Valhalla Golf Club, located approximately 20 miles east of Louisville, Ky., is the first The PGA of America-owned championship site. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, Valhalla was listed among the top three new private golf courses in America in 1987. It is still the top-ranked course in Kentucky and has consistently been included on Golf Digest's "America's 100 Greatest Courses" list. Valhalla hosted its first major, the PGA Championship, in 1996 and has subsequently hosted the Ryder Cup, Senior PGA Championship and PGA Club Professional Championship. The course challenges golfers with more than 40 strategically placed bunkers, and slick greens that feature distinct tiers and sections that provide a variety of challenging hole locations. Fans enjoy the Valhalla's natural amphitheater holes which provide for some of the most exciting viewing in tournament golf.
