Weaverridge Golf and Country Club

Nice atmosphere for lunch. Daily specials which are usually tasty comfort food such as meatloaf or beef stroganoff. Specials usually run about $ 10. Full bar. Outside seating seasonal. View of golf course from dining room. Take out available.

My boyfriend asked for his steak medium rare. I asked for mine medium. They were cooked exactly the same. Asked the bartender what the soup of the day was… didn’t get an answer. The drinks are way over priced. We were just really disappointed.

We came here for a rehearsal dinner last weekend.
The atmosphere is really nice and well-​kept, although the interiors are a bit dated.
Our servers were quite unprepared and novice for a rehearsal dinner that was planned way in advance. They were high schoolers or perhaps young college students — not even old enough to drink yet — so they had no idea about the drink selection. They also rarely came in to check on us, which was annoying since they had forgotten one person’s salad at my table.
The food was mediocre. Our salads were iceberg lettuce with a few random veggies on top. The rolls were plain white rolls. There was no vegetarian option, so I choose the pasta entrée without the chicken. It was simple white pasta with a fatty white sauce. Inside the sauce were artichokes and mushrooms. The mushrooms seemed to be fresh (not canned), but the artichokes were only half-​cooked, so some were very chewy.
In all, I think the 3-​star review is generous.

This course got a really bad rep judging by the other reviews. Since I am from out of town and an avid golfer, I had to come here. It’s been mentioned in a few golf magazines over the years that I have read, so I gave it a shot. I really enjoyed myself. There is a ton of elevation change and dimension to this course that I think is pretty rare to find in Illinois. It was very difficult, I found myself hitting out of bunkers probably 8 – 10 times, lost a few balls on blind shots, and hit a few roofs (luckily not windows). The greens were in good shape, and easy to read though I thought. All in all I thought this was a great little course with a friendly staff, and to top it all off, they had a great deal going considering it was 78 degrees the day I played. I don’t reckon I will ever come back to Peoria, but if I do, I’ll be playing here again.

By far the best course in the Midwest. Actually, one of the best Ive played anywhere! Immaculately manicured, beautiful scenery, challenging test of golf, first rate services, lovely cart girls, nice owners! Do yourself a favor and give this gem a try. Fantastic value. Beautiful clubhouse & facilities. One of the best restaurants in town as well. Best Sunday brunch in town.

I am a little surprised about the poor reviews for Weaverridge. While I can’t comment on the golf course, I am a big fan of going to brunch here. The food is delicious and there is sooo much to choose from. The waiters and waitresses are always nice and friendly. I love that they have a piano player which completes the great environment. I suggest you get there early on Sundays. They open at 10 a.m. You should get there at 10 and have reservations. By 11:00 a.m., it gets very crowded.

I played Weaver Ridge this past Friday. Growing up in the Peoria area, I have played Weaver a few times in the past and that is why I wanted to go back. The only reason I chose to go this past Friday was that they were only charging $ 69 for the round. Usually it is more like $ 85-​$ 90 and this course is not worth that money! From what I experienced during this last round, it is not even worth $ 69. I felt ripped off. The greens were horrible. We are experiencing a drought in IL but you would not know it by Weaver’s over-​watering of the greens. They were spongy and roped off on a lot of sections and it was just bad. Ball marks were everywhere. The sand traps were horrible. The fairways were bad. This course has gone way down hill since the last time I was there. I will not be returning for any price if this is what I can expect. I can pay less at a place like Lick Creek or Metamora (which is fairway only right now) or go to Bloomington/​Normal and get a better golf experience. Weaver Ridge seems to be living in the past and trading on its name.

We went to the restaurant at Weaver Ridge for Mother’s Day brunch and it was extremely disappointing.
— we made reservations for 3pm for 4 plus a high chair and when we arrived, our table was not ready and they had no record of taking a reservation. The 4 girls standing around the host stand did not offer an apology and continued their side conversation while we awkwardly waited.
— when we were seated, we were taken to a table with only half the place settings and water that was so old, all the ice had melted and it was warm
— our server was GREAT — I’m sorry I cannot remember her name because she was very sweet, prompt and was the only employee we did Not observe eating or gossiping with one another throughout their shift.
— the brunch price was $ 26 but on Mother’s Day, it suddenly doesn’t include mimosa, champaign or any other beverages except coffee and orange juice. This is incredibly CHEAP on the part of the restaurant to take advantage of the holiday like that. .
— I get that the restaurant stops seating tables at 3:30, but the food should still be fresh: everything was picked over and lukewarm by the time we sat down. For the price we were paying, I don’t think «freshness» is an unreasonable request. No new food was brought from the kitchen the entire time, even the mostly-​empty trays remained that way.
— the atmosphere was so unprofessional: there was SO much employee chatter, it was disturbing. I used to waitress and I understand normal chatter here and there, but this was really over the top. And what’s with the servers being allowed to dine from the buffet openly in front of patrons while still in uniform? Just bizarre, and the perception was that no one but our waitress took any pride in what they do.
I see how Weaver Ridge is a great place to have a wedding, but to go there for any other reason is unfathomable. Peoria has such a nice burgeoning restaurant scene that I hope people will stop viewing Weaver Ridge as some great, «nice» place to eat and start dining elsewhere. The restaurant is resting on its laurels of when it first opened, it is so sad to see how downhill it has gone over the past few years. And on top of that, it’s a total rip off!

Spend your $ 26 on anything else.
And to the parents of babies — there is no changing table anywhere. Make sure the kids poop at home.

Awesome brunch! And the hottest waitresses ever!

Onen of the best golf courses in Peoria, look for tee times at
to see if you can get a discounted rate. Otherwise green fees aren’t cheap, but it’s worth it.

Let me just interject at this time, that I do not play golf. My family however, are clearly enamoured with the sport as I ate at almost no places other than golf clubs.
The potatoe skins appetizer at this place are SO FREEKIN GOOD! They do potatoe skins differently in California than in Peoria. In Peoria they are much bigger and have more bacon. They give you five whole potatoe halves that are each delectably chock full of creamy cheeses and bacon and mashed potatoes, topped with more cheese and then you get to add the sour cream.
I tell you I was in swine heaven! It took 3 days to eat them all and I shared them!
Good Irish Coffees too. Nice bonus.
