Emeis Golf Course
About Emeis Golf Course
Emeis Golf Course is an 18-hole layout in Davenport, measuring about 6,500 yards and playing to a par of 72. Set on 155 acres of gently rolling ground along the city's western edge, the course occupies former farmland, and hundreds of trees planted roughly half a century ago now frame and shape the holes.
The course opened in 1961, marking the occasion with an exhibition match between Arnold Palmer and Gary Player. It hosts the Quad Cities Amateur and accommodates league play, with both 18-hole and 9-hole rounds available. Ron Thrapp serves as the golf professional.
