TPC Deere Run course breakdown
Now that we know the layout of the golf course, what else makes TPC Deere Run a challenge?
The golf course does give up good scores, but a player has to hit a good shot to get the payoff. Accuracy does matter off the tee, and distance doesn't necessarily mean as much if the ball is not put into play.
The greens are not particularly challenging, but they are of decent size, particularly to deal with public play.
