Links Corner Forum

I am posting a separate topic from Dakota Dunes Country Club.Arsenal Island Golf Course is a now closed golf course in Rock Island,Illinois since 2018 that the military ran.you can find a course layout on both Golf Advisor and Blue Golf for Arsenal Island Golf Course I will attach photos of the course with my post hoping to have someone design this course in the near future since this was a very nice course to play along the Mississippi River,Steve

I am attaching more files for Arsenal Island Golf Course would love to see someone do this course even though it is no longer open it would be a wonderful addition to Links 2003 Steve

Just a few more photos

I would love to see someone do this course it had good reviews and people enjoyed playing this course a wonderful view of the Mississippi River on the first few holes Steve

Just send me a pm if you would like to do this course would appreciate it Steve

Maybe someone could do this course and someone else could do the buildings and houses especially if there are any 3D buildings and houses part of the course Steve

Aside from the fact that the course looks like the average Muni, the big drawback I see is that the course is too short for Links! There are many mid-6,000's length courses that never get used in Tournaments because they are too short for the highly skilled Links players. I run two tours with a 4 round tournament each week for each of them, and I would never use a 6500 yard course. Players would slaughter it! They shoot low-50's scores on 7,100 yard courses. Sorry - it's a fact!

Couldn't the course be lengthened another 500-700 yards to play more like 7100-7200 yards I think Cypress Point was lengthened to over 6800 yards.

Funny you brought this course up because my best friend played golf for St Ambrose and raved about Rock Island Arsenal, sad to see this course close down.

This is why I would love to see thus course done for Links 2003 along with the course I have another topic on .
