Military Appreciation Week
Davenport Public Golf Courses will provide free green fees to anyone with a military ID from May 12 - 29, 2012, as a kickoff for Military Appreciation Week in the Quad Cities. The free green fees apply to the three public courses in Davenport - Emeis, Duck Creek, and Red Hawk. "It's our way of honoring the service men and women of our country," said Troy Evans, Superintendent of Revenue Facilities for Davenport Parks and Recreation. "We hope that the military members of the Quad Cities take full advantage of our three great golf courses".No increase in golf fees for 2012
We've held the line with no increase in fees for 2012! That's right, green fees and cart fees for this year are the same as 2011. We've also improved our rain check policy for this season.
Davenport Parks and Recreation is dedicated to constantly improving our three courses and keeping costs down to create the best golfing experience for our customers. We've made some great improvements to our courses, added a Player Card and an indoor golf range. So get those clubs shiny and head out to your favorite course.
Player Card
Our new Player Card works like a credit card, only with a 10% bonus! Money added in multiples of $100 to the card is good for green fees and cart fees. Minimum purchase is $100, but you'll get $110 to use on the card.
Purchase at the River's Edge, 700 W River Drive in downtown Davenport during normal business hours. Hurry though, the 10% bonus may not last forever.
