Peter,

Either it is in a state park, a national monument, or both, but not a national park. Could be it is closer to the national monument than Devil's Tower course is to the national monument there.

Garland,

I've never been to Devil's Tower.  What's with this 100 mile crap? Did they photoshop the cover page on the website? http://devilstowergolf.com/

Depends on how you define "our" (from the thread title):

-- GCA's?

-- Jaka B's?

Certainly this would qualify as well:

Garland,

I've never been to Devil's Tower.  What's with this 100 mile crap?
Sadly, the nearest park to my home is Mammoth Cave.  Sad because back when I could fit I never visited.  Nine inch high tunnels, Really?  I did find the following profile of a course nearby.  Would love to meet J.C. Ramsey.

The 18-hole "Shady Hollow" course at the Shady Hollow Golf Course Facility in Cub Run, Kentucky features 6,100 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 71.  The course rating is 70.0 and it has a slope rating of 113 on grass.  Designed by J.C. Ramsey, the Shady Hollow golf course opened in 1997.  J.C. Ramsey manages the course as the Superintendent.

Thanks John,

I'm sorry guys, I typed Club Run into mapquest. Eye surgery after Kings Putter. That will do the trick. Then I will have no excuses.

9 miles as the crow flie from DTGC to the Tower.

Is the Presidio golf course in the park?

Volcano Golf Course, in Hawaii, is in the park.

Langston GC is in Anacostia Nat. Park, DC.

Following on Jim's lead, Glacier Park Golf Course is in the park. However, nearly all the nearby golf courses are on the other side of the park.

Langford's Gatlinburg CC at the gateway to the Smokies covers some hilly terrain and features 3 consecutive par fives routed through narrow valley floors, followed by a huge drop-shot par three.  Haven't played it in 30 years and I believe it has been renovated if not ruined.

Ruined / raped.  The greens were destroyed in the recent renovation by bob cupp Not a huge fan of Mr. cupp.

I've been to Yosemite, Olympic, Mt. Ranier, Rocky Mountain, and Zion.  Golf was about the last thing I wanted to be doing.  Our National Park system is one of the top 10 best reasons why I love being an American.  I hope to visit them all before I die.

That said, distance is relative.  Rocky Mountain National Park is 90 minutes from LoDo Denver.  

And forget Yellowstone.  Grand Teton Nat'l Park is as close at 20 minutes in most places from all of the golf in Jackson, WY.

The only couse I have played in a National Park in the USA is the Wawoma Golf course in Yosemite NP. Fun classic old course but not much on conditioning. Jasper is a great course but in Canada. I do not think any of these others are in a US National Park in all due respect. There are tons near national parks like in the Teton area of Jackson Why.

Probably the leader in the clubhouse is Zion National Park, which is a fantastic park by the way.  Been there a couple of times now.

All of these are 1/2 hour at most from the main entrance to Zion:

Coral Canyon
Sand Hollow
Entrada
Sky Mountain

I agree completely with this list, with Sand Hollow being the clear leader and Sky Mountain being the best value. Entrada is a fun, but very difficult course that is blessed with beautiful surroundings as half of the courses is routed directly through black volcanic rocks. Coral Canyon has gone down hill over the plast couple of years, but is worth a play if you can find a deal.
