I will be traveling to Davenport, IA for business and was wondering which of these courses anyone has played or if anyone knows which are the best courses around here.

I've played:
Middle Park (http://www.amctrl.com/cgi-bin/DiscGolfPage.cgi?id=116http://www.amctrl.com/cgi-bin/DiscGolfPage.cgi?id=116) and think it's great. Pretty much on par with with the best Peoria has to offer, IMO
Devil's Glen (http://www.amctrl.com/cgi-bin/DiscGolfPage.cgi?id=114), worth a stop. Pretty place.
Camden Park (http://www.amctrl.com/cgi-bin/DiscGolfPage.cgi?id=56), also worth a stop. Interesting pin placements.
Reports from West Lake Park (http://www.amctrl.com/cgi-bin/DiscGolfPage.cgi?id=128) have been exceptional.
I guess the ones not to miss are West Lake and Middle.
Middle Park is great. Lots of fun with some nice elevation changes and water. West Lake Park very challenging and a good chance of losing a disc. I didn't have the opportunity to play, but did walk the course. A good course for the top pros, will work all aspects of your game. Eastern Park is okay, long from the long tees. Water on a number of holes, should try and play with a partner, good chance of losing a disc. No elevation changes. Overall a great area to go and play disc golf.
Middle Park is probably your best bet, depending on how much time you have. It's tough, but you can have a fun round.
It's hard to have a casual round at West Lake Park. With all the water & rough schule, mistakes will make a round less enjoyable. Currently there are no tee pads or signs, so without a guide it will be VERY hard to follow. That being said, this course is nothing short of awesome, & when the tees & signs are installed it will be a must-play course. For everyone.
I agree with Kurt's other assessments, too, Devil's Glen & Camden are very nice. Prospect Park in Moline is worth a try after you try the others.
The courses there are solid. Something like a Buffalo Grove with maybe a little more elevation change. Overall, I think you'll be pleased.
