Roar excitement in store at JCB Golf & Country Club
LIV Golf’s first visit to Staffordshire in 2024 gave all the proof you could need that British fans enjoy their sport with plenty of noise and passion.
The event was a raucous, reverberating success, with a sell-out crowd roaring on a start-studded international field – and particularly their local English heroes.
There is no time to lose if you want to be part of an event guaranteed to get your pulse racing in the heart of England on July 25-27.
Jon Rahm will be back looking for a repeat of his 2024 victory. That was his first LIV Golf win, and one that put him on course to become the season-long Individual Champion.
He denied his Legion XIII team-mate Tyrrell Hatton to win at the JCB Golf & Country Club – but Hatton loved the event. He said: “Playing in front of English fans, they were quite vocal out there.
“It really felt like you’re playing a big tournament, which is great. I think all the players would have enjoyed that today.”
Fellow Englishman Sam Horsfield – the Majesticks GC member who lives five minutes away from the course – agreed and said: “The English crowds really brought the energy.
“There were so many people watching us all day. Even when we were on 6 and 7, sort of the back end of the course, there were a bunch of people out there supporting us.”
JCB Golf & Country Club, a rural gem just outside Uttoxeter
The course that will stage LIV Golf UK by JCB for a second time in 2025 has been in operation for less than a decade.
Designed by Robin Hiseman of European Golf Design, the course in the rolling countryside of Staffordshire, in the English Midlands, opened in 2018 and has quickly earned a reputation as an elite venue worthy of staging top-level events.
It was built on farmland right next to the main manufacturing site of construction and engineering giant JCB – hence the name. The vision of the company’s chairman, Lord Bamford, was a course that would raise awareness of his brand.
Mission accomplished. Golf watchers all over the world are now aware of the venue – as are the English fans who flocked to the course in 2024.
More than 37,000 attended over the three days of the event, and LIV Golf is expecting another sellout this year.
When the venue was announced for 2025, LIV Golf’s then-CEO Greg Norman said: “The tournament exceeded everyone’s expectations and it was an amazing family occasion, with superb golf and great entertainment.
“We expect high demand for tickets next year, so we urge anyone wishing to attend to mark the dates in the diary now and look out for ticket details once they are announced.”
Membership structure at ‘spectacular’ venue
Unless you’re one of the stars in the LIV Golf galaxy, it’s not easy to get to play at the JCB Golf & Country Club.
Membership here is purely corporate – there are no individual members. That corporate membership starts at more than $30,000, and in return the company in question gets a certain number of tee times per year.
The only way to play here is to either work for JCB, be a client of the company, or be invited by a corporate member. The weekend green fees for JCB staff are currently £60 – about $75.
Those who are fortunate enough to play relish the opportunity to enjoy the course layout, which stretches to over 7,300 yards from the back tees. “Nothing short of spectacular” was the verdict of one visitor.
The club’s signature hole is the 17th , a long, downhill par-three of more than 250 yards.
It was here that American player John Catlin raised the roof in 2024 when he holed in one.
As the name suggests, there is so much more than a golf course here. The club is home to a state-of-the-art golf academy, there are dining and hospitality options, and stay-and-play packages are available if you’re teeing it up.
Be at the front of the line for hospitality and tickets at LIV Golf UK by JCB
The fact that the JCB Golf & Country club sold out for the 2024 LIV Golf event is all the reason you need to waste no time booking for this year.
