The Golf Club at Devils Tower extends partnership with Landscapes Golf Management

Landscapes Golf Management landed a multi-year extension to continue operating The Golf Club at Devils Tower in Hulett, Wyoming, one hour west of Sturgis, South Dakota, and two hours northwest of Mount Rushmore.

Under the company’s leadership since 2013, the private destination club’s revenues have tripled thanks to significant lifts in annual dues and food and beverage. Improved membership marketing, refined course maintenance, a robust events calendar and revamped food-and-beverage offerings are main contributors.

“We were attracted to Landscapes based on its success developing the world-class Sutton Bay in South Dakota,” said Jim D. Neiman, whose family owns The Golf Club at Devils Tower. “Its team earned our trust to continue leading our operations well into the future.”

Growth in membership sales and revenues gave ownership confidence to build a new clubhouse, which includes a historic 1895 red birchwood back-bar from the Cowboy Bar in Belle Fourche, South Dakota. Restoration was completed and is the centerpiece of the new clubhouse 77 Steakhouse & Saloon.

“Local, regional and national members continue to rally around the serenity the club injects into their lives,” Landscapes Golf Management president Tom Everett said. “Devils Tower’s growth has also driven residential real estate sales and helped local businesses in the process.”

Located just eight miles from Devils Tower — America’s first national monument — the 150-acre Devils Tower has benefitted from its positioning as “where pure sport meets the spirit of the American west.”

Central to Devils Tower is the 18-hole, 7,111-yard, par-72 championship golf course renowned for its scenic beauty and challenge of skill and strategy. It is recognized among America’s and Wyoming’s top private clubs.

Phelps-Atkinson Golf Design routed the front nine through an open prairie while the back nine features more trees and awesome elevation changes. Water comes into play on five holes with only two requiring a tee shot over water. Bunkers are rough around the edges and lush fairways are framed by native grasses. Greens are smooth with beautiful backdrops. Holes 11 to 13 abut the canyon rim with clear views of the national monument in the distance.  The 457-yard, par-4 No. 17 is often dubbed “where good rounds go to die.”

Members and their guests fly into Devils Tower’s adjoining airstrip at Hulett Airport, colloquially known as “tarmac to tee in 10 minutes.”
