For decades, Laurel Valley Golf Club has been at the pinnacle of exclusivity and challenge for its membership and guests. Laurel Valley Golf Club is situated in Ligonier, amongst the beauty of the Laurel Highlands in Western Pennsylvania. Laurel Valley Golf Club was established to meet the needs of the city of Pittsburgh. Before the club’s inception, the town was home to a massive industrial powerhouse, with Pittsburgh leading the charge in producing iron, steel, glass, and coal.
 
 Businessmen at the apex of their fields recognized that business could be conducted away from the office in a relaxing context at the highest levels of corporate America. They aimed to create a golf club where business could be conducted and serve as a respite from the city's hustle and bustle.
 
 Upon selecting the site for the course, architect Dick Wilson surveyed the land obtained from the Mellon family. He stated that the location was “the most natural, beautiful site I have ever seen for a golf course.” While membership had been growing, it was Legendary Golfer Arnold Palmer who would advance the club's fortunes to the highest level of sport. Laurel Valley would gain fame by hosting the 1965 PGA Championship, marking the beginning of historic events that would put Laurel Valley on everyone’s radar.
