Golf

It is an established, challenging, but golfer friendly 9-hole course, with watered greens and fairways.  The Lake Waggoner Golf Course has become a very relaxing and enjoyable outing destination for many area families.  Come join us!

 Rodeo


People in the community enjoy roping and rodeo. TheseRodeo_web sports reflect the community's agricultural roots. The city has a lighted rodeo arena with grandstands and chutes for various events. In the summer of 2010 Philip hosted the Fourth Annual Invitational Matched Bronc Ride that brought many nationally ranked cowboys to our area to entertain huge crowds of people from all around the Philip area.   During the summer months the local roping club meets several times a week at the Philip arena to practice roping skills.

 Lake Waggoner

 Softball


For adults, the city has a softball league with games in the evening about five times a week. People in the community play other teams within the community as well as teams throughout most of Western South Dakota. Both of these leagues are supported by volunteers, sponsors, and local businesses, and are a good example of the community cooperation in Philip. The Night Owl is a featured tournament that is played every year in Philip, which brings teams from all over the state to compete in an all night, all day, double elimination softball tournament. If you have a team interested in participating, please call Trace O'Connell (605) 685-3099 for more information.

 Baseball


During the summer months, a popular sporting activity is playing baseball and softball. The city has lighted baseball and softball fields and the best dirt infields in the state. For children and young adults there is a summer baseball league. Children can begin playing baseball around six years old and can continue to do so until they are seventeen. The Little League Baseball Season is gearing up for another season. Please contact Amber Rush for more information (605) 859-3351 on how your child can participate.

 Swimming Pool



The City of Philip Swimming Pool will be closed for the 2010 season.

We will be constructing a new zero-entry pool this summer and ask for your cooperation during the construction.

Please use caution and supervise children closely when visiting the HCYW Kiddie Park and other areas around the pool.

 

Have a good summer & see you in 2011!!!
