LIV Golf Las Vegas Course



The historic Las Vegas Country Club, the host venue of the LIV Golf Las Vegas, was established in 1967 by former Boston Celtics owner Marvin Kratter. Located just six miles away from Sunday’s Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium, LVCC was built on the site of a 1950s horse and automobile racetrack named the Las Vegas Park Speedway.

Initially designed by Edmund Ault, LVCC was later reconstructed by Ron Garl who brought water into play, delivering more challenge and beauty, alongside its rolling fairways, well-manicured greens and acres of olive trees. The course features bent grass greens and hybrid Bermuda fairways.

The venue served as the host course for the PGA Tour’s Las Vegas Invitational (now titled the Shriners) between 1983 and 1991. It also hosted the LPGA Takefuji Classic on the LPGA Tour from 2003 to 2006. PGA Tour champions at LVCC include Greg Norman, Curtis Strange, Paul Azinger, and Fuzzy Zoeller.
