Benson Park Golf Course succeeded an earlier 9-hole course that opened in the same 217-acre city park in 1931 and closed in 1947. The current 18-hole layout, designed by Larry Packard, reopened in the 1960s at 5333 North 72nd Street. The park itself was established after Omaha annexed the Benson neighborhood in 1917, and the course remains a City of Omaha public operation today.
