Omaha Beach Golf Club caters to players of all abilities, with seven different teeing grounds to choose from. For your first round, we recommend playing the standard tees — Blue for men and Red for women — before trying the other options to mix up your game. Below is a description of each tee along with a recommended handicap guide.
Choosing the right tee for your ability is important for enjoying the course as it was intended to be played. For example, why play from the back tees and be hitting a 3-wood or 4-iron into a par-4 green when the professionals are hitting a 7-iron? Playing from the tees suited to your ability allows you to hit similar clubs into greens as the pros you see on TV, giving you a more comparable golfing experience.
Playing the appropriate tees also helps with the pace of play. When players are reaching greens in regulation more often, it keeps the field moving and means less time spent searching in the trees or playing extra recovery shots.

All tees can be played by both men and women, and scores from any set can be submitted for handicapping. Ladies may wish to try a round from the Blues, while low-handicap players could challenge themselves from the Purple or Red tees. Likewise, a 20-handicap player might try an afternoon nine holes from the Blacks to gain perspective on areas to improve.
Whatever tees you choose, enjoy the game, keep up with the pace of play, and help keep golf fun for everyone.
