Crow Valley Golf Club's Par 71 championship golf course is its crowning glory. The layout stretches 6,715 yards through rolling hillsides. Crow Creek meanders through six holes. Four man-made ponds come into play on four holes. Sixty-three strategically located bunkers are impeccably maintained. More than twenty varieties of trees line newly converted bent-grass fairways and greens. A state-of-the-art irrigation system keeps the grass in excellent condition. A halfway house is centrally located by the sixth, eleventh and fifteenth holes.
Crow Valley's golf course is indeed one of the most beautiful and challenging courses in the Midwest. The course layout offers 5 sets of tees to accommodate all levels of golfers. The slopes range from 120 to 133 and the ratings range from 67.8 to 73.0.
Ease of access by its members and pace of play are what set Crow Valley Golf Club apart from most private clubs. With a voting member limit of 260, there are no tee times, and the pace of play is consistent with - and often better than - the regulation 4-hour round.
The course was designed by the noted Denver golf course architect, John N. Cochran and built by the prestigious Wadsworth Company of Chicago. The first round of golf was played on Memorial Day in 1970. In September 1971, Crow Valley Golf Club was the first home to the Quad City Open (now known as the John Deere Classic) for three years.
