Newell Golf Course

Detailed description of Newell Golf Course

Newell Golf Course, is a Semi-Private, 9 hole golf course located in Newell, South Dakota.

The course first opened in 1968.

A wide-open course, Newell offers incredible views of the Black Hills, as well as historic Bear Butte.  Water comes into play on three of the nine holes, and the rolling fairways are reasonably wide, but bordered by thick native grass.  The small, dome-shaped greens reward accurate approach shots, and provide for challenging putts.

Par for the course is 36. From the back tees, the course plays to 2,980 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 2,648 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 2, a par-5 that plays to 496 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 4, a par-3 that plays to 172 yards from the back tees.

Watch out for # 3, a 403-yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. # 3's dogleg left fairway demands that you keep the ball in play, since the fairway is lined on both sides by out-of-bounds. The easiest hole at Newell Golf Course is # 8, a 471 yard par-5.
