History
Land was purchased in Henry County in 1962, and construction of the Pete Dye design, 18-hole golf course began in June of 1965. Play began on the course on May 21, 1967. The course featured tough par 4s, reachable par 5s, and green designs that would test your short game. The clubhouse was completed September 1, 1968. Significant changes were made to the course in the late 1970s, when the club began its 24-year run hosting PGA Tour events, which included the Quad City Open, the Hardee's Golf Classic, the Quad City Classic, and the John Deere Classic. The tees were moved further back, bunkers were added, and the driving range leveled to make it the finest practice facility in the Quad Cities.
