Iconic buckey list course! 100 years of history, celebrities, and just a gorgeous course!

Some good, some bad. Ryan in the clubhouse is a great guy, real helpful. Unfortunately, he disrespected the Dufresne family name. Also, my buddy got stuck in a sinkhole on 15 and I haven't seen him since. I also tried to get my JV team out for a practice round, but apparently it's "trespassing" to hit a few balls after dark (even though there was no one there). The golf course was beautiful. I shot a 109 the first time, and I was on pace for a 71 the second time, but thats when the sinkhole fiasco went down. Unfortunately, there was nowhere to store my 24 pack of Busch light in the cart. I had…

My wife and I photographed a wedding here recently and loved our experience. The venue really lends itself to beautiful imagery and a fun party, as it's indoor so there are less noise restrictions. There are many areas on the property, cocktail hour on the outdoor veranda at sunset was really beautiful. The ballroom is stunning. Hoping we can come back again soon!

I have never played this course, only visited when attending the Genesis Open. This is a beautiful course to walk with very little strenuous hills aside from the ones to get to and from the club house. We typically purchase General Admission with club house access as that gives you access to nice bathrooms. More recently we had backlot tickets on 18 which gave us an amazing view above the 18th green. These came with an open bar, food and private bathrooms. These amenities alone make it worth the purchase price - however we still spent the majority of the day walking between the t-boxes and gre…

Riviera Country Club is one of those courses you never forget once you’ve played it. From the moment I walked in, I could feel the history, but it didn’t feel stuffy or over the top—just a place that knows how special it is. The routing feels natural, like every hole was meant to be there. Some holes make you think, others tempt you to take risks, and a few just make you stop and admire the view. The fairways are tight in spots, and that kikuyu grass really makes you pay attention to every shot. The par 3s stand out—especially the one with the bunker right in the middle of the green. And the…

Was at Riviera Country Club for a PGA tournament. The course is very beautiful. Fairways are well kept and the walkways are always clean. We really enjoyed walking around, seeing the course, and visiting the pro shop. The course is tucked away in a nice neighborhood and there's not really anywhere to park.

Beautiful golf course with tons of scenery. The course can get steep at times though. I came here for the Genesis Invitational and this was by far the best food course I’ve been too! A difficult course but it’s fun. Also, it’s close to Santa Monica, so after a fun day golfing you can relax at the pier.

Probably one of the most gorgeous venues; you completely forget you're on a golf course. My clients and I did a walk-through of two large rooms on the main floor for a wedding reception, and the staff is so welcoming and very accommodating. Highly recommend!
