Fyre Lake Golf Club

We are a group of four guys. We pick a different course each month throughout Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and a few courses in Arizona in March. We have golfed 97 rounds on 91 different courses. There is even a green jacket involved!

I can tell you that out of those 97 rounds, this was the worst treatment we have ever experienced in terms of professionalism by a golf staff member. We believe it was the Superintendent / Head Groundskeeper. It was not the clubhouse staff. They were friendly. Looking back, we wished we would have taken the time to use it as a teaching moment for this hothead. This would have meant pulling him aside and sharing a little more about how you communicate with customers. I work in the Agribusiness sector and work with ag marketers, business unit leaders and even agronomists... and we just don't treat people this way. Maybe this person is going through a difficult time in his life or was just having a bad day, but that is zero excuse for the EGO and word selection that was used toward our group. (Apparently we had gotten off three feet to the right of the cart path on one particular hole and weren't aware of it being a restricted area)

At the time, we had a friendly money game on the line and we did want to finish our round. So, we apologized and moved on.

I own a few different businesses and if one of my employees ever spoke to customers that way, I would remove the employee from the situation and in private, terminate them the same day.

Out of principle, we just wouldn't play this course again.

Amazing course.

We’ll be back, so many great holes!

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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

Really enjoyed this course. Got stuck behind a slow foursome but they let us play through on the back and we flew through.

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. 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
