Illinois native, DA Weibring, laid out the course at TPC Deere Run on a former Arabian horse ranch and it has been the venue for the PGA Tour’s John Deere Classic since 2000.
Located in Silvis, Rock Island County, the course at TPC Deere Run lies on the north bank of the Rock River, where it operates as a member of the Tournament Players Club network of private and public golf facilities.
Designed by Illinois native D.A. Weibring, this layout has hosted the John Deere Classic since the year it first opened for play in 2000, with Paul Goydos posting the course record of 59 in the first round of this PGA Tour event ten years later.
Before the course was built, the 385-acre property had gone through a number of different uses – from farming to coal mining to horse and cattle breeding – and each of the holes have been named to reflect the rich heritage of the land.
D.A. Weibring has been quoted as saying: “It has all the things I think you’d like to have in a golf course. There are elevation changes, great views and scenery, hardwood trees. You have the Rock River complemented with small ponds and deep ravines… and best of all, there’s no real estate.”
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
