Golf in Groton

Groton is a Brown County community in the northeastern grain belt east of Aberdeen. The surrounding landscape is some of the most productive agricultural land in South Dakota, where fertile glacial soils support corn, soybeans, sunflowers, and wheat production. Groton serves as a modest service center for surrounding farms, and its position along the old Milwaukee Road rail line reflects the railroad's role in opening the northeastern South Dakota agricultural frontier. The community maintains its character as a small agricultural service town sustained by the prosperity of surrounding farming operations. Groton's agricultural service role makes it a regular stop for farm families from across northern Brown County who come for supplies, medical appointments, and recreational golf.
