Parking lot is in a Ford dealership, that's pretty unique.

Pros:

Sturgis DCG is 9 baskets in a field. Some slight elevation to contend with but the wind potential will be your biggest obstacle. Not a shorty 9, I recall throwing distance drivers and a couple of Firebirds off the tee. Grass was cut, teepads were concrete and the baskets were a fine DGA something. Navigation was super easy, basically a clockwise loop around the field next to the dealership, below the dog park.

Cons:

Not a single tree on site.

Other Thoughts:

It was a first for me to park in an auto dealerships lot to play a round of discgolf. But I am grateful for Scott Peterson and his sponsorship of the course. Was happy to stretch my legs and throw some drives after driving the Spearfish highway and back down through Lead and Deadwood. The Black Hills is a fun destination if you haven't heard.

Pros:

+Nice big concrete tees. One of them is circular and is the tee for two holes.
+Nice DGA Baskets
+Great use of the available elevation. Plays on the side of a small valley.
+Some fun basket locations. 1 is blind. 2 is down a big hill. 4 is on top of a mound, 5 is on the side of the hill.
+Signs are informative enough for this course.
+Some ace run opportunities.
+Good chance for practice rounds or to teach new players.

Cons:

-Very open, I can't remember seeing a tree.
-Could be terribly windy here on the edge of the hills.
-Could lose a disc in the longer grasses/sage.
-Not a ton of variety in tee shot length, after a few rounds they might start to blend together.

Other Thoughts:

+Thanks to Scott Peterson Motors for putting in this course and dog park on their land.
+This course is ok. Not bad, not great. Lots of better courses in the Black Hills. The best is Spearfish DGC just up I-90. After that, Pageant Hill in Custer and Jackson Park in Rapid City.
+The designers used this land well. Not much more they could do with this land. Maybe a few trees could be planted to try and shape the future of this course.
