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.

Incredible Golf Course!
This was my first time playing here and I will definitely be back as soon as possible! If you haven’t played Fyre Lake I would definitely give it a shot. It’s a beautiful course with an awesome layout!
Gorgeous course, lacking amenities
This is a fantastic course with a great layout. Classic Nicklaus design—target golf. Well maintained and from what I understand, has been wonderfully restored since the ownership change. The only knock was a lack of amenities—no ball washers on course, no beverage cart or water coolers, driving range was closed (understandable this time of year), small practice green and an underwhelming clubhouse (possibly temporary?). For the price, it was well worth the trip. Would play again!
KS Duffer stops in IL for 18
A jewel in Quad Cities area. Can see they have built expecting big things to come in future. Grounds crews visible and busy, greens great shape, fairways clean, rough was tough, and balls placed outside of fairway do not waste your time looking. Technically there is no clubhouse for use yet other than a couple of double wide trailers tied together that appear to be temp structures. There is a nice building near by sited by name for the golf course but appears not used. No water on course nor ball cleaners, yardage markers hard to find. Range finder highly recommended.
Best course in the QCC
Hands down. The best course in the quad cities and overall it was perfect. Greens and fairways were in too shape and the course itself is a challenge. Views were spectacular and I can’t wait to play again
Fyre
What a fun course to play. I found the layout kept getting better as I played. Beautiful layout . Green we’re in great condition and true.
Two and half hour from my house. But well worth it.
Course in better shape
The tees, fairways, greens, rough back to being what a Nicklaus design course should be. Sand traps still need sand. When that is done the course will be worth a high green fee. Glad to see the conditions have improved.
Beautiful course
Really enjoyed this course. Got stuck behind a slow foursome but they let us play through on the back and we flew through.
Hidden Gem Found!
Wow never knew this place existed found it today - $65 steal of century. This course is a Nicklaus (usually not a fan) but its amazing- every hole was awesome. Every hole I said wow this hole is great. Conditions are great. I am in the area often and have never heard of it. Glad I found it can't wait to play it again. I love Spirit Hollow and TPC (other local courses) this is better than both which I did not think I could say.
Enjoyed our round
Enjoyed our round. The course was very challenging and fun. Course was in great condition. The young woman that checked us in was welcoming, professional and knowledgeable Only negative is a few holes on the back nine were littered with goose droppings and made the greens unplayable.
Overall, great experience and value. I’d play again
Fabulous Fyre Lake
Finally made a return trip to Fyre Lake since pre-covid and it was well worth the drive. The course is in great shape despite the drought we’ve been having. I look forward to playing it again soon!
Amazing Links Course - good challenge
First time playing and I really enjoyed the course. It’s really difficult but it’s really fun.
