Riviera Country Club
Opened in 1927, Riviera Country Club has served as the venue for championship golf in Southern California. As the host course of multiple major championships and home to the PGA Tour’s Northern Trust Open, the classic Riviera layout has produced many champions, including Byron Nelson, Sam Snead, Tom Watson, Johnny Miller, Nick Faldo, Fred Couples, Craig Stadler, Hale Irwin, Phil Mickelson and, of course, Ben Hogan.
Having long been known within golfing circles as “Hogan’s Alley”, Riviera remains one of golf’s few genuine classics, with a course layout that is virtually unaltered, yet every bit as great and challenging as the day it opened. Listed prominently in every recognized domestic and international course rating, its combination of layout, history and proven excellence as a major tournament venue makes Riviera one of the world’s great tournament sites with a championship legacy matched by few others.
