Secret golf course in Southern Black Hills. Beautiful, and challenging!

First, the good... This is a beautiful course and is well-maintained. We have a group of college friends in our 50's who have been getting together to golf once a year for the last 15 or so years. (Lots of fun and no seriousness.) Our group has good golfers and not-so-good golfers in our group, so we play best ball to move faster and to be courteous to other golfers. We will let anyone play through. We have been to several courses all over the Black Hills and have always had a great time. We have been to the Southern Hills Golf Course twice with two bad experiences. The first time, we believed the course was open until dark, about 8:30ish. We were on the 7th hole at a little after 7:00 when the lady from the clubhouse came out on a cart yelling at us that we had to get off the course because they were closed, and she wanted to go home. We had just driven our balls off the tee, and she wouldn't let us go get our balls. Well, after a few years, we decided to try again. We called and explained our group. Eight women, pretty slow, but we do best ball so that helps. They said that we were welcome. The lady in the clubhouse was great and again confirmed that we were ok to be there. We had two groups of four, and on one hole we were somewhat together (easy to do with best ball because you just need one in the second group to get a great shot), and so we all hit to the green. The first group putted and then the second group putted. The course marshal was following us, and told us we couldn't all be on the green together. We explained that all eight were not putting at the same time, and that we were golfing separate but we would not let that happen again. We were actually trying to speed things up. He seemed OK with that, but then proceeded to follow us literally parking beside us the entire rest of the time we were there. He also was talking to the foursome behind us, and at about the third or fourth hole, they came up to us and were very rude about how slow we were. We told them that they can golf through if they want, and so they did. It turns out that they were not faster than us because we then waited at every tee behind them. That was ok with us... it gave us a chance to take pics and visit with the other group of four. There was only one other golfer who golfed through. He was a single golfer who was playing very fast. Our time to finish nine holes, including waiting for the group in front of us was about 2 hrs and 45 minutes. That was slow enough to warrant having a course marshal escort us the entire day. I think the message here is that this course is for serious, good golfers only. Other courses we have golfed over the last 15 years, and some of them multiple times, that have treated us well and made us feel welcome include Belle Fourche, Lead Country Club, Tomahawk Country Club, Hart Ranch, and Ellsworth AFB. This course is very convenient to our friend who travels the furthest because she has family in Hot Springs, so we really had hoped for a better outcome this time.

Course is very well maintained and fun. The service however at the front isn’t friendly. Already expensive to golf there then they want a rider $20 fee for a child that is not golfing. Really disappointed in that.

Richard Trotter

In my opinion Southern Hills Golf in Hot Springs,SD is the most beautiful golf course in SD. The fairways are maintained in immaculate condition. The greens are in very good condition and the views are spectacular. The course was was voted the best 9 hole course in the country before they added a back 9 and in my opinion the course is definitely one of the best 18 hole courses in the country now. Play it, you'll be glad you did.

Love this Golf course, my favorite in the Black Hills. The entire course is in great shape, the greens roll very true. Playable for novice and serious golfers alike. We play Southern Hills every year, look forward to it each time.

Spent the week in the Black Hills and looked for courses to play in the area and this.one looked the.most scenic, it was! Even saw a few deer during.my round. Price was a little high but course was in great condition. Greens were firm but receptive, rolled true and not too fast. Fairways are tight, greens are small. Some tee boxes could be fixed (leveled), cart paths need some work. Would have liked a more detailed scorecard, yardage to bunkers or landing areas would be helpful for first time visitors. Found myself teeing off with my 3 & 5 woods, my driver would go through the fairway even when I was cutting the corner. Other than that I enjoyed my round at Southern Hills.

Ian Mathews

Great golf course. Not terribly long but can be extremely tricky when deciding what to hit from the tee box. Greens have some sneaky hole locations with a ton of unseen break in the putts.

Robert Skrobecki
