About Northern Links Golf Course
Northern Links Golf Course in Sioux Falls began as a family project: four siblings, all golfers, converted farmland that had belonged to their father into a course for the surrounding community. The course is approaching its 20th anniversary.
The siblings designed the layout themselves, aiming for a course that offers a challenge while remaining approachable for both adults and children, so that golfers of varying ages and abilities can play it together.
