The longtime pheasant hunting destination is adding an 18-hole Craig & Coyne course, a 12-hole short course and a short-game area.
Landscapes Unlimited and sister company Landscapes Golf Management have been selected to guide the transformation and addition of an 18-hole championship golf course at the Lazy J Grand Lodge in Ideal, South Dakota.
Under a new Lazy J Sporting Club brand, Lazy J will convert to a private destination club with the planned par-72, 7,216-yard layout designed by Craig & Coyne that is scheduled to start construction soon and open in summer 2027. The natural topography is rife with rolling hills, dramatic ravines, elevation changes and waterways. The course will feature creative greens, naturalized bunkers and short walks from greens to tees.
