Fun mountain (ish) course

Course in great condition. Fun elevation changes and beautiful views. Course in very good condition and while the course was busy, pace of play was reasonable. 9- hole course. Fun to play 18 and improve score by 6 strokes second time around.

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.
