Pierre's Hillsview Golf Course is still partially flooded and will remain closed the remainder of the year. City Park and Recreation Director Tom Farnsworth said yesterday that the hope is that the golf course will re-open next June. Pierre golfers have had a tough summer so far having to drive to other cities and courses for the chance to play. The Golf Club at Red Rock in Rapid City, Spearfish Canyon Country Club, Sutton Bay and Murdo all have special deals for Pierre golfers. And of course the Oahe Trails north of Pierre is still open. The Dunes in Ft. Pierre is closed but Cullen Deis, the owner of the course, is hoping to get the back nine open once again after he gets rid of the water that stood around after recieving 9 plus inches of rain last week.
