Annual Events Include: 

  • The Jamie Hill Golf Tournament held every August at Palmer Hills Golf Course
  • Senior Golf Cart Tours held the Monday before Memorial Day and the Monday of the week following Labor Day. The free tours begin at Palmer Hills Golf Course and travel along the Duck Creek Recreational Trail. The tour travels west in the spring and east in the fall. Register for your space online at www.bettendorf.org/register.


How Can I Contribute to the Friends of Bettendorf Parks Foundation?

To grow the Friends of Bettendorf Parks Foundation's ability to support programs and improve recreational facilities, an endowment fund has been established with the Quad Cities Community Foundation. The endowment fund is entirely separate from City control and provides a permanent vehicle for charitable contributions and financial stability for the foundation and its activities. 

For more information on making a gift to the endowment, contact Kimberly Radcliff at kradcliff@bettendorf.org, or call (563) 344-4011.
