Golf In Full Swing At The Weibring Golf Club

NORMAL, Ill. – As we move deep into spring and the weather gets warmer, thoughts of hitting the golf course for a round with family and friends are a reality as golf is in full swing at the Weibring Golf Club on the campus of Illinois State University.

The course has re-opened for the season and patrons are already taking advantage of seasonably warm conditions in the Twin Cities. They are also being welcomed back with renovations at the course and new discounted rates. Seeing golfers back on the course again is a welcome site for many, including ISU Assistant Athletic Director Travis Williams.

"The start of the golf season is always very exciting, but it feels extra special following a challenging 2020," Williams said. "We are excited to welcome everyone back to the course and have added a new Redbird Rate that includes options for Weisbecker Scholarship Fund supporters. We hope that everyone joins us at the golf course and enjoy an elevated golf experience through great customer service, upgraded amenities, and championship playing conditions.   

Those interested in playing a lot of golf this spring and summer can purchase a season pass, which includes unlimited green fees as well as cart fees available at $15 for 18 holes and $9 for 9 holes every day of the week. There are also discounts available for seniors, juniors and the Redbird Rate (available on season pass and player card for ISU faculty, staff, retirees, students and Weisbecker Scholarship Fund donors). Semester passes for current ISU students are also available for purchase and special rates are in place for current and former members of the military as well.

Patrons headed to the course for the first time in a while will also be welcomed by a new paver project that increased the cart staging area and provided a new look to the front of the course. As you head inside to the clubhouse, players will see renovations that include new locker rooms, a conference room/players' lounge, office spaces and a refreshed look in the golf shop that includes new carpeting and merchandise.

"We couldn't be more excited about the start of the 2021 golf season," Head Professional Tom Szymoniak said. "We had a very active off-season as we made several improvements to the club. More improvements, such as the addition of Redbird branding, new Redbird team lockers, new tee signs and a new street clock near the 1st tee are also on the horizon. All the improvements are aimed to elevate the experience and provide a private club feel at Weibring all while maintaining our 2020 fee structure. We expect this to positively impact our Redbird golf teams and the everyday golfer.
