Elkhorn Ridge - South Dakota - USA

Elkhorn Ridge is one of the true black hills golf experiences available to the public. Built into the side of a large hill, the front nine winds its way up the hill covering beautiful drops and canyons, as well as the occasional rattlesnake pit (not kidding). The par 5 6th is the signature hole, dropping nearly 150 feet from the back tee box to the fairway, which is surrounded by bunkers in the shape of elk hoofs. The back 9 was recently completed. While incorporating less elevation change, the back utilizes undulations and slopes to its advantage to create a cohesive feel and experience across the entire course.
