About “Hogan’s Alley”
Riviera is a masterclass in strategic design. Set in the Santa Monica Canyon, the course is famous for its Kikuyu grass, which provides a unique and challenging lie for the world’s best players. The course has a storied history with the U.S. Open, most notably hosting the 1948 edition where Ben Hogan set a scoring record that stood for decades. The 2031 championship will see the course toughened with narrow fairways and lightning-fast greens characteristic of the USGA’s setup.
