Golf in East Peoria

East Peoria sits on the east bank of the Illinois River directly across from downtown Peoria, connected by bridges that make it a functional extension of the metro despite its Tazewell County address and independent municipal identity. The city's fortunes have long been linked to Caterpillar's global headquarters in Peoria, and its riverfront position shapes both its visual identity and recreational character. Fon Du Lac Golf Course operates in this setting, offering views toward the Peoria skyline and access to the river valley terrain that defines the Tazewell County side of the metro. East Peoria's waterfront redevelopment has made the Illinois River a more deliberate part of the community's identity in recent decades.
