Golf in Anderson

Anderson is a small community in the eastern South Dakota prairie, in the broad agricultural landscape between the Minnesota border and the Missouri River. The surrounding farmland is some of the most productive in the Great Plains, where corn, soybeans, sunflowers, and wheat grow in fertile glacial soils deposited during the last Ice Age. The community's small size places it in the category of rural South Dakota towns that rely on the nearest larger city for commercial services while maintaining local identity through schools, churches, and community gathering places including the local golf course. The golf course's modest nine holes reflect this philosophy of self-sustaining rural recreation, providing a gathering point for farm families across a wide radius.
