Golfers have excellent options for a funday on the green. Edgebrook is the public municipal course and features a fleet of modern golf carts with shot distance tracking and quiet electric motors. The fairways are maintained to near-pristine condition, offering a smooth and scenic round for every golfer.
With its fun but challenging layout and steady improvements, Edgebrook is a go-to course for anyone who loves the game. The par-3 course offers a more casual experience. Hole 15 is a local favorite, known for its scenic view and the approach into the green beside the water.
Just outside the city, Brookings Country Club delivers the atmosphere of an exclusive course while welcoming all golfers. Known as “South Dakota’s Finest Course,” this 18-hole layout has been a Brookings staple for over a century, celebrated for its rich history and prestigious atmosphere.
With meticulously maintained greens, tee options from 4,800 to 6,800 yards and a peaceful lakeside setting overlooking Lake Campbell, the club remains among the state’s premier courses.
Together, Edgebrook and Brookings CountryClub showcase the best of local golf – beautifully maintained, rich in history and memorable for every level of golfer.
