Weibring Golf Club

Weibring Golf Club in Normal, Illinois, takes its name from PGA Tour professional D.A. Weibring, a central Illinois native who has maintained strong ties to the region throughout his career. The course was designed by Robert B. Harris and opened in the early 2000s as part of a residential development on the northern edge of the Bloomington-Normal area. Harris, who has designed numerous courses throughout the Midwest, created a layout that works with the gently rolling terrain characteristic of central Illinois farmland. The routing incorporates natural elevation changes modest by regional standards, along with several ponds and wetland areas that provide both strategic interest and habitat value. The design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while offering enough length and challenge from the back tees to test accomplished players. Tree-lined fairways and well-bunkered greens reflect Harris's approach to creating visual definition on relatively open sites. The club operates as a semi-private facility, welcoming both members and daily-fee play, which is common for courses in smaller Midwestern markets. Its location in a college town—home to Illinois State University—means the course serves both local residents and visitors to the area. The property provides a contemporary golf experience in a region where the game has deep recreational roots but fewer championship-caliber venues than Illinois's Chicago suburbs.
