Course Description
This hole has a tight fairwaiy, with the short basket tucked to the right at the top of the hiill across the ravine.  The middle and long pins are in line through the narrow landing zone across the ravine.  Carefull or you can end up fighting out of the woods or down by the bike path!   The short and middle pin locations are easily reached with a shot through and under the two trees gaurding the tee. The long position (tucked up the hill to the left in the trees!)  will require a lay-up or a gutsy toss down the middle with a big hyzer.   The tee is positioned so the tree on the right can come into play. The short (center bottom) and long  (top left) pin locations are reached fairly easily, with the middle location to the right at the top of the hill will require a good anhyzer shot for a duece!

This is the view of the long position.  The parking lot (out of bounds!)  is just out of view to the right.  The landing zone is narrower than it appears in the picture!   View of the middle position.  It can be reached with a quality shot, but this pin location at the crest of the hill can create a putt that is a great risk/reward decision!   The middle pin position  is tucked in among the trees and has a fast landing zone, so putt with care!

The fairway is narrow as it nears the gaurding trees on the right, with the street to the right and the drainage culvert to the left out of bounds.  The middle and long positions are guarded by trees and a walk bridge.   The tee is located so the tree overhandging the tee and the one to the rightof the fairway can come into play when trying to reach the short pin.  The short pin location is up the hill to the right between the trees, and the long pin location is over the crest of the hill tucked into the next set of trees.  It's further than it looks!   A great tee location that requires a shot under the overhanging branches and between the trees.  There is more than one way to get to the holes, depending on what shots you prefer.
Hole 4 tee
Hole 5 tee
Hole 6 tee
The short pin location is fairly open with just the street on the right to be aware of.   The middle pin location is in the open, but careful with your drive!  Be sure to get over the crest of the hill and stay out of the weeds at the bottom of the hill to the left.   The middle pin location is guarded by trees, with the weeds at the bottom adding to the challenge.  The short and middle pin locations have fast greens!

The tee is positioned with a tree directly in front!  Curl an anhyzer shot to the pins, or take your chances skipping a hyzer shot through the trees to the right.   The longest hole in the Quad Cities, it requires a bit of planning.  Depending on which pin location is in use, you may want to play from the top of the fairway or the bottom where its flatter.  Footing on the side of the hill can be a challenge on the longer throws.  Remember, through the trees and into the next fairway on the right is out of bounds!   This fairway can be a challenge! With the tree to the left overhandging the fairway forcing a lower drive, and the street at the top of the hill and through the trees on the right out of bounds, it narrows the line.  In order to reach the long pin in two shots your first drive needs to be long and straight.
Hole 7 tee
Hole 8 tee
Hole 9 tee
The middle pin location is positioned between the large trees.  Mostly open, but run a putt past the basket and you could be in the parking lot!   The "B" pin location is tucked to the left and is guarded by trees on three sides, with the road behind.    The middle pin location is fairly open, with just the treeline to the right to consider.  It does sit atop a small rise that can make you think about your putt.

The short and middle locations aren't long, but are fairly guarded by the trees to the left and the creek on the right.  The long pin position is across the creek.    This tee shot is narrow and key to success on the hole. Get through the narrow gap off the tee and position your shot so you can get your second shot to the basket.  Stay out of the shule on the left near the middle of the fairway.  It takes away your chance to get to the long pin position to the right in two shots.    The first of the wooded holes on the course, this fairway is narrow but straight.  Stay in the fairway or fight your way through the trees.  All three pin locations are duecable if you hit the gaps.
Hole 10 tee
Hole 11 tee
Hole 12 tee
The middle pin location is tucked next to the creek with the trees behind it. Choose the risk/reward shot that suits your game for the long pin position across the creek. Go for the green and risk  ending up in the creek, or lay-up and take and take an easy par.   The short and middle pin positions are on the left near the tree line.  Watch for going past the middle pin location and stay out of the creek!   The short pin location is fairly open and can be reached in one shot.  The long pin location uses the same line as the short, just longer.

Another tight fairway to all pin locations.  All three pins are duecable, just hit one of the many lines through the trees.    One of the holes that give this course such great charactor! Tight fairway off the tee with several small trees to throw between.  Play under the downed tree for the short pin and over it to reach the middle and long pins.   This hole is a challenge because of the length to the middle and long pins down the hill by the ball diamond, or hitting the gap into the woods to the left. Your drive from the tee will decide how you score on this hole.
Hole 13 tee
Hole 14 tee
Hole 15 tee
The long pin location is tucked behing the huge oak tree in the center of the fairway.  Hit the line off the tee and get your drive to the big tree for an easy duece.   To get to the short pin play under the tree.  Go over it to get to the middle and long pins!   The long pin location is tucked into a gap between the ball diamond  and the woods.  Go long right and put the fence into play, or use the small hill to the left to keep your disc near the pin.

Well defined lanes to get to the pins, but get off line and be ready to fight out of the trees.  Make a good tee shot and duece all three pin locations.   Narrow and tight right off the  elevated tee!  The middle pin position is to the left through the small opening into the trees.  The short and long positions are around to the right towards the road.   Wide open off the tee, the challenge for this hole comes around the greens.  Stay out of the ball diamond on the long (right) pin position.  It's out of bounds!
Hole 16 tee
Hole 17 tee
Hole 18 tee
The middle pin location is to the right and is protected by several small trees and bushes.  Stay short of the pin for easier putts.   The short pin location takes a good anhyzer from the tee to reach for a duece and is guarded by small trees.  the long pin is around the tree line to the left, towards the road.  Make a good tee shot or fight your way to the long pin!   The short pin loation is guarded by several small trees and bushes.  The street is out of bounds on all three pin positions.

This course has it all! A great mix of long and shorter holes intermingled with a variety of terrain, including wooded areas, water hazards, and varying elevations. The first nine holes are located on the north side of the creek. Hole ten plays along the creek, with two pin locations on the north side, and the long pin across the creek for a great risk/reward situation. The next few holes run through the woods on the south side of the creek.
