Golf in Custer

Custer is the oldest town in the Black Hills, founded in 1874 during the gold rush that followed General Custer's expedition. The community sits at the heart of the Black Hills' most spectacular public lands, surrounded by Custer State Park's bison herds and within easy reach of Crazy Horse Memorial and Wind Cave National Park. Custer's authentic western character and its avoidance of Deadwood-style gaming tourism give it a more grounded identity among Black Hills communities, and the surrounding national forest and state park create a natural playground of extraordinary richness and diversity. The Crazy Horse Memorial's ongoing progress, visible from multiple vantage points, provides Custer with a continuous artistic and cultural narrative unique among South Dakota towns.
