Ymca Golf Course

About the club

The course is open for the 2016 season. This is our 13th year operating and managing the LaCroix Links Golf Course and 12th year of programming with our youth golf program, The First Tee of Rapid City. The course is located at 3820 Odde Drive in Rapid City.Following the course improvements that were done in 2013, we will again be working hard to make the YMCA LaCroix Links Golf Course a nice place to enjoy a round of golf. The fairways, greens and tee boxes were in great shape last year partly due to the improved irrigation system, and we look to build on these improvements this summer.As for golf... the LaCroix Links course is a 9-hole short course. Eight of the holes are par 3’s with distances from the shortest length of 85 yards to the longest at about 170yards. With the course improvements of 2013, the addition of a par 4 hole playing at over 260 yards from the back tees. And to make it more appealing, the addition of 4 sand traps to the course presents even more challenges.Then there is FootGolf... playing golf with a soccer ball? Imagine playing the golf course from the regular tee boxes to a flag 170 yards away, but with a soccer ball. Yep, FootGolf is a marriage of golf and soccer, played just like a regular golf course with pars and birdies and keeping score just like golf but instead of golf balls and clubs, you play it by kicking a soccer ball into the hole with the least amount of kicks. Come out and try this new sport, it looks like a lot of fun, and you don’t have to carry around that golf bag.We will again be offering open golf, open FootGolf, youth lessons through The First Tee program, youth golf tournaments, and of course fun on the greens for all ages.
