On behalf of the City of Hammond and the Hammond Port Authority, I extend a warm welcome, and hopefully a welcome back, to what has become one of the most exciting weekends in golf in Northwest Indiana. Lost Marsh in Hammond has become an annual stop on the Duramed FUTURES Tour and this year’s event promises, as in years past, to be filled with moments that will be remembered for years to come.
Hammond’s commitment to the Duramed FUTURES Tour has meant a partnership that has increased the City’s commitment to the event, making Lost Marsh one of the most sought after trophies on the tour. Adding to Lost Marsh’s prestige is the newly opened Clubhouse, a first class facility for golfers and their families. From its dramatic entrance to the fully stocked pro shop, from the top of the line locker facilities to the banquet and restaurant with a bird’s eye view of the course and downtown Chicago, there is no better place to watch golf in the area.
Hammond continues to set the standard for public golf courses, not only in Northwest Indiana but throughout the Midwest. Lost Marsh’s commitment to environmental management and responsibility proves that “green” can work in traditionally industrial areas. I am proud to welcome the golfers (and their ever supportive friends and families), to this event and our city. We look forward to sharing with you all that Lost Marsh and the City of Hammond have to offer.
Wishing you long drives and straight putts,
Sincerely,
Thomas M. McDermott, Jr.
Mayor, City of Hammond

 Lost Marsh Golf ClubThe Lost Marsh championship 18-hole golf course is uniquely designed to challenge all levels of play. 330 acres of rolling greens picturesquely designed with trees, water and links-style holes give golfers a relief from the ordinary.
Lost Marsh has been heralded for its environmental achievement of restoring brownfields, birds and wildlife to a traditionally industrial area. The former slag site where Lost Marsh sits today offers golfers a unique experience blending industry and nature.
Because of its ecological commitment, the course was honored with a GCSAA/Golf Digest Environmental Leaders in Golf Aware (ELGA). ELGA recognizes golf course superintendents and their courses for overall course management excellence in the areas of Resource Conservation, Water Quality Management, Integrated Pest Management, Wildlife/Habitat Management and Education/Outreach.
Touted as Northwest Indiana’s Finest Public Golf Course, Lost Marsh’s proximity to so many other attractions makes it an ideal travel destination. It sits a short drive from Chicago and minutes from one of the most popular casinos in Northwest Indiana, the Horseshoe Casino. Lost Marsh is down the road from Lake Michigan’s Hammond Marina and only 90 minutes from four of Indiana’s largest cities.
