Scott Hoffman design in South Dakota approaches completion
Seeding and sodding work on the Scott Hoffman-designed course for the new Mapleton Golf Club in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, is almost complete. The course is expected to open by early autumn of 2025.
One of the primary characteristics of the course will be its wide bentgrass fairways, with expanded areas of fairway cut around many of the greens. “The fairways are wide so playability is great off the tee but angles and using the slopes, which are definitely prevalent on many holes, will dictate approaches,” said Hoffman. “The greens are slightly larger than average, with some great variety in shapes and slopes, making very interesting hole locations but also offering terrific diversity for day-to-day play. The tees are not formal boxes but more of a fairway look that continues into where the fairway would normally start.”
