Golf in Rapid City

Rapid City is South Dakota's second-largest city and the gateway to the Black Hills, Mount Rushmore, and one of the most visited regional tourism corridors in the American West. The city's Museum of Geology, Dinosaur Park, and the Presidential sculptures along Main Street complement the nearby attractions of Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, and Custer State Park. Rapid City is also the commercial and medical center for a vast region of western South Dakota, Wyoming, and Nebraska, serving communities within a two-hundred-mile radius with specialized services and healthcare unavailable closer to home. Rapid City's diverse economy — tourism, military, healthcare, retail — creates resilience against the boom-bust cycles that affect more resource-dependent western South Dakota communities.
