TPC Deere Run

I primarily play public courses in the Chicago area, and TPC Deere Run is worth a day trip from that area for an outstanding round of golf.

Course conditions in early September 2023 were near-perfect. The rough is what I'd call "tournament length" so be ready to get punished if you spray your shots off the short grass. Combining that with the usual places to lose balls (woods, water hazards, tall grasses) I do recommend that players bring an extra set of golf balls.

The clubhouse is fantastic, and don't pass up the opportunity to shop for some swag at the pro shop. Locker rooms are much better than average public courses. TPC staff was polite and attentive, including starters, course marshall, front desk and cart staff, as well as the restaurant servers. Food was a bit slow coming out of the kitchen, so if you're in a rush they have an expedited menu of hot dogs, etc. There's a halfway house at the turn if you prefer to grab and go.

I recommend you arrive early before your tee time to partake in the practice area, which features an outstanding driving range, two putting greens, sand traps, etc.

The course doesn't have yard markers, but does offer front/middle/back numbers from some sprinkler heads. If you're a tech user (watch or rangefinder) it's not an issue. If you are a purist, I highly recommend you buy their yardage book.

A course that's worth the trip.

We take a yearly golf trip and TPC Deere Run did not disappoint. From the moment we got to the course we were greeted with great service and conversion, amazing facilities , a knowledgeable starter and a course Marshall who kept the pace of play. We ate at the course restaurant after the round and were met with the same high quality experience.

The course it was everything we hoped it would be…Great layout, perfect fairways and greens, great sand in bunkers. The course difficulty was fine yet fair. Although none of a shot lights out, we will definitely be back for another round in the near future.

Thanks again to a great experience to the entire staff. This is a must play course if you’re ever in the Quad Cities Area!

There were no people or carts to be found, we had to walk the property to find and employee to let them know. The course was beautiful but the lack of no service was very disappointing. The round took over 5 hours as the pace of play was terrible, we did no see any Marshall on the course to let the foursome in front of us to pick up the pace. This was supposed to be a special outing as our foursome was all my brothers flying in to play the TPC and due to the lack of service it was an disappointing round.

From the time we arrived until the taillights left the gate, the staff was courteous and helpful. I gave four stars on course condition only because it was in "post tournament recovery." Great layout that's dutifully challenging but rewards good play. I would say for even good golfers, a few sleeves of balls is a good idea...the rough eats em like candy! You will not be disappointed at TPC Deere Run!

An excellent course and see why it is a championship course. Amazing staff and difficult challenging course and greens. Beautiful scenery and very well maintained and even areas closed to help before the tournament were given ways to still hit your ball. So glad I was able to play it.

Great conditions, challenging but fair. Tee boxes offer a fair play for every skill level. Greens were in great shape and rolled true. Wish I lived near by I would love to be a member.

TPC Deere Run is a beautiful and challenging course with its rolling hills, strategic bunkers and multiple water hazards. The course was fun to play but the day we played the entire course was cart path only. This is not a course that you want to walk. With its undulating rolling fairways, walking to your shot was very tiring and exhausting. The carts could use a GPS system too.

I was lucky enough to play here a few times this year, every time it was awesome. The course is in amazing condition with great views. The staff is extremely courteous & helpful. More importantly they are always beyond pleasant to deal with. Overall the course & the experience is phenomenal!

Obviously, being the home of a PGA tournament, the course is phenomenal. I was also very impressed with the how friendly the staff was. There are so many munis in the area where the staff always seems grumpy, not here though. I would highly recommend playing here if you ever get the opportunity. It’s a more costly course, as it should be, but with TeeOff you’re able to get a very reasonable cost. Great value!

Wonderful course… staff extremely helpful and friendly. Pace of play actually a bit too fast. At times felt like being rushed

The course was great except the rough was ridiculously high. The Open tournament would not be that high. Could not find a ball in it. Otherwise it’s a great track.

This is a must play course. Mint condition, excellent facilities and beautiful views.

I really like the layout of the course! The negatives for the day were the wind with gusts up to 20 mph, seemed like it was very steady anytime I was playing into it which magically seemed like all the time in the long par 4’s.

I had no choice but to play them as par 5’s!

Rough was extra long as well due to the rain the area had received lately. To top it off some areas of the fairway were being repaired to prepare for the tournament I would guess.

None the less I like the layout of the course and feel if I were playing without the constant wind I would have more opportunities to score. Looking forward to playing on a calmer day.
