Detailed description of Westview Golf Course - Nine Hole

Westview Golf Course is a Public, 27 hole golf facility located in Quincy, Illinois. The facility has an 18-hole course and a 9-hole course.

Westview opened for play on Saturday, May 7, 1949. 

In 1946 and the Quincy Park District made a decision to build a course on rural 36th street. Charlie Clarkson was hired, who was the pro at Quincy Country Club at the time, to develop and build this new 18-hole golf course. Robert Glasgow was also hired to supervise the construction of the course. Clarkson did the majority of the original design work, while Glasgow took over the daily supervision of the construction. During this construction phase, Glasgow added many personal touches, such as large undulating greens and tree-lined landing areas, which still exist today.

The history of Westview would be incomplete without some information about Robert Glasgow. Mr. Glasgow was from Scotland and nearly everyone called him Scotty or Bob. Scotty was a professional in Steubenville, Ohio, before coming to Quincy in 1946. He was given full responsibility for the management and maintenance of the new course. During his tenure here, Westview added a third nine to make 27 holes in the 1963.
