Golf in Platte

Platte is the Charles Mix County seat in the Missouri River country of south-central South Dakota, serving the agricultural and ranching communities along the northern shore of Lake Francis Case. The reservoir's creation submerged historic Missouri River bottomland that sustained Sioux tribal communities and early settlers, and Charles Mix County has developed recreational infrastructure around the reservoir's shores. Lake Francis Case provides fishing for walleye, northern pike, and bass that draw anglers from across the region, sustaining a recreational economy alongside the county's agricultural base. The Missouri River reservoirs have reshaped the regional economy, and Platte benefits from the recreational tourism drawn to the lake's fishing and boating opportunities.
