Hamburg Golf Course is decent for a Muni, though they made a HUGE error when changing from 9 to 18 holes a number of years ago. They put 9 more holes in the footprint that probably could have only handed 3 or 4 more holes. There was land adjacent, and across the street that they could have acquired and build additional holes on, but did not.
The best part of the course is the Men-s club. A very active club with skins games going on at least 3 days a week, and between 10 and 15 club tournaments each year. Well run outfit, that still has room in it to join.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
