The Riviera Country Club was founded in 1926 by the members of the Los Angeles Athletic Club. Their vision was to build the premier golf course and outdoor facility in Southern California. The serene escape they imagined became a reality in 1927 when the golf course opened to critical acclaim. As Riviera nears its centennial, it is as vibrant and extraordinary as ever. In the words of the club’s owner, Mr. Noboru Watanabe, “It is people’s passion that moves reality and brings dreams to life. I will continue to improve the great traditions that have been passed down from my predecessors and pass them along to the next generation.” –
