Love the layout of this course

A perfect day for golf. Rapid City Elks course is in great shape for this early in the season. Great customer service and pace of play was perfect. This is a very challenging course especially with some tough greens. This is one of my favorite courses in the Rapid City area.

Great springtime golf

Everything is great for the course. Greens were dry and fast. Roughs are short and not hard to play out of. Absolutely beautiful weather. I didn't go into the pro shop except to check in. It is limited due to COVID. This has always been a great course for the intermediate player.

Hidden Gem

Shout out to Grounds Superintendent for the condition of greens at this hidden gem of a course. Was looking for an enjoyable afternoon to play after a week of driving to all the usual attractions in the Rapid City area. This course fit the need and then some. Will definitely return!

Short, Steady and Sweet

This course is not overwhelmingly long. But it can play tough if you miss the fairway wide. The greens, as always, are in great shape. Smooth and firm. A few holes on the back nine are a little too close to neighboring homes, which can lead to some awkward run-ins with irritated homebuyers (we got yelled at by an older gentleman for being too close to his yard while searching for a lost ball)! But, it didn’t hamper our day. All in all, it’s a wonderful course experience at a GREAT price!

Fun Course

Good course, with a nice layout and new driving address.

My only complaint was the staff added 2 players to my Tee time without notice.

Elks golf course

Liked the course, it was a little confusing finding your way around at first. Had nice long ,well manicure fairways, tight fast Greens. Lost a few balls in their hazards but all in all. It was pleasure to play.

Great layout and tough greens

Perfect day for a round of golf with a good friend. Weather was perfect and the course is in good shape. Greens are quite a challenge but love the challenge.

For out of town players

I played somewhat good on this course, first time here and Definitely be returning again for next year. Back nice is has difficult holes like the first par 5. Open field To out drive your friends and coworkers. Elevation tee boxes that can see the tops of the whole course layout when looking around. Dislike is would be the no beer carts driving around the Course. Updates on the golf shop is improvement. Overall fun event and be looking forward to play again

Perfect!

Thank you for a great afternoon of golf. We have not played a course that was in better condition in years (we’re from Texas). We have zero complaints except that we are headed to Yellowstone and won’t get to play again before we leave Rapid City..

Elks

Great course. Some of the players don’t understand that when you are a group of five and have a group of two behind you they need to be let by. Really slowed us down. But good course. Fun to play and challenging
