The Quad Cities 50 within 50

We think this likely a great example of a market to do a quick hit, off the beaten path, high value 2-4 night golf trip. I visited my brother here years ago and played a few courses there and really enjoyed it.

We're not talking glamour coastal golf here. We're talking about great golf in the heartland of the Midwest. We love going places we don't know much about, discovering new, and getting a taste of the local flavor. In and out quick tho 3-4 nights max.

Googled "Quad Cities Golf" today and found this site All Golf QC . The site design is pretty rough but the info seems very current and here's their quick summary of the area:

"The Quad Cities is the "Golf Mecca" of the Midwest. In this area alone, Davenport, Bettendorf, Rock Island, and Moline, there are over 50 golf courses to play that will challenge even the most seasoned golfer."

I haven't done the research yet for the best tracks, but I remember playing some really nice daily fees, munis. and the PGA Tour John Deere TPC course Deere Run is right there as well.

If you're used to the really nice daily fee courses priced high like I am in NYC, the greens fees in the Quad Cities will feel like a total steal. Here's a local CVB listing of courses as well
