under a distinctly different family of names — Deer Creek, Deer Creek Highlands, and Deer Creek Reserve (86 luxury homesites built directly on the golf course, priced from the mid-$200,000s to the $600,000s) — each with its own homeowners association (managed by PJ Morgan Company). This is a genuine anchor-community relationship, not a shared-name coincidence, but it is not a bundled one: golf and social memberships are purchased separately from a home, with a reported $9,000 full-golf initiation fee ($6,500 for a Jr. Golf tier) and $430/month dues.

For a golf-oriented buyer, The Players Club offers the metro's only 27-hole private golf product and real course-adjacent housing stock across three named phases, but access to the club itself is an independent purchase decision from buying in Deer Creek — exactly the pattern the platform's proximity-versus-access discipline exists to make explicit.

Golf & Course

27 holes across the Palmer Championship Course (par 71, 7,088 yards from the back tees) and The Highlands 9, both designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay through Palmer Course Design. The Championship course opened in 2000; The Highlands 9 opened in 2006, completing the 27-hole layout with more elevation change and smaller greens.

Membership & Access

Does buying a home here include club membership?

No — homeownership does not automatically include membership. See details below.

Golf and social memberships are purchased separately from home ownership in any of the surrounding Deer Creek phases; no source found ties membership to a Deer Creek home purchase, and none describes membership as included or required. Reported current fees: $9,000 full-golf initiation ($6,500 Jr. Golf) and $2,000 social initiation, with $430/month full-golf, $380/month Jr. Golf, and $145/month social dues.

Living in The Players Club

Three distinctly named residential phases sit along and on the course: Deer Creek (the original neighborhood), Deer Creek Highlands, and Deer Creek Reserve (86 homesites built directly on the golf course, mid-$200,000s to $600,000s, ranch/1.5-story/two-story homes from roughly 1,600 to over 5,000 square feet). Each carries its own HOA, professionally managed by PJ Morgan Company, distinct from club membership.

What Buyers Should Verify

  • Confirm current membership fees directly with the club; figures here are secondary-sourced (privateIQ, omahaguide.com), not the club's own published rate sheet.
  • Resolve whether the public-to-private conversion completed in 2006 or 2007 — sources conflict.
  • Confirm whether any of the three Deer Creek phases carry a preferential or bundled membership arrangement not surfaced in this research pass.

Notable

  • Omaha's only 27-hole private club; the Palmer Championship Course and The Highlands 9 were designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay.
  • Acquired by Concert Golf Partners in 2022 as part of its national private-club portfolio.
  • Deer Creek Reserve places 86 luxury homesites directly on the golf course itself, distinct from the club's own branding.
