Nevada’s premier disc golf event and one of the world’s largest, the Las Vegas Challenge (LVC) presented by Innova, is back for its 26th year. The tournament will take place from May 15-18 at the scenic Wildhorse Golf Course in Henderson, Nevada.
The epic event is a cultural phenomenon and features 26 divisions and more than 600 competitors. The field includes the top professionals and elite amateurs, and more than 1000 spectators will enjoy the action plus the Vendor Village that is home to 30 disc golf vendors, a putting & driving contest open to all on May 15, a top pro clinic, daily Ring-of-Fire contests with giveaways, and the Player’s Party on Saturday night featuring the famous Pyramid of Baskets Contest.
This marks the 10th year the event has been hosted at Wildhorse, the only public-use golf course owned by the City of Henderson.
Spectators are welcome free of charge, though parking is extremely limited – Uber and Lyft-type services are strongly encouraged. A limited number of daily spectator passes will be available for purchase, along with two VIP Spectator Packages, which include on-site parking passes. Details will be announced soon.
Giving Back to the Community
Over the years, the Las Vegas Challenge has donated to numerous non-profits and emerging disc golf programs. In 2025, the event will donate $5,000 to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
With Innova’s continued support over the past 25 years, the LVC has received over $1.25 million in cash and merchandise, helping the event grow to where it is today.
Course Layout and Tournament Format
The LVC features three uniquely designed disc golf courses, each with long and short layouts to accommodate 26 divisions. Players will have three days to earn their way into the Sunday finals, where the top 40% of each field advances. Course pars range from 56 to 68, with overall course lengths varying from 6,500 to over 9,000 feet. Individual hole lengths span from 200 feet to nearly 1,000 feet. The Wildhorse property boasts ample space for a player warm-up area, spectator arena, media center, and vendor village. The on-site clubhouse also offers a restaurant and bar, making it a prime location for players and fans alike.
