Southern Hills Golf Course is a rewarding, yet sometimes challenging course. We recommend golfers play from the appropriate tees to ensure they experience the most pleasure from their golf experience with us. Determining factors in which tees you should play include the distance in which you can accurately hit a ball, your overall golf ability and your golf handicap (if applicable).
Factors that should not determine which set of tees you play include your age and/or your gender.
Course Rule and Dress Code
Southern Hills Golf Course Rules
Say Hello First: Check in at the clubhouse so we know you’re actually here.
No “Fantastic Fives”: Groups of four only. We don’t have all day.
Keep it Moving: If the group ahead is a mile away, you’re officially the “slow group.” Pick up the pace!
Cuddle Up: Two people per cart. Any more and the wheels might give up.
Stay on the Beaten Path: Carts belong on paths and fairways. The rough is for your golf ball, not your tires.
Play Nice: No tantrums or club-tossing. We aren’t your parents, but we’ll still put you in time-out.
BYO-Nothing: Especially alcohol, the savings aren’t worth the Class 2 Misdemeanor (SDCL 35-1-5.6), and our jail definitely doesn’t have a golf simulator.
No Caddies with Paws: Leave your pets at home. They’re terrible at reading greens anyway.
