Golf in Volga

Volga is a Brookings County community northeast of Brookings in the eastern South Dakota agricultural landscape, positioned in the productive grain farming belt between Brookings and Watertown. The community's small commercial district serves the immediate farming population, and Volga functions partly as a bedroom community for some Brookings and Watertown workers who prefer the quieter pace of a smaller town. The surrounding open farmland and the prairie sky of eastern South Dakota create the characteristic landscape that defines outdoor life in this part of the northern Great Plains. Volga's small scale and its agricultural setting create the kind of community where the golf club is known by name by nearly every resident, regardless of whether they play.
