The Pointe Golf Course

About The Pointe Golf Course

This unassuming public track in rural South Dakota punches well above its weight, earning a stellar 4.6-star rating from locals who know good golf when they see it. Set in the rolling prairie landscape outside Sioux City, the course takes advantage of natural elevation changes that are rare in this part of the Midwest, creating interesting lies and strategic options that keep you thinking throughout the round. What separates The Pointe from typical small-town municipal courses is the attention to detail in both design and maintenance. The routing feels thoughtful rather than squeezed onto available land, and the conditions consistently exceed expectations for a public course in a town of fewer than 2,000 residents. Walking is encouraged here, which tells you something about both the layout's walkability and the old-school golf culture. At these green fees, it's the kind of hidden gem that makes you wonder why you're paying twice as much at flashier tracks that don't deliver half the enjoyment.
