Fyre Lake Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Fyre Lake Golf Club boasts the only Nicklaus Design golf course in the Quad Cities. Water, grass, and sand were seamlessly combined to create a diverse and challenging course. The layout features winding fairways that snake their way through mature hardwoods and the lush emerald greens contrast beautifully with the lakefront setting. A variety of elevation changes come into play throughout the course. The rolling greens often have multiple tiers and they are usually also flanked by protective bunkers. In addition to the water, wind is another element that will challenge you on this layout. The final hole is a par 4 that plays from an elevated tee box. Fyre Lake Golf Club's hole bends sharply to the left, wrapping around a lake, and since it plays into the wind, getting the proper pin placement is quite a feat.

Frye Lake
We very much enjoyed our day at Fry Lake. Conditions were outstanding. Staff is great. Course is 35 minutes south of Davenport and a little out of the way so when we were there mid week, there were very few other people there. Clubhouse and restaurant also very welcoming. One recommendation would be to somehow make water available out on the course as we played on a very hot day with 100° heat index. Here in Denver they run somebody out with a cart around each nine to fill up water bottles.
Would highly recommend anybody in the area
Just the absolute best value in America
Love this place found it 2 years ago and I am always itching to get back and play- played it only 3x this year and that makes me sad.
Staff is so friendly.
Course is awesome - spectacular layout on the lake. Crew there works super hard to keep it in great condition even if the average golfer doesnt fix their ball marks place is still spectacular. Never been there when the greens didnt run at least 10.5 usually well above 11. Which is great.
Probably have played 10 x in 2 years and have not a single bad experience.
Biggest rip off in Illinois
Charging more than advertised price, fairways in terrible shape, cart path only on half the course...you find that out when your cart shuts off, I think Charging 4 dollars for a bottle of water is ridiculous
Recommend for single digit handicap Golfers only.
This course should be rated to be played by single digit handicap Golfers only. RJ
Section of course and condition
Weather was wet so that had an impact, biggest issue we noticed was a lack of a collar around the greens. This by design? Enjoyed the course and layout, staff was super friendly and helpful.
Pure test
Played a Fall scramble in 2023, this week was first time going back. Was fun in 2023 but could clearly see improvements that have been made in the short time. Pure fairways, most true greens you can find for the $$$, moderately tough but fair lies in the rough, and incredible views. Can tell the staff absolutely grinds to keep the property an elite golf experience.
Hidden gem. Perfect for a golf trip to show the fellas what small town IL golf can provide. Also, great burger at the turn.
bad bunkers hard and soft fairways all holes Jack would not be happy with the bunkers very poor
New Favorite
Can’t beat the scenery! The course isn’t easy but we had a blast. Will be back.
Josh and Lauren
We had a great time on this course. The golf was amazing. We met a very nice couple that play there all time. The conditions were perfect. The greens were tough but fair. Just enough water to be difficult, but fun. Excellent condition and the price was fair. Will definitly be going back.
Wow!
We played TPC Deere Run Sunday and played Fyre Lake Monday.
The course was wide open.
I prefer Fyre Lake than TPC Deere Run.
The course layout is great!,
You need a good strategy to attack this course.
Every hole has it's character and demands respect.
I would recommend this course.
BTW, bring your own sandwiches.
There is no food around the course.....
One of My Favorite Nicklaus Course
If I had not played Harbor Shores on the shores of Lake Michigan, this would be my favorite course by Jack! Almost every holes could be a signature hole of most courses!! The front 9 currently has no houses and the back 9 has them in several holes.
Course is worth the effort to play for the traveling golfer!
Gem of a course
This course was so much fun!! I can't wait to go back and play!! The layout is unique with challenges throughout the course, but also a fairness that makes it enjoyable.
Amazing course- best value anywhere
For 60 dollars you can play this course with a cart- its a 5/5 for me. Course is amazing- Nicklaus design - and I am not a fan of his courses but this one does it for me.
Course is immaculate condition- greens are amazing (2 weeks after punched and they are rolling great). Staff is super friendly. Club house could use some work but who cares I am here to golf. Its the best value to start with but even at $150 I would play this course- its so freakin good.
Played in 3 hours
Amazing Course!
Great layout
Great staff
Great condition
Pace of play too slow
Overall a must play!
Destination Kohler - Champions' Trail Golf Package
Cart path only half the course- love to know where there is not a cart path which hole?
This review is fake and golf now should take it down. Literally played 2x in last 5 weeks and I would say other than two greens that have some damage on their end which is very small cannot see as single thing to complain about. Fairways terrible shape- not sure which fairway this guy hit but would love to know which fairway was in bad shape.
