Metamora Fields Golf Club


About this course
Metamora Fields Golf Club sits in the rolling farmland of central Illinois, roughly fifteen miles northeast of Peoria. The course was designed by D. A. Weibring and Steve Wolfard, a partnership known for their work throughout the Midwest during the 1990s and 2000s. Weibring, a PGA Tour veteran who grew up in nearby Quincy, Illinois, brought a player's perspective to his design work, often emphasizing strategic options and playability across different skill levels. The layout takes advantage of the property's natural terrain, incorporating elevation changes and wooded corridors that are characteristic of this part of the Illinois River valley region. The design balances open, links-style holes across former agricultural land with more enclosed, tree-lined passages, creating variety in both visual character and shot requirements. Water features and bunker complexes provide definition and challenge without overwhelming the fundamental land forms. Metamora Fields serves as a daily-fee facility, accessible to the broader golfing public in the Peoria metropolitan area. The course reflects the Weibring-Wolfard philosophy of creating engaging golf that rewards thoughtful play while remaining approachable for recreational golfers. The setting offers a quiet, rural atmosphere despite its proximity to central Illinois population centers, with views extending across the surrounding countryside.

Getting there
# Getting There
Metamora Fields Golf Club is reached most conveniently via Chicago's O'Hare International Airport (ORD) or Midway International Airport (MDW), each roughly ninety minutes to the southwest by car through the gently rolling farmland of central Illinois. The drive itself traces a quiet transition from suburban sprawl into the open prairie landscape that defines this corner of Woodford County, where cornfields and pasture give way to the manicured grounds of the club. For those with access to regional aviation, Bloomington-Normal Airport (BMI) sits just thirty minutes to the south and offers a more intimate arrival point. The final miles unfold along quiet country roads that deliver you to Metamora Fields with the unhurried grace befitting a club rooted in the agricultural heartland - a setting where the horizon stretches wide and the game feels refreshingly removed from the noise of the coasts.
