Can I bring my own food and beverage to the course?

TPC Deere Run strongly recommends the use of metal spike alternatives and specifically prohibits the use of metal spikes at the facility. Alternative spikes are available in the Golf Shop.
How long should it take to play the course?
TPC Deere Run is rated at 4 1/2 hours. If there is a large group outing on the course, carts are restricted to their path or heavy wind is present, this time can be extended. Pace of play is strictly enforced. Slower groups will be monitored to ensure timeliness.
How hot does it get in the summer?
In Western Illinois our summers are humid with temperatures frequently reaching above 90°. Sunscreen and bug repellant are recommended in Summer months.
Are there caddies available?
No, we do not have caddie service available. You may bring a caddie and walk the golf course at certain times. Please check with the Golf Shop for further information.
What is TPC Deere Run’s cart policy?
Carts are included with your greens fee. TPC Deere Run features a 90 degree rule throughout the year with the exception of late June and early July for the John Deere Classic. Other days are deemed cart path only as needed due to agronomic reasons and we apologize for the inconvenience on these days.
Can I go in the woods and look for my ball?
Of course you can. Please be aware of pointy plants, loose rocks and the wildlife! As a general rule, if your ball is not in plain sight, you probably won’t be able to get a club on it. So, unless you are playing a heated match, take a quick glance and drop another ball. This will speed up play and make your round more enjoyable.
How does the course hold up in the summer?
TPC Deere Run is in great shape throughout the year, especially the summer.
