This 27-hole facility is owned and operated by the Hammond Port Authority, so it is very much open to the public. The main 18-hole course, the 9-hole executive-length track, and the First Tee facility were designed by Charles Howard and built over reclaimed brown-field about a half-hour southeast of Chicago. Wildlife habitat restoration was also part of the design.

The standard summer walking rates are $39 weekdays and $51 weekends, while shoulder season rates are $33 and $38. Corporate memberships are available as well, while the clubhouse includes a restaurant, bar, and a 240-seat banquet facility.
