John Hadwick could just as well serve as historians for Municipal Golf Course. They've all been there since day one. Hadwick can remember when the ground that now supports Municipal's 18-hole layout was part old landfill and part cornfield. All three find it almost hard to believe the golf course is starting its 25th season of operation this year. Kruse said that the continuity of staff has helped make Municipal a smooth-running operation.
People know who they're going to see when they walk in the clubhouse.
Brunzell said he has plenty of great memories working alongside Kruse and Hadwick the past quarter century. I also have great memories of how all the members of the community kind of got together, worked really hard and helped make this a very successful golf facility. Municipal has been successful on several levels. Hadwick said the course has fully supported itself since 1978. Municipal has also maintained a 3-star rating from Golf Digest for the past six years.
