The Unique Landscape of Black Hills Courses
A Golf Experience Like No Other
Black Hills golf courses combine elements of mountain, prairie, and country club courses, creating something entirely unique. From elevated tee shots to expansive, open fairways, the courses here offer something for every golfer. For example, the signature par 3 #5 hole at The Golf Club at Red Rock—a shot over a canyon—offers a stunning visual challenge. Meanwhile, Southern Hills Golf Club features an elevated tee on hole #10, overlooking a rocky hillside, with a green fronted by a lake and surrounded by towering pine forests, creating an unforgettable shot. Each course design provides a unique challenge, ensuring that every round is both exciting and beautiful.
Wildlife at Every Turn
One of the most captivating features of the Black Hills golf courses is the abundance of wildlife. As you make your way through the fairways, it's common to spot deer, coyotes, wild turkeys, and even bald eagles. Occasionally, you might even glimpse the elusive mountain lion. This wildlife not only adds an element of surprise but also connects you more deeply to the natural surroundings, making each game feel like an adventure.
Stunning Natural Beauty
The natural beauty of the Black Hills is an essential part of the golf experience. From open prairie grasses at Elkhorn Ridge Golf Club to fairways lined with towering ponderosa pines, the landscape provides a stunning backdrop. Some holes immerse you in forests where trees create a natural canopy overhead, while others open to breathtaking views of the surrounding hills. Wherever you play, the beauty of the Black Hills captivates you from the first tee to the last putt.
Tee Options for Every Skill Level
The Black Hills courses offer multiple tee options, ensuring golfers of all skill levels have a fantastic experience. Course lengths range from 4,000 to 7,000 yards, giving players the flexibility to choose from forward tees for a more relaxed round or take on the back tees for a more challenging experience. These tee options allow you to adjust the challenge to suit your own level of experience and goals.
