Rustic Ridge Golf Course

The rolling prairie terrain west of the Quad Cities serves up legitimate elevation change that's rare in eastern Iowa, with several holes playing dramatically uphill or downhill through mature hardwood corridors. The par-4 seventh demands a blind approach over a ridge to a green that falls away on three sides, while the closing stretch features back-to-back par 3s that test every iron in the bag. This daily-fee track punches well above its weight class with conditioning that rivals many private clubs in the region.
