ABOUT THE COURSE

TRUMP NATIONAL GOLF CLUB WASHINGTON, D.C.

Potomac Falls, Virginia, USA
Par: 72
Yardage: 7,479

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
