Elkhorn Ridge is in a residential development off I-90 at exit 17 between Spearfish and Whitewood.

The golf course is over a large tract of land on either side of the Interstate with a blend of holes along the wide, open prairie. In contrast, others move through the forests with significant elevation changes, providing scenic views of the Centennial Valley. The front nine moves over the side of a mountain while the backside is along Polo Creek Canyon overlooking the Frawley Homestead. There are five sets of tees overall, with the middle tees playing to 5,920 yards,68.6/122, and course/slope ratings, designed by Patrick Wyss.
