#6 on my #TweederTop40Finishers is the incredible Hurdzan/Fry 18th at WeaverRidge in Peoria, IL. A 556-yard Par-5 with a dramatic, downhill drive that must avoid both sand & creek, with an uphill approach(es) to an amphitheater green. I'm still trying to drive it over the creek!

My favorite course growing up as a teenager in central Illinois was WeaverRidge, #24 on my #TweederTop50Courses. A brilliant Hurdzan/Fry design in nice residential community; probably the back nine in Illinois public golf. Excellent Par 5's & two of the best Par 3's I've played.
