Highland Springs Golf Course sits on a rolling 200-acre tract in Rock Island, Illinois, where limestone bluffs overlook the Rock River valley. Designed by architect Bill Langford in 1923, the layout retains its original character while incorporating later modifications by Donald Brauer. The front nine climbs across open, park-style terrain, interrupted by a single creek that crosses the sixth fairway. The back nine descends into a wooded valley where mature oak and hickory line narrow corridors and two ponds guard the finishing holes. Bermuda and bentgrass fairways alternate with native fescue roughs, and the putting surfaces remain primarily bentgrass. Irrigation is drawn from an on-site well system, and the course is maintained without routine aeration, relying instead on frequent top-dressing and verticutting. The property borders the former Black Hawk State Park, preserving several stands of second-growth timber. Cart paths are asphalt and follow the natural contours, minimizing visual intrusion on the landscape.
Highland Springs Golf Course currently has (within 1 mile) no homes for sale. The average annual property tax for Highland Springs Golf Course is $6,280.77.
