The Rapid City Elks Lodge #1187 sits on Jolly Lane with something most private clubs never manage: a genuinely open door. With a 4.6-star rating across nearly 350 reviews, this lodge has earned its reputation the old-fashioned way, by showing up for the community year after year. The golf course draws players of all skill levels, the bar pours cold drinks without attitude, and the kitchen turns out food that reviewers keep calling delicious.

The outdoor patio is a genuine highlight. Guests describe it as beautiful, and on a clear Black Hills evening, it's easy to see why. Staff here get called out by name in reviews for being friendly, courteous, and attentive, the kind of service that makes first-timers plan a return visit before they've finished their meal.

Founded as part of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Lodge #1187 carries on a national tradition of community service while keeping things local. Events, fundraisers, and everyday gatherings all happen under one roof, making this far more than a place to grab a round of golf or a burger.

What We Offer

The lodge packs a surprising range of offerings onto one property. The public golf course is the headline act, open to members and non-members alike, making it one of the more accessible courses in the Rapid City area. Tee times, league play, and casual rounds are all part of the rotation.

Inside, the bar and grill keeps things lively. The menu earns consistent praise from guests, and the full bar means you can cap your round with something cold. The outdoor patio extends the experience when the weather cooperates, which in the Black Hills is more often than not.

Beyond golf and dining, Lodge #1187 functions as a full event venue, hosting everything from private parties to community fundraisers. Athletic fields round out the property for those who want more than 18 holes. Membership in the Elks opens additional benefits, but plenty of what this lodge offers is available to the public.

"This is just a gun place to hang out at. They have a beautiful outdoor patio, yhe good was delicious and the staff is friendly, courteous and attentive. I'm really looking forward to returning here when I have a little more time so I can play a round of golf. And although it is an Elks Lodge. It is open to the public. However, Elks members do receive a discount on drinks as well as golf so membership does have its privileges."

"This place is racist and it’s going to take a lot to change my mind. Decided to leave a review after my second visit and here’s how it went. First Visit Got to the golf course at 4:40pm and as we walked into the pro shop saw a pair of guys loading up their cart to hit the greens. Walked in and asked to play the first 9 and the guy said he can’t let people go out past 5pm but it was 4:53 and he just let the previous guy out 2 minutes earlier. Decided to go to the driving range and asked for a cart and he said carts had to be back by 5:15. Again he just let a pair out to play the range. So we had to walk to the driving range. After the driving range decided to get food and it mostly went alright but they forgot my fries and I didn’t mind because I had my cheese curds. Second Vist Played the first 9 and had a golf cart this time so that is fine. After playing got food inside. Problem #1 I was two of my friends and we all ordered, one burger and two chicken sandwiches. A few minutes later the lady came back and said they had to remake a chicken sandwich because it fell on the floor and it would be out a few minutes after the other food. It ended up being my friends and not mine. 3 minute later both their orders came out. I was confused on how his food came before mine when they had to remake his. Problem #2 Once again they forgot fries and I had to ask for them even though I made sure to tell the guy (Troy) I wanted fries Problem #3 I order food to go for my girlfriend, a chicken salad and cheese curds. It took 20 minutes for the food to come out which is ridiculous for a salad and cheese curds Problem #4 one I got home the salad this not have dressing on it and the cheese curds were way over cooked, who orders salad with no dressing? This place is absolutely racist. I’m not kne to throw that around but due to the fact that both times I was there with my white friends and all the wrong doing only happened on my end that’s what I am lead to believe. You can bet I will not be returning to this place."

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.
