Tomahawk Lake Country Club

Deadwood, South Dakota

Tomahawk CC is an open-golf, challenging par 36 made up of two par 5s, two par threes and five par fours. Players wind their way through the Black Hills National Forest around a large hill that is literally “crowned” by the layout of the course. The course rewards players for staying in the fairway but punishes those who wander slightly of course into tall, dense rough. Towering pine trees and a winding creek add additional obstacles for players lacking precision and distance control. Dramatic elevation changes often require players to club up or down at least two clubs from various shot locations.
