Course Description
The tee box is well above the basket on this hole.  The fairway drops off in three different level on its way to the green, which is surrounded by both overhanging branches and a large row of tall pines on the right side.  The row of trees on the first level in front of the tee do a great job of protecting the basket from the front.  You must get your shot over those trees and still be able to drop it in under the branches of the next row  of trees.   Tee off from well below the level of the basket.  The fairway is defined by a few large trees, and goes back up the hill over three levels.  The pin sits next to a small tree just short of the crest of the hill.  Be carefull of the walking paths!  They are out of bounds!   The tee for this hole is just to the left of a large tree (just out of the picture).  The basket is across the road and on the crest of the hill.  It is hidden behind the tree on the left, but is in line with the light pole.  The big tree on the right near the top of the hill overhangs the fairway and forces a good shot to reach the pin.  This hole can be easily birdied with a good hyzer shot from the tee.
Hole 1 tee
Hole 2 tee
Hole 3 tee
  The basket for this hole sits just to the right of a small tree and on a small flat with a large down slope to the front.  The hill behind the basket is great to use as a backstop for your approach into the green. The walking path curves just out of the picture under the basket.  It's out of bounds!   The basket sits on the crest of the hill across the road from the tee box.  The hill slopes off on three sides and makes for a challenging putt.
Hole 1 basket
Hole 2 basket
Hole 3 basket
Tee off from a slightly angled tee area and get your disc under the overhanging branches of the trees in the center of the fairway.  The large pine just at the top of the hill on this side of the ravine will eat your disc if you throw it in there!  The basket sits at the top of the hill across the large ravine.   Very tight around the tee, with the pine tree next to the tee on the right side along the fenceline.  The large spruce on the left narrows the line even more, and add the large trees in the fairway across the ravine and this makes for a very tough shot to get near the basket.  The hill slopes heavily toward the parking lot on the right.  End up there and you're out of bounds!   The signature hole for this course with a great view of the river and Iowa side of the Quad Cities from the tee.  The tee sits on the top of the hill near the upper parking lot.  The basket is beyond the trees in the picture, a level below the road, and guarded by a pair of large trees.  Play it safe and go to the left of the trees near the road for a nice approach into the basket, or go out over the road to the right, over the trees and drop your drive down near the basket.  End up on or across the road to the right and you're out of bounds.
Hole 4 tee
Hole 5 tee
Hole 6 tee
The basket sits just short of the crest of the hill across the ravine from the tee.  The slope is extreme and the basket is guarded at the top by the large pines.    The basket sits in the open with just the slope of the hill to challenge you.  It's easy to get a bad role on this green.  Go past the basket too far and you'll go over the edge of the hill out into the street, which is out of bounds!   The basket sits well below the level of the tee and a level below the road.  It is on the flat but is guarded by the two large trees.  The pin is reachable from the tee with a good drive.  Watch for the sidewalk past the basket, it's out of bounds.
Hole 4 basket
Hole 5 basket
Hole 6 basket
Slightly uphill shot through a wide open fairway.  The basket is to the right and just short of the big tree in the center of the picture.  Use the hill behind the pin to help hold your disc near the basket. (The basket to the right of the picute is hole #6's basket!)   One of the best holes on this course!  The basket is above the tee area centered in the group of trees just to the left of the road.  To get to the pin, you can try a big overhand shot over the first set of trees and hope it drops down through the next group and near the basket.  The other option is to throw a big hyzer out over the road and skip it into the green, between the trees.  This may be the best way, but it's not without risk.  Stay on the road, hit a tree and bounce back onto the road, or land across the road and you're out of bounds!   The trees just in front of the tee all but eliminate any sort of overhand shot, and forces you to keep your drive low.  The two trees along the walking path narrow the line even more. The fairway falls off the the left as it nears the basket, so your drive will tend to move left as it slows down.
Hole 7 tee
Hole 8 tee
Hole 9 tee
The green slopes down and to the left on this hole, and for right handed players it's easy for your disc to slide away in that direction on landing.  The slope behind the pin is a great way to hold your disc near the bakset.   The basket is surrounded by trees with a lot of top cover, so dropping a shot in from above is tough.  The green is slightly sloped away from the road. Get a shot in through the trees, and make that big putt!   The green slopes gently to the left on this hole, and the basket is guarded by one larger tree.  Easily reachable from the tee with a good drive.
Hole 7 basket
Hole 8 basket
Hole 9 basket
The basket for this hole sits on a line between the telephone pole and the last tree.  Th branches of the trees on the right hang out into the fairway and lowers the line, while the walking path on the left narrows the fairway near the basket area.  Across the path is ok, but on it is out of bounds.   The tee area sits close to the road on the left.  The line to the basket is between the road and the the row of trees on the right.  Low branches really lower the line into the landing area, and the walking path turns and runs right through the center of the fairway.    A great birdie hole.  Key is to get your drive over the short wall near the green so you have a chance at a good putt.  The tee and basket are at the same level, but the bowl between the hole and the tee makes it appear to play longer than it really is.
Hole 10 tee
Hole 11 tee
Hole 12 tee
The basket is on flat ground and sits in the open.   The basket sits just short of the crest of the small hill, and the two trees on each side of the pin challenge putts from those sides.  Go past the basket and land on the walking path can cost you a stroke.   The green is sloped and surrounded by trees on three sides.  Low hanging branches around the basket challenge longer putts.  The walking path is just out of the picute on the right and is out of bounds.

Hole 11 basket
Hole 12 basket
Very narrow window to get your drive through off the tee.  The basket sits at the top of the hill with a steep slope.  The slope falls off to the left to the sidewalk and road below.  Big pine trees on the left can grab your disc and make for a very tough putt into the basket.   This view from the tee shows the narrow windows you must get through to get to the basket on this hole!  The two rows of trees in front makes you decide where you want to try to land your drive in order to set up an approach into the basket.  Go to the left side where the line is a bit wider, and leave your drive higher up on the slope where you can't see the basket .  Go straight off the tee and try to get your disc to turn slightly to the right where you can see the basket from the landing zone.  Be carefull on the right side of the fairway.  There are trees on that side that can come into play, as well as the walking path and the road that runs right along the edge of the fairway.   Two ways to reach the basket from this tee location.  Throw an anhyzer to the left of the tree just in front of the tee pad, and get it to slowly fade to the right and up to the basket.  Watch for the slope of the green under the pin.  It slopes to the right rather steeply towards the road.  The other way to reach the basket is to use a big hyzer shot to the right of the tree and bush just beyond it, skipping your drive off the road and up the hill to the basket.  Be carefull with this shot.  Stay on the road or go off the the right side of the road and you're out of bounds!
Hole 13 tee
Hole 14 tee
Hole 15 tee
The basket sits at the top of the big hill on the edge of a steep slope.  Room above the basket to land your shot safely.    The basket is in the open, with just the small tree on the right that can come into play with an approach or putting line.  The slope here is gentle, but on longer approach shots into the basket area can make the basket appear closer than it really is.   The basket sits in the open, but the slope of the green around the pin is rather steep and can certainly affect your putt and/or landing your shot around the basket. Go down the hill into the road and you're out of bounds.

Two ways to reach the basket from this tee location.  Throw an anhyzer to the left of the tree just in front of the tee pad, and get it to slowly fade to the right and up to the basket.  Watch for the slope of the green under the pin.  It slopes to the right rather steeply towards the road.  The other way to reach the basket is to use a big hyzer shot to the right of the tree and bush just beyond it, skipping your drive off the road and up the hill to the basket.  Be carefull with this shot.  Stay on the road or go off the the right side of the road and you're out of bounds!   The basket is easily reached from the tee, but a coupl things can get in the way here.  The tree on the left of the fairway reaches out enough to make you through a hyzer into the basket area, but if it doesn't turn properly it's easy to end up in the street on the right.    Great finishing hole!  Tee off from the bottom of the hill, and try to get your drive in a position where you can reach the basket with your second shot.  Two approaches for setting up that second shot here.  Go to the right and try to get your drive to drop far enough up the side of the big hill on the right where you can reach the pin.  It's the shorter route, but the footing on the side of that hill can be tough!  Go more to the left and try to get your drive to land far eough up the flatter side of the fairway to be able to reach the basket on the next shot.  The fairway is more flat there, but it's still angled, and makes for a longer second shot.  The basket sits near the crest of the next large hill.
Hole 16 tee
Hole 17 tee
Hole 18 tee
The basket sits in the open, but the slope of the green around the pin is rather steep and can certainly affect your putt and/or landing your shot around the basket. Go down the hill into the road and you're out of bounds.   The basket for this hole sits just on the crest of the small hill that leads down to the road on the right.  Putt from the left side of the basket and run it past the pin and it's easy to end up on the road.   The basket sits just short of the crest of the big hill behind  the first hill.  The slope is steep, especially to the left side of the basket.  The pin is guarded on the left side by a large tree.  Tough footing for longer putts, and it's easy to get a bad role on a missed putt.  Good luck!
