Genesis Open

The Genisis Open was a great experience! This was our first time at this event. The facility, amenities and volunteer staff were great. I would recommend this to golf and non-golf fans alike...

This is a great place to have a tournament, awesome venue. And the field is always top notch with some of the worlds top players. Take the family and make a day of it.

On Sunday February 18th at the Genesis Open, the two concession stands I visited to grab lunch had both run out of food (sandwiches, wraps, hot dogs, etc.) by 12:15 PM. This made a lot of fans upset. If Genesis wants to be perceived as a luxury car brand, it should ensure the concession operators provide a luxury experience (i.e., have enough food).

My husand took my son to this and they had a fantastic time watching the golf and enjoying the family area with great activities for kids. A million thanks to the Tiger Foundation for sponsoring this!!

This is the 3rd year my wife and I have attended this tournament which was formerly the Northern Trust tournament. The biggest issue I have with this tournament is if you stay all day, getting home on LA's miserable freeways is brutal. We live 65 miles South on the 405 freeway and it took us over 3 hours to get home. A buddy of mine that left at 5:00PM (an hour after me) took him 3.5 hours. Based on that alone, I'm not going back as the drive home is brutal. As for as the tournament, it is excellent. You can get up close without too much trouble unless you are following Tiger or some other really popular player. The one issue that none of these tournaments seem to be able to figure out is the food and beer. Lines are ridiculously long and typically 10 - 15 people deep. They could sell a lot more food and beer if they fix this.

I went on the Saturday. It was a well organized event for the most part, I will say it was disappointing to see some concession stands running out of Stella Artois beer and the food trucks out of food, right at lunch time too! But other than that the course was in great shape and there was a lot of great viewing spots to see the golfers in action. Such a beautiful spot for a tournament!

Watching the best golfers in the world was unforgettable. The venue was great and the weather perfect. My only complaint was the three and a half hours to drive home 50 miles. Next time I'll go on a weekend.

I have been going to this event for the past 5 years. I have to tell you the term low bidder certainly became a reality with this event. The shuttle service that was provided to the course was certainly reminiscent of Mr Toads wild ride. The buses were old public transportation buses that were converted to party buses. In horrible shape dirty with flashing disco lights. The bus used to go to the course had blacked out windows you could not see out. At the price of this event please at least get us there in a reasonable manner.

Riviera is a beautiful venue and the weather was California perfect. You must get there early to find parking and avoid traffic. Following your favorite Pro is not a problem or moving from one to another is not a problem. Be sure and check out the putting green and the driving range to see the Pros up close.

Tiger is back -- and got to see Phil for the first time. Also, Riviera is always a great venue!

What makes it all is the top fields the tournament continues to draw. The shuttle system is especially convenient. Two minor points, food consesion vendor wasn't aware of food comp with my ticket, although did honor it, and it would be nice if the outside souvenir selling hats had a small mirror for viewing.

We have been going to this tournament for years and have always loved it until the last couple of years. Venue itself is obviously beautiful, but when you try and find a hot dog (what used to be the staple food), none to be found. Secondly, when trying to find a burger or anything but a veggie wrap, they're all out at every concession stand. Running out of Budweiser??? Not acceptable. We will not go back next year.

The venue was tremendous. I paid $40 dollars extra for the club house access, big mistake. It was so crowded there was no place to sit for lunch. You could not watch golf from balcony because of the crowd. I am really sorry I spent the extra money.

Great to see the diversity of professional golfers. As an African American it is a pleasure to watch such a diverse group of young men enjoy there passion. Two Americans at the top battling, Na and Watson in particular. Great to see the GOAT , Mr Woods.

As always Riviera was a great place to enjoy the pros, the grounds ands volunteers so excellent. Must say though, that the concessions, particularly the food was so very disappointing . Cold burgers and poor quality all around. I hope the organizers read this because there was a lot of unhappy attendees for these reasons. I know that a generally affluent crowd at a classy event expects more and even a regular joe like me does, too.

The high level is comparable to a major event. All the best players in the field present.

Wonderful venue for PGA event. Friday play spectacular for this though course. The field was packed with the players we wanted to see. Even the free shuttle was convenient for out of towers.
