Golf in Vermillion

Vermillion is the home of the University of South Dakota, the state's flagship liberal arts and law university, on the Missouri River bluffs in the far southeastern corner of the state. USD's Coyotes athletics, the law school, and the world-class Shrine to Music Museum give Vermillion an academic character that influences the community's cultural life and demographics. The Missouri River bluffs provide scenic views and outdoor recreation access, and the university's presence creates the kind of diverse, educated community that small South Dakota cities rarely achieve without an academic anchor driving both employment and cultural investment. The Missouri River bluffs south of Vermillion offer hiking and wildlife viewing that complement the university's cultural programming as outdoor amenities distinguishing the community.
