Beautiful mountain course

The course is in excellent condition this year and the scenery and views of this Black Hills gem are soul lightening. Breathe in the fresh scent of the surrounding pines and enjoy a round of golf. Greens are challenging to say the least but this is one of those must golf golf courses if your ever in this area. Excellent staff and the food was good to. No pressure golfing.

A Must Play!

I've been wanting to play this course for some time now. Thru a "Hot Deal", my GF and I got on for a great price! Scenery was outstanding and the club house crew was very friendly. Just was it was 18 holes, but a MUST PLAY for any golf lover.

OK but challenging

Picked a cold day so it made golf a real challenge...45 degrees and windy. Holes were very scenic but fairways were very mushy and bumpy; greens are very undulating, were in need of mowing and it's easy to lose balls if not in fairway. Staff was very friendly but not a great 9-hole course. Quite a few blind shots.

Surprise in the Woods

Saw this course last year and decided I should play it when I was back in Deadwood. It is a great 9 hole course tucked back in the woods about 20 minutes outside Deadwood. Every hole provides a different and scenic view. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The course is in very good condition and can be challenging. Watch out for water on several holes, especially 17. My playing partner and I plan to go back again the next time we make it out to Deadwood.

Bad! Do Not Play!

9 hole course. We paid for 18 but only played 6 1/2 holes. Each of us lost 3 balls in the fairway mush or around the green swamp I n areas that should be no more than rough. Large areas of the course is swamp and muck. Even portions of the cart path are unusable. My worst experience ever. If I was a member, I'd be embarrassed to have a non member play with the course in this condition.

A little black hills gem

A great 9 hole course in the hills, a complete escape from everything on a beautiful layout.
