Ground was broken in the spring of 1969 using community funds, grants, and a plethora of volunteers. The end result is a beautiful layout that opened for play in the summer of 1970 to rave reviews. Upon its inception, foliage was sparse, however, over the years hundreds of hardwoods and pines have been planted to clearly define fairways and dispel the philosophy that trees are 90% air. The carpeted fairways are lush and thick and the enormous greens hold a well struck shot very well. Superintendent Doug Ofstie and his staff have been meticulous in grooming the golf course to the point where it is one of the most well kept courses in the area. Hammond Golf Course boasts one of the finest driving ranges in the area having a length well over 300 yards and can accommodate up to 20 golfers at one time intent on improving their games. The range is approximately 50 yards wide and has two tiers. A class operation. After your round you will enjoy visiting Hammond's 19th hole for refreshments, snacks, sandwiches, hamburgers and our friendly staff. While we do have a kitchen, we are limited in our ability to serve large groups of guests, but you are still encouraged to hold corporate outings, wedding receptions, and birthday parties at our facility as caterers in the area will be more than accommodating in your requirements for furnishing the food. Banquet facilities will easily accommodate up to 75 guests. The staff of the Hammond Golf Club looks forward to serving you and your family.
