This par 71 is nicely designed, as usual by the CGX team, but is not overly difficult with its wide fairways and you should finish with a low score with eagle opportunities on the three par-5 holes and a few more birdies along the way, provided that you hit good approaches toward the greens. On the front 9, I like the scenic par-5 1st hole, with its downhill tee shot landing near some tennis courts on the left side (with villas a little bit further, also on the left, not far from the green), the uphill approach to the green on the 2nd, with nice flowers, bushes on the right (and villas on the hilltop), and the par-3 6th hole, with a tiny bunker, in the middle of the green. I also like the par-4 8th hole, with its... two fairways, split in between by sand and deep rough, all the way past the green (on the right), and the par-4 9th, with its beautiful clubhouse on top of the hill behind the green. The back 9 starts with the risk/reward par-4 10th hole, back the other way, where you will have to decide if you want to reach its tiny undulating green (less than 320 yards away) with your driver, surrounded by three elongated bunkers, on the right and behind. Then, after the straight par-5 11th hole, whose fairway is divided by more deep rough, midway, but where you should be able to putt for another eagle, most of the following holes have wide fairways and are not too difficult. You will get another eagle opportunity on the par-5 17th hole, if you can manage to get close to its slightly-elevated green, before moving on to the pretty right dogleg par-4 18th, with its uphill tee shot and its beautiful approach to the green, with that nice clubhouse above. Overall, even though the design has changed slightly on a couple of holes since EA's version in 2007, I prefer Neil Munro's 2012 rendition, but this CGX Riviera Country Club course (A & B) is nice too, and you will enjoy it, even though there is no real difference between the pin placements...

As you can see there is a A and B version of this course, both versions are the same, only the flag position on the green is different. Important note: a lot of CGX courses are only playable from the: PRO tees The cgx designers created courses in high tempo, so they only made the pro tees playable. So in TW08 you have to select the PRO tees.
