Golf in Peoria Heights

Peoria Heights is an independent village of roughly 6,000 perched atop the bluffs above the Illinois River, adjacent to Peoria proper. The elevated position gives Heights residents commanding views over the river valley below and a residential character defined by the bluffside setting rather than the valley floor industrial landscape. The village maintains its own municipal identity distinct from Peoria, with a commercial district along Prospect Road serving both residents and visitors. Country Club of Peoria Golf Course occupies the plateau terrain above the bluffs, taking advantage of an elevated setting that distinguishes it from facilities on the valley floor.
