Guests have the opportunity to see and interact with the herd of approximately 36 bison by signing up for a tour. “The experience allows visitors to get remarkably close to these iconic animals while learning about the ranch's history and heritage, making it one of the most memorable activities available at the resort,” said Burr. Reservations can be made for the morning tour at least 24 hours in advance, and run June through September on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Other amenities include a resort-style swimming pool and hot tub, pool bar, basketball and pickleball courts, playgrounds, walking and biking trails, and a large lodge with a coffee bar, gift shop, and convenience store items. “During the summer season, we regularly host live music, social gatherings, and local food trucks near the pool, creating opportunities for guests to relax and connect with one another,” said Burr. Recognized as a Top Public Golf Course in South Dakota , the Elkhorn Ridge Golf Club is also on site with a modern 18-hole championship layout. The front nine is nestled on the side of a mountain, giving views of Centennial Valley, while the back nine winds through Polo Creek Canyon . PGA head golf professional Mike Mendelson says the high quality golf facility offers a laid back atmosphere for golfers of all abilities. “My favorite holes are ones that feature the beauty of the northern Black Hills and our pockets of forest—holes four and eight, and Canyon holes 12 through 15,” said Mendelson. Golf professionals are there to offer club fittings, swing analysis, and repair services. Need something? The golf shop has items available to purchase in person or online.
