Welcome to the Hammer!

We are happy to present the 26th Annual Hammer Open Charity Classic annual event this year on September 14, 2025 at our NEW venue, Redtail Golf Club.  The event is organized by the Knights of Columbus for the support and financial assistance of select charities.  The event has provided many thousands of dollars in the last 25 years to various charities.

The event is a four-man scramble format with registration starting at 11:30 AM and a shotgun start at 1:00 pm, and includes dinner after the event and new this year a sausage sampler at the turn.  There are plenty of opportunities to win prizes for Hole-In-One, Closest to the Pin, Longest Drive, Longest Putt and others.  We will again have great raffles and prizes.

For those golfers who have participated in the past we greatly appreciate your support and look forward to your attendance this year at our new and challenging venue.  We could not do this without you.  Whether you are able or unable to attend please pass this along to others who might enjoy the event in support of these charities.
