A local group of investors has purchased Spring Creek Golf Course.
The 126-acre, 18-hole course southeast of Sioux Falls was built in 1994 and sits along the Big Sioux River adjacent to Good Earth State Park at Blood Run.
It was purchased by Fore Score LLC, led by Dann Grevlos, who serves as managing partner.
“From the time our family first considered this opportunity, we’ve been committed to keeping the course public,” he said in a statement. “It’s the favorite course for so many golfers, and we wanted to maintain that accessibility. We’ve gathered a great group of local golf enthusiasts who share this vision.”
The South Dakota Parks & Wildlife Foundation acquired Spring Creek as a contract for deed by the original owners and developers, Spring Creek Country Club in 2015 and then leased it back with an agreement to maintain and the run the course. At the time, the thought was that the course could become part of the park.
The foundation’s board of directors “made the strategic decision to sell the golf course, ensuring that the property continues to serve the community while enabling the Foundation to focus on its core mission,” it said.
Proceeds from the sale will be reinvested to support future enhancements at Good Earth State Park and the surrounding area.
“Our Foundation is thrilled to announce the sale of Spring Creek Golf Course to Fore Score LLC,” said Patrick Wyss, board chair of SDPWF.
“Our intention has always been to preserve Spring Creek as an outdoor recreation asset for the community. While we are not equipped to operate a public golf course, we are confident that this sale keeps Spring Creek a vibrant recreational destination. The proceeds from this sale will be reinvested into the park system, especially Good Earth State Park, to benefit future generations.”
The deal was brokered by NAI Sioux Falls including brokers Gregg Brown, Bri Kacmarynski and Dennis Breske. It was partially financed by Plains Commerce Bank.
“We’re excited that we procured a buyer group of resourceful and entrepreneurial professionals committed to keeping the golf course public and accessible to all Sioux Falls residents,” Breske said.
Along with the proceeds from the sale, the foundation is planning to launch a statewide fundraising campaign to upport 28 unique improvement projects across 19 state parks. Projects include new visitor centers, indoor fish cleaning stations, amphitheaters, trail bridges and more.
“Our foundation exists to enhance outdoor recreation for future generations,” executive director Kristina Coby. We will continue to support South Dakota’s parks and wildlife, just as we have for nearly 40 years.”
