PAR 3 - 226 Yards

The ideal play from the tee on this hole is a draw from right to left. A slight miss to the right will still catch the hillside & kick those shots down towards the green. Be careful not to shoot at any pin that is tucked on the left-hand side as there is not much green to work with.

"The longest of the 3-pars on the course & the most picturesque. It's a modified Redan hole, wrapping up & around the right side of the fronting bunker. It plays into the prevailing wind (watch the treetops for swirling winds), so this hole will test the accuracy & shot making ability of the best players. Carry it to the green or carry the bunker on the right & let the ball feed down to the green off the mound."
--Course Architect D.A. Weibring

History

Moline is named for the French word moulin, meaning "city of mills." Until the early 1900s, lumber mills rivaled implement manufacturing as the Quad Cities' primary industry. The transportation advantages of the Mississippi River attracted German lumberman like Frederick Weyerhaeuser & his brother-in-law, F. Denkman. They launched their great lumber firm in 1860.

Huge logs from the north floated downstream with the help of steamboats. Once in the Quad Cities, they were milled, then shipped by rail throughout the US. As the Midwest's pine forests converted to farmland, Weyerhaeuser moved his company west for better access to the timber areas of Washington & Oregon.

The 7th hole, cut through a corridor of hardwoods, honors the area's rich timber heritage.
