BOULDER CANYON GOLF CLUB invites golfers

BY TIM POTTS BLACK HILLS PIONEER

Golf is supposed to be fun. Boulder Canyon Golf Club (BCGC) has always championed that belief.

Now entering its 75th year, the course offers a most welcoming experience, entertaining design, and an inspiring setting in the Black Hills.

Boulder Canyon is an 18hole, par-72 championship golf course, where play is open to the public and tests golfers of all skill levels. A spectacular layout provides stunning panoramic views from every tee box. As you walk the fairway, joking with your friends or following up your drive, take it all in. Immaculate greens, wild grass meadows and ponderosa pines lined up like gallery spectators. Play with nothing more on your mind than the beauty around you, your next shot, and having a great time.

Boulder Canyon Golf Club has the most convenient location of all the Black Hills golf courses. The setting is bound- ed by the Black Hills National Forest and is ideally located on US Hwy 14A in scenic Boulder Canyon; only a 10-minute drive from the legendary towns of Deadwood and Sturgis.

The back nine has continued to grow into one of the finest tests of golf in the Black Hills since its opening in 2018. In 2021, players welcomed over two miles of new concrete cart paths throughout the entire back nine; and said goodbye to the overhead power lines that ran across the sixteenth fairway. Last year, in addition to the newly renovated practice range, players enjoyed riding on newly paved cart paths on the entire front nine. During this past off season, the renovation of all bunkers on the course was completed with PGA quality sand. Dramatic modifications were also made to holes 16 and 17. These improvements will significantly increase the playability and pace of play of both holes.

This summer the club will also receive its new fleet of Club Car Tempo golf carts with full GPS and built-in bluetooth speakers. If you’ve never played, or just haven’t been to BCGC in a while, it should be on your must-play list this year. Complementing the golf course improvements, golfers appreciate a newly remodeled golf shop with the latest equipment, accessories, and fashionable apparel, and of course, the Boulder Canyon Sports Bar and Grill.

The Boulder Canyon Sports Bar and Grill continues to serve delicious, freshly prepared meals along with ice cold beverages. Come try the, “Best Burger in the Black Hills” and wash it down with your favorite beverage from the full-service bar including a comprehensive selection of liquors, beers, and wines. Open daily for lunch and dinner.

“Since my company took over the management of the golf course in 2021, we have invested $1 million in course and club improvements. We will continue making those investments each year to ensure our players have the finest golfing experience to be found anywhere in the Black Hills.” said Marlon McMakin, operator of the club. “Our staff provide a guest experience that is second to none. I want members to feel like family and non-members to feel at home.”
