Golf Club at Red Rock

Ron Farris's 2003 Golf Club at Red Rock, DB field crediting Ken Alperstein is stale; the architect of record is Ron Farris. A 6,900-yard par-72 layout routed through dramatic elevation changes in the foothills outside Rapid City with links-style bunkering and USGA-specification greens. One of the most visually striking public courses in the northern Plains. The course stands out for rarely-seen elevation variety, far-reaching Black Hills vistas from nearly every tee, with up-and-down holes that reward mid-iron control from awkward stances. The links-style bunkering differentiates Red Rock from more conventional prairie golf in the Dakotas, and conditioning stays sharp through the summer season. #1 Public Golf Course in South Dakota by Golfweek for 12 consecutive years, one of the longest state-level streaks on the Golfweek lists. Pair with Hart Ranch for a two-course Black Hills weekend and you've got the best of SD public golf.
