TPC Deere Run named #1 you can play in Illinois by the PGA
September 1, 2011
Illinois is home to some of the best golf courses in the nation — public and private. What we wanted to know is which courses do YOU consider the best in the Prairie State — the kind anyone one of us could play.
Rank #1: TPC Deere Run
TPC Deere Run, Silvis, Ill. “Our goal was to build an old-style, traditional golf course and I think we’ve captured that,” says D.A. Weibring, PGA Tour course designer and three-time champion of the Quad Cities tournament on the course’s site. “We wanted to create a course that had memorable holes with dramatic views of the rolling hills and vistas.” Weibring did just that.
