Nestled in Pacific Palisades just minutes from the Pacific Ocean, The Riviera Country Club rolls across a canyon landscape with eucalyptus-lined fairways, bold bunkering, and greens that demand imagination and precision. It even survived the recent Palisades fires virtually unscathed, standing as a testament to its enduring place in the landscape. It has staged three major championships—including Ben Hogan’s legendary victories that helped cement its nickname as “Hogan’s Alley”—and is the longtime home of the Genesis Invitational, where golf’s biggest names have competed for decades. From Byron Nelson, Sam Snead, and Tom Watson to Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Rory McIlroy, the game’s legends have all walked its fairways, adding layers of history to every tee box and green.
