South Dakota has good golf courses, skiing, snowmobiling, horseback riding, hiking, and biking among rolling prairies, pine forests, and granite mountain peaks like Mount Rushmore. Glacial lakes and Missouri River reservoir lakes provide great fishing, boating, canoeing, water skiing, and windsurfing. The whole family will enjoy this prairie land where grain growing begat roadside attractions like the Corn Palace in Mitchell. Everything made from corn, even the popcorn, tastes better here. Where buffalo roam, roadside diners serve up buffalo and luscious homemade fruit pies. Shop for good deals on cowboy boots on the same Black Hills and Badland Main Streets where cowboys and cowgirls outfit themselves. Be near the eroded buttes, spires, and prairie grasslands of Badlands National Park in Lead, Deadwood, Rapid City, Spearfish, Sturgis, Hill City, Custer, and other nearby towns. The whole family will enjoy watching for big game like bison, bighorn sheep, antelope, eagles, and hawks. Drive the one-hour Hwy 240 loop road, with a side-trip to Robert's Prairie Dog Town. Learn about the Oglala Sioux Tribe at the White River Visitor Center, which is near Wounded Knee. Tour the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site's Cold War nuclear silos, just outside the Park's boundaries. About 90 minutes west of Badlands National Park is Mount Rushmore. Lead, Deadwood, Rapid City, Spearfish, Sturgis, Hill City, Whitetail Springs, and Custer are also very near Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Custer State Park, Wind Cave National Park, and Jewel Cave National Monument. View Mount Rushmore from the aerial tramway in Keystone, which also houses the Borglum Historical Center celebrating the artist behind the sculpting of Rushmore. Take the kids to the Dinosaur Park in Rapid City. Attend Custer State Park’s Annual Buffalo Roundup and Arts Festival. Bedazzle the whole family with sparkling calcite crystals in 151-mile long Jewel Cave. Bison, pronghorn, and elk graze the grasslands of Wind Cave National Park. Central South Dakota has the state capitol, Pierre, in addition to numerous lakes along the Missouri River. Go fishing and boating in the rivers and lakes. Take the kids to the South Dakota Discovery Center and Aquarium in Pierre to see the state’s native fish. Drop by the Dacotah Prairie Museum along the James River in Aberdeen in the northeast to learn prairie history and natural history. Swing by Sioux Falls to see the USS South Dakota Battleship Memorial and special exhibits at the Old Courthouse Museum. Choose from among 10 golf courses in Sioux Falls.

Great Shots is bringing next level golf entertainment to your next day or night out. Enjoy a modern spin on golf by putting your skills to the test on our state-of-the-art driving range, eating and drinking with friends, or bonding with coworkers over friendly competition.
Fun family activity even if some in your party are not great golfers. Kids (or adults) need to be old enough to reliably hit a golf ball. May not be suitable for young children due to swinging clubs and teeing off from 2nd and 3rd story decks. Some of the games are setup so that beginning golfers have a chance to win. They have lefty and junior clubs (if you don’t bring your own). I would recommend bringing your own clubs if you are able. I would definitely take my family here again. Thanks for the fun.

An 8,000 sq.ft. indoor black light miniature golf experience that will ROCK you! 18 holes with a Rock n Roll theme. Fun for all ages. Also featuring Miner's Maze - an outdoor human maze adventure and Finder's Keepers Gemstone Panning.
Great place to spend an hour or so killing time. The mischief wheels at several of the holes made the game even more interesting. The facility is very clean and the staff pleasant and courteous

Awesome course! It has brand new greens as of 5 days ago. The course and landscaping look brand new. The owner is super kind and there is a single bathroom onsite. It’s $10 per person to play. It’s very clean and well maintained. We had a lot of fun! It doesn’t look like it would be as challenging as it is! It took a little thought and effort to make our way through. The other guests were very well spaced so there was plenty of room for distancing. Their is a plastic patrician between you and the owner when you pay. We felt very safe health wise. Don’t miss this place if you have an hour to kill in Custer!

You'll be screamin' Mulligans at Keystone's only 18-hole mini-golf. The Holy Terror Mini Golf course is nestled on the side of a pine-covered slope in Keystone. Named after the last active gold mine in Keystone, the course will have you “screamin’ mulligans” as you putt around gold-flecked boulders, up steep hills, down thru the mine slew, and around the water wheel and bubbling stream. A mini golf experience the whole family will never forget! Challenging, yet fun! The 18-holes meander more than 50 feet up a steep hillside, and then down again, unified by a gold mining motif and rushing water that flows from a watertank, thru sluices, over a waterwheel and into a millpond. They even have three kinds of artificial turf that simulate fairways, sand traps and rough.
