Golf in Wall

1 golf course in Wall, South Dakota.

Wall is a small Pennington County community on the edge of Badlands National Park, made famous by Wall Drug, which began advertising free ice water to travelers in 1936 and grew into one of the most extensively signed businesses in the world. The Wall Drug advertising campaign extends to billboards across multiple continents, and the store itself is a sprawling complex of Western novelties and food. The Badlands formations visible just south of town provide one of the most otherworldly geological landscapes on the continent, and the juxtaposition of tourist kitsch and natural sublimity is quintessentially South Dakotan. The Badlands formations visible from the course's higher ground create a backdrop of geological drama that most golfers encounter nowhere else in their lifetime of play.
