Riviera Country Club – one of the highest-ranked courses on the PGA Tour schedule each season – was designed by George C. Thomas and William P. Bell and opened in 1927 in Pacific Palisades, California. It hosts the 2024 Genesis Invitational this week.
Riviera will play to 7,322 yards with a par of 71 for the Genesis Invitational.
The layout ranks No. 4 in California on Golfweek’s Best list of private courses in each state, and it’s No. 18 among all classic courses built before 1960 in the U.S.
Besides hosting the Tour each year, Riviera will be the site of the 2026 U.S. Women’s Open and the 2032 U.S. Open, as well as hosting the 2028 Olympic Golf competition.
