WEAVERRIDGE GOLF CLUB

The prairie winds that howl across central Illinois turn this Dick Nugent design into a demanding test where club selection becomes as crucial as ball-striking. Rolling fairways carved from former farmland reward aggressive lines off elevated tees, while the designer's strategic bunkering punishes wayward approaches to multilevel greens that break toward distant cornfields. What separates this layout from countless Midwest tracks is Nugent's genius for using natural elevation changes to create dramatic risk-reward scenarios that keep scratch players and weekend warriors equally engaged.
