The Mount Rushmore State of South Dakota is situated in the Midwestern region of the United States. With a population of less than one million people living within its 77,000 square mile territory, it’s one of the least densely populated states in the country. South Dakota is probably most famous for the Mount Rushmore National Memorial that was carved out of the granite rock of the Black Hills near Keystone between 1927 and 1941, hence its adoption as the state nickname. The
has been organising competitions for golfers in the state since 1921. In the modern era, it’s now responsible for overseeing the golfing activities of over 100 clubs, from Lemon Country Club in the northwest to Dakota Dunes in the southeast of the state.
For a decade, Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay’s 1991 design at
was undoubtedly the top track in the state then along came a couple of new courses in 2003 to shake things up a little at the top of the rankings. Both the Ron Farris-designed
course in Rapid City and Graham Marsh’s
layout near Agar are fine recent additions to the golfing landscape in South Dakota with the latter, in particular, now gaining deserved national recognition. Our

Prairie Green
Located in southern Sioux Falls, the Prairie Green Golf Course is the best of three terrific public layouts that are operated by Dakota Golf Management.
Southern Hills Golf Course
With half a dozen par threes on the scorecard, it&s no real surprise to learn the Southern Hills Golf Course at Hot Springs measures just over 5,900 yards from the back tees.
Meadowbrook
Host to the US Women&s Amateur Public Links Championship in 1984, Meadowbrook Golf Course is a 1970s David Gill design that brings the waters of Rapid Creek into play at a handful of holes.
The Bluffs
Situated just a five-minute drive from downtown Vermillion, The Bluffs Golf Course is an upscale public facility that&s been serving golfers since 1996. With water in play at seven of the holes, the layout needs to be treated with respect.
Hillcrest Golf & Country Club
The course at Hillcrest Golf & Country Club is a semi-private facility that&s been welcoming golfers onto its fairways ever since it first opened in 1953.

> Wall (South Dakota)
is probably known best to cross-country travellers for its main attraction, Wall Drug. Advertised on gigantic billboards for hundred of miles to the west and east on Interstate 90, the gargantuan drug store has put Wall on the nation's map. There are also Wall Drug signs all over the world telling how many miles to Wall Drug.
Wall is on Interstate 90 just north of the

, 207 10th Ave (one minute from Wall Drug), ? . 9AM to 5PM daily from May to October. Informative displays feature photos, text, graphics, music, models, and an audio tour describing the exhibits. This narrative museum tells the unforgettable stories of the 1890 massacre of up to 300 Lakota men, women, and children at Wounded Knee Creek. The museum's gift shop features books, Indian gifts, and self-guided tour maps to the massacre site.

, 510 Main St (main exit off the interstate), ? . 6:30AM-6PM daily. In 1931 the store's entrepreneurial owners, Ted and Dorothy Hustead, had the brainstorm idea to give away free icewater for passing motorists. They started to put up signs and billboards along the highway with the distance to Wall Drug. These signs have been spread around the world and to extreme polar reaches. It is joked that based solely on the billboards, future archaeologists will probably consider Wall Drug to be the most important building on the North American continent. From this seed of signs and billboards grew the tourist attraction that Wall Drug is today: giftshops, museums, restaurants, and of course the original drug store.
