Golf in Springfield

Springfield is a small Bon Homme County community on the Missouri River in southeastern South Dakota, home to a state education facility whose campus reflects the community's history as the former University of South Dakota Springfield. The Missouri River bluffs here provide dramatic views across to Nebraska, and the community's small size reflects the agricultural character of a county seat serving a sparse rural population. Springfield's academic history has given it an educational identity that persists, and the Missouri River's presence defines the town's geographic and recreational character. The community's state education connection has maintained institutional investment in Springfield that many similarly sized rural communities have lost to budget pressures over the decades.
