Not a good first experience!
by JD on 2/20/24The Riviera Country Club - Pacific PalisadesRating: 4 out of 5For starters, general parking instructions should say on the website or when you buy the tickets, that the pay to park structure is on 4th St and the buses will be waiting off Wilshire or 3rd, not drive around neighborhoods near the course in traffic for half hour only to get a flyer that takes you back in circles in traffic to San Vicente Blvd. Spent an hour in that debacle. Also, the golfing was great until it wasn’t (no fault of the sponsors or PGA). Waiting on Friday for Tiger Woods at the 8th hole and he withdrew on 7! Myself, 19 year old son, his friend (both drove from AZ in college) and my 76 year old cancer neighbor have never seen Tiger ever…looks like we never will. He won’t play much anymore here in CA. So that’s that!! The course is beautiful and getting out of the venue was a breeze (probably because a lot of people left once Tiger withdrew). I’m a military Vet and so is my neighbor who went and no discount? Unless there’s a decent discount, I won’t go again too, much $$ for what we went through.
