Dunes Golf Course

Dunes Golf Course is in Fort Pierre, the Stanley County seat across the Missouri River from Pierre. The course name references the sandy terrain along the Missouri's western bank, where the river's shifting channels have deposited sand and gravel creating terrain unlike the clay-heavy eastern prairies. Fort Pierre's frontier history — the site of multiple fur trading posts and a significant Native American trading point — gives the community historical depth, and the golf course serves the combined Pierre-Fort Pierre community on both banks of the river.
