  The site of the Nissan Open is a gem designed by a Philadelphian who loved flowers and was engaged in a search for the perfect rose when directors of the Los Angeles Athletic Club invited him to design a course for them. George Thomas had by then moved to Beverly Hills, had designed the highly-regarded North course of the Los Angeles Country Club and now set to work on Riviera.





The course is a beauty, no doubt about it, and a must-study for every serious student of course design. Thomas's bunkering is inventive, what with their flashed far ends and their ragged look. The course plays in a bowl in the Santa Monica valley and rises to a crescendo at the last hole underneath the massive clubhouse that sits on the high point of the club. Riviera is probably one of the most interesting courses in the game when it comes to forcing a player to think his way round--round the bunkers and doglegs, along the angled approaches into the greens.

"George Thomas was very talented," Ben Crenshaw, who was called in to return the greens to their original contours, says. "Riviera has so many fabulous things about it. The bunkering is wonderful, very bold. They have a grand scope about them, and there is also every conceivable type of hole. The course is so well-balanced and requires you to work the ball so well."
