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.

Nice course

First time playing the course. Saw it was inaccurate listed as par 32, when in fact is par 36. Played several courses in the area and this was a pleasant surprise. No gimmicky holes. Good layout and course conditions. Nice clubhouse and staff. We played in under 2 hours. Better course than any other 9 hole in the hills.

Beautiful Course in Black Hills of South Dakota

We were in South Dakota for the Sturgis motorcycle rally and played a few courses in the area. Rocky Knolls happened to be 10 minutes from where we were staying in Custer. Excellent course! Beautiful scenery, course was in excellent shape, staff was very friendly and the weather was perfect. One of those great golf rounds, it all came together. Highly recommend and we will be back next time we're in the area.

Great 9 Hole course

Short delay for high school tournament. Then pretty much had the course to ourselves. Great 9 hole with some challenging features.
