WeaverRidge Golf Club

WeaverRidge Golf Club opened for play in 1997 to a Michael Hurdzan/Dana Fry design on land that was once a family farm carved from forest, with elevation changes of up to 140 feet shaped by retreating glacial action. The front nine is bordered by indigenous prairie grass and flowers; the back nine brings two lakes and a meandering creek into play across several holes. The course carries a 4.5-star Golf Digest rating and is operated as a daily-fee public facility with practice range and simulator amenities.

Golf access at WeaverRidge is public: anyone can book a tee time (public booking window 7 days out; annual passholders 14 days out) or purchase an Annual Pass covering green fees, cart fees and range balls, plus a 10% merchandise discount and $10/hour off the course's curved-screen simulators. No membership is required to play, and none is included with or required of WeaverRidge homeowners. The one resident-specific golf privilege found in this research is minor: the course ownership has agreed to let WeaverRidge residents walk the cart paths when golfers are not actively playing -- a walking-trail courtesy, not golf access, discounted rounds, or club membership. The gated, amenitized side of WeaverRidge lives entirely on the HOA side: the WeaverRidge Master Homeowners' Association (est. 2007) governs the subdivision and its shared pool/tennis amenities separately from the golf operation.

The WeaverRidge Subdivision is a phased North Peoria community organized directly around the golf course, off Charter Oak Road, zoned to Charter Oak, Mark Bills and Richwoods schools (District 150). Housing stock is mixed -- predominantly single-family detached homes, with some attached duplex-style units and a small condo component -- and multiple independent real-estate sources describe the neighborhood as gated. Recent listings span roughly $280,000 to the mid-$700,000s, with the largest homes (five-bed, ~5,900 sq ft) approaching $750,000; homesites and homes with direct course frontage command a premium.

Shared community amenities funded through the Master HOA include a neighborhood pool (on Tilley, at the rear of the subdivision) and tennis courts. The golf club's own clubhouse houses a restaurant and banquet/event facilities open to the public, not exclusive to residents.

WeaverRidge sits in North Peoria off Charter Oak Road, roughly 5-10 minutes from area shopping, dining and entertainment -- a suburban-style North Peoria setting distinct from the older, in-town private clubs (Country Club of Peoria, Mt. Hawley Country Club) that anchor Peoria's legacy golf scene.
