Palmer Hills Golf Course | Bettendorf, Iowa

Looking for one of the best golf tournaments in the Quad Cities? Join community leaders, local businesses, Scouting supporters, and golf enthusiasts for the 2027 Illowa Council Charity Golf Tournament at beautiful Palmer Hills Golf Course in Bettendorf.

This fun-filled day of golf isn’t just about birdies, bragging rights, and great prizes—it’s about providing life-changing experiences for local youth through Scouting America.

Whether you’re registering a foursome, sponsoring the event, or joining us as a community supporter, your participation helps ensure that more young people can experience leadership development, outdoor adventure, character education, and summer camp opportunities.

Golf with purpose. Support local youth. Make a difference.

Why Support Scouting?

Every swing helps strengthen the future of our communities.

Funds raised from the Illowa Council Golf Tournament help provide:

  • Camperships for Scouts who need financial assistance
  • Outdoor adventures and camping experiences
  • Leadership and career development programs
  • Character-building opportunities for local youth
  • Access to Scouting for families throughout Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois

Scouting equips young people with the confidence, leadership skills, and values they will carry throughout their lives. By participating in this charity golf tournament, you are investing in the next generation of leaders, citizens, and community volunteers.

When you support this event, you’re helping ensure that cost is never the reason a young person misses out on the life-changing experiences Scouting provides.
