Which Ohio course hosts the Memorial Tournament?

The Memorial Tournament is played at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. The course lies in a suburb north of Columbus and was designed by Ohio native Jack Nicklaus.

Nicklaus founded the tournament in 1976, and Muirfield Village opened in May 1974. He envisioned an event with the tradition and international stature of major championships while also raising money for charitable causes in central Ohio. Nationwide Children’s Hospital became the tournament’s primary charitable beneficiary.

The name can cause confusion because Muirfield Village refers both to the surrounding residential community and, more specifically, to the golf club. The tournament course is Muirfield Village Golf Club, not the separate Country Club at Muirfield Village located within the broader community.

The course has hosted more than the Memorial. Its résumé includes the 1987 Ryder Cup, the 1992 U.S. Amateur, the 1998 Solheim Cup, and the 2013 Presidents Cup, making it one of Ohio’s most prominent golf venues.
