TPC Deere Run
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.”
