Golf in Quincy

Quincy is Adams County's dominant city and one of the Mississippi River's more prosperous and historically intact communities, situated on bluffs above the river near the Iowa and Missouri borders. The city's German and Irish immigrant heritage produced a downtown of remarkable architectural quality — Quincy has more properties on the National Register of Historic Places than any other Illinois city outside Chicago. The Lincoln-Douglas debates were held here in 1858, and the city maintains several antebellum mansions that reflect its nineteenth-century prosperity. Three golf options serve Quincy, from the par-3 Knights of Columbus course to the established Quincy Country Club, befitting a city whose population and economic stability have supported recreational infrastructure for generations.
