Rapid City Elks Golf Course

Front 9 is nice layout, lots of room, wide fairways, tricky par 3s. #8 is a world class hole- reachable par 5 but not worth the risk as green area is very tight with water.

First 4-5 holes on back 9 routes thru houses and are pretty mundane. Final 4 are top notch tough holes.

Greens break more than you think, course needs more yardage markers

The first 14 holes it was very hot and the greens where fast, then it rained for about 15 minutes and the greens slowed down and made putting easier. the day was a great day.

Check in was easy, Matt check us in very nice guy it was a good start for a good day and the price was good going thru GolfNow the course was excellent wish I wasn't just passing thru would come back again

I booked for 2 of us to play and someone else did the same but they let us go out as a twosome and earlier then our scheduled tee time.

The course was in great shape and we zip through.

First round of the year and shot 80

This is a nice course and they do a good job of maintaining it. Will play several times this summer.

Golfed the course multiple times, but was very disappointed when we were paired with another 2some that was allowed to bring their kids. I may not use golf now again if this is something that can regularly occur

I was all by myself and it was a perfect day. The course is in great shape considering how early in the season it is. Greens were a little sandy but thats to be expected. The staff was great. Had a 3 some in front of me and I was by myself but they never slowed me down to the other golfers were great. Again perfect weather and it was like having the course to myself. Its a very nice course with some very long and challenging holes. I had a ball.

What a great place. 4 groups let us through (unlike Meadiwbrook) and the course was most enjoyable. Our advice is...Try this course...You won't be disappointed.

Golf course in good shape although pace of play was slow and our tee time was delayed due to a local tournament being played that day. Because of that, I was given a voucher for nine holes for free for a future round. As an out of towner , I was unable to use this so I gave it to one of my playing partners. The course layout is good, the holes are long but don't really play that way. Most greens were reachable. Staff was friendly and apologetic about the delay.

I was really impressed with the course layout mainly using the Rapid River.

Each hole is unique and makes for an interesting and fun track.

Played here several times , can't beat it for the price.

Enjoyed the course. Driving range a little out of the way in the back. Not an overly difficult course, but great for most players.

The course is laid out around Rapid Creek, with many crossings.

Course was very busy so play was somewhat slow, but still finished in 4 hours

If you get to the course and you see the old lodge and the parking lot you don't believe there is a good golf course. Ambiente isn't appealing, but the course layout, especially at the new back 9, is great. Fairways and greens are well maintained.

It is worth the drive. I'd always come back kf I am in the area.

The Elks is a fun and challenging course for all skill levels. It is a par 72, not 71 like the site says. It has five par 3's which are very challenging. And five par 5's which are all reachable, and make the course fun. The front nine is more traditional, while the back nine is more grip it and rip it! The fairways are full and give you a chance to pick it or hit through it and take a divot. The greens are in great shape. Never too fast, but a lot of slope makes them challenging. I think the mix of par 3' and 5's is the highlight of the course and makes it a fun and enjoyable round.

I have played the course a couple times which helped. There are holes that require position left or right to have an approach shot.
Course was in great shape with the exception of #8, a par 5 playing as a par 3 due to flood damage from earlier in the year.
Challenging course without being too long.

the course is in beautiful shape despite having water issues all season. just had to play #8 as a par 3 instead of 5, and the rest was great golf.
