Venue

Riviera Country Club

Ormond Beach, FL, United States

Riviera Country Club, established in 1953, is an 18-hole, par 71 championship course located in Ormond Beach, Florida. Known as "the friendly club," it offers a relaxed, inviting atmosphere without requiring tee times, allowing golfers to play at their own pace. The course features beautifully manicured fairways, tee boxes, and greens maintained in excellent condition. The layout is characterized as relatively tight but manageable for average golfers, with small and fairly fast greens that present a significant scoring challenge despite the course's moderate length. The design creates a testing layout that rewards strategic play. The course has been recognized by Golf Digest as one of the "Best Places to Play." Set in a pleasant landscape with plenty of character, Riviera Country Club combines accessible pricing with quality amenities including a pro shop carrying major brands like Titleist and FootJoy. The facility is family-run and emphasizes genuine hospitality, making it a popular destination for both seasoned golfers and newcomers in the Daytona area.
