How Can I Play TPC Deere Run?
There are several affordable ways to play the host course of the PGA Tour’s John Deere Classic
Near Silvis, Illinois is TPC Deere Run, a 7,289-yard par 71 course made for shotmaking that has hosted the PGA Tour's John Deere Classic since it opened in 2000.
The course is built on the site of an Arabian horse farm replete with an easy-on-the-eye rolling landscape and the wood-lined Rock River. That allowed designer DA Weibring to create a course that encapsulates the natural beauty of the American Midwest.
Weiberg perhaps described the appeal of the course best, 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. What’s more, the natural features of the former Arabian horse farm high above the Rock River Valley have not been compromised.”
The John Deere Classic regularly produces low winning scores (around 20 under or better is not uncommon), but there are still holes that can provide plenty to think about on a course known for its doglegs, bunkers and lakes.
One challenging hole is the par 5 10th, which, as well as its considerable 596-yard length, also has a lake and a bunker, making going for the green in two difficult. Meanwhile, the picturesque 158-yard par 3 16th sits on a bluff above the Rock River, and two bunkers guard the green.
