The Wee Tee Golf Center was a beloved Peoria landmark that started back in 1949.
In 1985 Kelly and Bruce Mehl bought Wee Tee and upgraded it to a state of the art miniature golf course complete with batting cages and a driving range.
In 2017 OSF bought the property and it’s now a children’s hospital.
