State of play

When I arrived at the golf course, there was contention by staff that the cart was not included in the GolfNow hot deal when I have no option choosing the GolfNow except for including the cart so it needs to be cleared up with this golf course as soon as possible to keep their books straight

Slow play

Back nine took 2:40. Senior league was having a, Mulligan on every shot, event. The party ahead of us did not seem interested in letting us play through. No Marshall.

Great round at Rocky Knolls!

Played yesterday with a friend and his grandson. Check in, cart and course were all great. It’s a great nine hole layout in the beautiful Black Hills. Very accommodating staff. The first hole, a shorter par 5, alone is worth the price of the green fees. We had a really fun round. Thanks Rocky Knolls. We’ll be back.

Fun

I was in the area and looking to play a round. This place was nice and had openings. The clubs to rent are not the best but the course was very well maintained. Not much of a driving range for warming up.

Mountain Course

We play this course a couple of times a year when it gets hot in Rapid City. Nothing fancy but they have a full bar so you can enjoy a drink or three on your round if you choose. Course was in good shape, greens were receptive, just fast enough and a little bumpy in spots but for a mountain course they were good. It’s only a nine hole course but sometimes playing a course twice is a good thing.
