Routed through a water-carved valley next to the Mississippi River, Davenport Country Club is an underrated Midwestern classic. This C.H. Alison design, recently renovated by Ron Forse and Jim Nagle, uses the creeks and ridges of its property in a fascinating variety of ways. And just wait until you see the 7th hole. Andy Johnson and Garrett Morrison talk about Alison’s strengths and weaknesses as an architect, and how he uses sloping fairways and tilted greens to make Davenport an interesting, challenging golf course.
