  The Engineers Club of Omaha will be hosting our 10th annual golf tournament at Tara Hills Golf Course, Papillion, NE. Proceeds from the event will go to the Engineers Club of Omaha scholarship program. Last year, the tournament raised a record $16,000 which allowed the club to increase scholarships awarded this spring! Join us in celebrating Engineers Club of Omaha's 100th anniversary at this year's golf event!

  Our goal this year is to register 36 teams and raise $20,000 to provide even more student scholarships in 2025. We couldn't do this without the generous support of our members and sponsors!

  The tournament is a 4 person "scramble" format. Entry fee includes - 18 hole green fee, cart rental, a meal, and 2 drink tickets. The option to purchase "mulligans" and other advantages will also be made available to keep the event fun and interesting. This event will be rain or shine.
