The links-style Championship Course, the venue for LIV Golf DC, was built specifically for world-class tournament golf
Utilizing holes on two existing courses created by famed architects Tom Fazio and Arthur Hills, the layout was rerouted and remodeled by Fazio’s nephew Tommy Fazio to better utilize frontage along the Potomac River
The Loudoun County layout in Northern Virginia is the only course in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia with vast Potomac River frontage
Upon its debut in 2016, it was ranked by Golf Digest as one of the top three New Golf Courses
The Championship Course was the site for the Senior PGA Championship in 2017
The par-3 210-yard 15th is the course’s signature hole and has a new tee box
The par-4 310-yard ninth will be a potentially drivable hole
