Vegas Happens Here

No place on earth can match the extraordinary and diverse history that lives within the clubhouse walls, neighborhood homes, tennis courts, tee boxes, fairways, and greens of The Las Vegas Country Club. Is that an exaggeration? Not a chance.

Glory Returns – LIV Golf Debuts at The Las Vegas Country Club

It only makes sense that the most storied course in Las Vegas played host to some of the most prolific golfers in the game. In February 2024, LIV Golf launched its season right here at The Las Vegas Country Club. Dustin Johnson claimed the individual title with a steady 1-under 69 to finish at 12-under 198, emerging from a dramatic six-way tie down the stretch.

Welcoming some of the most talented golfers in the world was an honor for the Club—but it was also just the beginning. LIV Golf at LVCC represents a new chapter in professional golf in Las Vegas, bringing fans deeper interaction, fresh experiences, and cutting-edge excitement to one of the most tradition-rich venues in the sport.

The LVCC – The Place to Be in Las Vegas

Since its inception, The Las Vegas Country Club has been far more than a golf course—it has been the beating heart of the city. Over the decades, the Club became a home-away-from-home for Las Vegas’ kingmakers, developers, bankers, entertainers, doctors, lawyers, and the colorful characters who shaped not only the Club, but the city itself.

Founded in 1967 as the Las Vegas International Golf and Tennis Club by former Boston Celtics owner Marvin Kratter, the Club immediately drew legends. Dean Martin himself played here daily, instantly establishing LVCC as the place to be—and to be seen.

In 1970, members led by iconic Las Vegas figures—Merv Adelson, Moe Dalitz, Irwin Molasky, and Allard Roen—purchased the Club, cementing its status as the city’s true social hub and community cornerstone.

A Legacy of Prestige

The Club’s influence extended far beyond its gates. LVCC has hosted 19 PGA Tour and LPGA Tour events, including the first million-dollar purse in PGA Tour history in 1983. Champions such as Greg Norman, Paul Azinger, Davis Love III, Lorena Ochoa, and Cristie Kerr have all etched their names into its history.

The prestige of LVCC also lies in the stories told off the fairways—business deals sealed, wagers made, and friendships formed. As chronicled in The Las Vegas Country Club: Chronicle of an Icon, the Club has long stood at the crossroads of sport, business, and culture in Las Vegas.

In 2017, a new chapter began when the Samick Music Company purchased the Club, ushering in an era of revitalization, renovation, and renewed excitement. Among the many enhancements was the acquisition of a replica FBI plane—forever memorializing the infamous moment it landed in the middle of the lake on the 10th hole.

The Tradition Continues …

From its rich history to its modern innovations, The Las Vegas Country Club remains a place where champions are made, legends are remembered, and the future of Las Vegas continues to be shaped. As longtime member Michael Saltman put it best:

“This is the story of Las Vegas as told from the fairways and tennis courts.”

The story is still being written—and LVCC remains the place where Vegas happens
