The 24th Annual Las Vegas Challenge

The 24th Annual Las Vegas Challenge (LVC) presented by Innova will take place from February 23-26, 2023 at Wildhorse Golf Club in Henderson, NV. The top competitors from around the world will be competing on one of disc golf’s main stages, trying to get their seasons off to a hot start. 

As the DGPT season opener, the LVC acts as a tonesetter for the year to come. With 2023 expected to be disc golf’s most-competitive, best-covered, highest-stakes year in history, the LVC tournament directors, staff, and volunteers have been working overtime to create an event worthy of the year to come. The courses have been redesigned to be more technical, challenging, and fair than ever before. The competition level has never been higher. The on-sight spectator experience is set to be more involved and more fun, with the most vendors and activities on site we’ve ever had. And the at-home spectator experience will be at its best as well, with live coverage of each round by Disc Golf Network as well as post-produced coverage from your favorite media outlets. 

Whether you make it to Vegas to watch in person, or you are watching at home, the 2023 LVC will be unmissable. Here is everything you need to know to get ready for this year’s Las Vegas Challenge presented by Innova.

This year, the courses have been modified to be as challenging and fair as possible for the players, while being as safe, yet close-to-the-action as possible for the spectators. 

While many small changes have been made to OB lines and spectator areas across the property, listed below are the most significant changes that the three LVC courses will see for 2023.

Millennium Course

Hole 7

This is a brand new hole this year. It is a 315 foot, par 3 with a low ceiling off the tee. The OB gets narrower as you get nearer to the basket. Hole 7 will require a straight shot with minimal fade. This new hole is one of the most technical holes on an otherwise fairly open course. 

Hole 9

The green of hole 9 has been redesigned. This year it will play as an island hole with a big risk/reward decision to…
