Fish Lake Board
Welcome!
Fish Lake Country Club was founded in 1914 by local sportsmen from the Plankinton and Mount Vernon area, at a time when the state owned the land around Fish Lake. Later, the land was transferred from the Commissioner of School and Public Lands to the Department of Game, Fish and Parks. The Department allowed the 9 Hole course to remain and the state developed a game refuge around the course and lake. We remain as a 9 Hole course, just 3 miles East of Plankinton, South Dakota.
The membership continues to preserve Fish Lake Country Club as a place to enjoy recreational and social activities. Throughout our existence, we have strived to maintain a friendly, inviting atmosphere for serious and recreational golfers alike.
We pride ourselves in being family friendly, and we work hard to ensure our members and guests have a great experience. We are often asked how such a small club can maintain such a pristine course, and it is due to our devoted and talented greens keeping staff, as well as our members who volunteer time and talent to help as well.
Fish Lake Country Club, Board of Directors
