The new clubhouse at Palmer Hills Golf Course, Bettendorf, provides golfers with new, upgraded facilities, and offers a great location for breakfast and lunch in the clubhouse restaurant overlooking the 9th green.
The new Bettendorf Office Products/Evergreen Artworks opened recently along Middle Road, just west of the Glenroad Hy-Vee Food Store. The longtime Bettendorf business was located at Cumberland Square. In addition to office supplies and artwork, you can enjoy a cup of Starbuck's coffee (brewed in an official Starbucks vending machine).
Trees in Bettendorf's Pigeon Creek Park reflect off the calm waters of the Mississippi River. The park provides wintering habitat for bald eagles, and during summer months a wide variety of birds can be seen in the park woodlands and savanna areas. Click here for a walkabout video.
