Course Information
TPC Deere Run’s golf course is built on the site of a former Arabian horse farm. Course architect and former PGA TOUR professional D.A. Weibring masterfully used the natural, rolling landscape to create a championship golf course that stretches along the picturesque wooded ravines of the area’s famous Rock River. TPC Deere Run has been honored by Golf Digest, ranking No. 42 among the United States’ 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses. Golfweek Magazine has also ranked TPC Deere Run among the top five courses in the state of Illinois.
Since 2000, TPC Deere Run has been the home of the PGA TOUR's annual John Deere Classic. The John Deere Classic is held in July the week before the British Open and draws some of the PGA TOUR’s top talent. The tournament has served as a qualifier for The Open Championship and in 2005, Sean O’Hair’s victory at TPC Deere Run earned him a spot in the British Open during his PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year season.
