The Hart Ranch Resort Course, designed by Wyss Associates, Inc., has received recognition from the Great Plains Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects for the careful environmental planning that was part of the design of this outstanding golf course. The natural topography was used to determine the routing of the golf course and minimal amounts of earth was moved to create the golf features.

Golfweek magazine (03-01-2003) rates Hart Ranch the Number One Public Access Golf Course in South Dakota.
