This is an incredible course. Loved everything about it from all the holes, lines and basket placements. My only critique is there needs to be an actual line/pathway or groomed tunnel for hole 26 because it’s only groomed path is to another basket which makes it mildly dangerous. Also my advice for the course designers would be a nice knotted rope down hole 27 to prevent any injuries ESPECIALLY after it rains. If you are afraid of heights just skip hole 27 and walk back down from the road.

Beautiful technical course with some unique shot design and varying elevation. Community was super welcoming. Only played a few holes but Chad walked with me and was a blast to play a few holes with. Got a dope safari hole ace in the practice basket

An ABSOLUTELY fantastic MUST play course! Put on your hiking shoes, pack some water and enjoy this fantastic sport on this spectacular intermediate to advance course. Signage was very definitive (excellent pics and designs) and unique, tee pads are excellent for all types of weather and both course maintenance/baskets were in excellent shape. The elevation challenge is worth every step once to the top and the #27 basket finish is an excellent compliment to this fun, mentally/physically challenging, absolutely beautiful scenic course. For those with much appreciation for this game I'd recommend playing this top notch rated course on your way through the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota! Thank-you Spearfish, SD!
