Golf in Oacoma

Oacoma is a small Lyman County community across the Missouri River from Chamberlain on the I-90 corridor in central South Dakota. The two communities function as a unit around the I-90 Missouri River crossing, serving travelers and the local agricultural community. The Missouri River here marks the traditional boundary between East River and West River South Dakota, where landscape and culture shift from eastern farming to western ranching. The Dignity sculpture on the Chamberlain side and Al's Oasis on the Oacoma side are recognized stopping points for millions of I-90 travelers. The commercial strips along I-90 in Oacoma serve the enormous tourist traffic heading to the Black Hills each summer, providing economic sustenance distinct from the surrounding agricultural economy.
