This Course offers not only an incredible Golf Course and History, but it also offers an incredible story of its background, years of construction and the people that used to be part of this land.
Thanks to the TPC.com Website, we are able to read and learn all of these incredible stories about the TPC Deere Run Golf Club.
Among all of those incredible stories and people that were part of this land, we learned that there were some Native American settlements, farming, coal mining and also one of the top horse and cattle breeding programs in the country.
"It is hard not to be moved by the fact that Erskine Wilson was building his stone house and farm on this land at the very same time a man living 70 miles upstream named John Deere was starting his plow company, at the very same time the communities that would become the Quad Cities were incorporating. Participants in the course design felt that it was important for every visitor to understand the historical significance of this piece of ground – and so they named each hole on the course after the land’s rich heritage" ).
