Duck Creek Park and Golf Course is located on the east side of Davenport, Iowa, United States. The property was originally a private arboretum[1] south of Duck Creek. It was developed in the 1930s as a public works project during the Great Depression.[2] The 211-acre (0.85 km2) park features picnic shelters, tennis courts, playground, a public golf course and Duck Creek Lodge.[3] The Stampe Lilac Garden and Gazebo is a popular location for weddings.[4] The park connects with the Duck Creek Parkway.

The golf course is an 18-hole, par 70 course.[1] It is a 140-acre (0.57 km2) course and is 5,759-yard (5,266 m) long. The course features mature trees and rolling hills. An automatic drainage system was installed in 1994.
