About Riviera Country Club
Thomas designed Riviera as a strategic puzzle where precision trumps power, evident in holes like the drivable par-4 10th that can make or break a round. The course flows naturally through the canyon terrain, with elevation changes and native vegetation creating corridors that reward thoughtful course management. What surprises first-time players is how the relatively modest yardage can humble even tour professionals through its subtle contours and demanding approach shots.
