Golf in Hamilton

Hamilton is the Caldwell County seat in northwestern Missouri, birthplace of J.C. Penney, the department store magnate who grew up in this small Missouri town before building one of America's largest retail chains. The J.C. Penney Birthplace Museum honors the hometown heritage of an entrepreneur who transformed American retail, and Hamilton takes pride in its connection to the department store tradition. Caldwell County's agricultural economy of grain and cattle farming sustains the county seat community. Golf has served this Missouri community as a consistent recreational anchor through economic cycles, providing an outdoor activity that connects residents to the natural landscape in every season that weather allows.
