50th Nebraska Classic Golf Tournament

The Nebraska Classic started in 1974, here in the desert, as a gathering of friends with Nebraska ties. That gathering had a golf outing and a social aspect that continues to this day The event has been hosted by several clubs in the Coachella Valley over the years. Mission Lakes CC hosted the first of many in the early years. The tournament then moved to Rancho Mirage CC and Cathedral Canyon CC during the 90’s. In 2003 the event moved to Woodhaven and then to Avondale which hosted the tournament in 2007, Heritage Palms began hosting in 2008.
