Disc golf in South Dakota
South Dakota ranks 32 of 50 states for disc golf infrastructure with 77 registered courses. Those courses reach 52 separate cities, so most residents have something within a reasonable drive. 62 percent are free to play, which is typical: the great majority of American disc golf happens on public park land at no cost.
The terrain mix here leans toward prairie/open (56 courses), followed by open/rolling (8) and mixed/varied (6). That matters for what you pack: wooded layouts reward control discs and accuracy, while open ones make wind the deciding factor. Our course types guide covers how each plays.
Of the 77 courses, 42 are rated beginner, 30 intermediate, and 5 advanced. New players should start on a beginner-rated 9-hole layout and move up once they consistently score within 10 strokes of par.
