Hidden Valley Golf Course, Brandon, SD

This is a great and fun 18 hole par-3 course. It would be ideal for new golfers and especially for kids. The longest hole is 152 yards. The shortest hole is 70 yards. There is one bunker which I didn't even see the first time around, one pond, and few trees. It is really compact and easy to walk although they do have carts available. Tall prairie grass separates the holes with paths cut through to the next tee box. I think the prairie grass was kind of neat and was a clever way to separate the holes. Perhaps the toughest hole is #7. You shoot to a big, wide green but the reason the green is so wide is because there is a big, wide tree on the front edge right in the middle. That makes it a challenge on how to attack the hole--straight on, draw, fade or hit the tree and hope your ball drops onto the green. They have a punch card program--play 5 rounds and get the 6th one free.
