Rocky Knolls Golf Course in Custer, South Dakota occupies a magnificent setting in the heart of the Black Hills, surrounded by the ponderosa pine forests and granite formations that make this region one of America's most scenic outdoor destinations. Custer is ideally positioned between Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer State Park, and Wind Cave National Park — making Rocky Knolls a natural addition to any Black Hills itinerary. The course winds through the forested hillside terrain of the Custer area, with the characteristic rocky outcroppings and mixed pine woodland that define Black Hills golf. The cool elevation of the Black Hills — around 5,300 feet in Custer — provides comfortable summer playing temperatures even during July heat waves. Wildlife is an ever-present companion here, with mule deer, wild turkeys, and occasionally pronghorn visible from the fairways. Rocky Knolls is a modest but genuinely scenic course that captures the essence of Black Hills golf at community prices.
Rocky Knolls Golf Course has served the Custer community as a public recreational facility in one of the Black Hills' most historically significant towns. Custer was the site of George Armstrong Custer's 1874 expedition that confirmed gold in the Black Hills, triggering the gold rush that transformed the region. The city that bears his name has evolved into a tourism hub, and Rocky Knolls has served generations of both locals and visitors drawn to the area's extraordinary concentration of natural and historical attractions.
