Riviera Golf Club, Cavite
Riviera Golf Club in Silang, Cavite is a premier golf destination boasting two internationally designed championship courses—the Langer Course and the Couples Course. Situated along the Tagaytay Ridge, the club enjoys cool weather, elevated terrain, and sweeping views, making it a favorite among serious golfers and casual players alike. With a unique blend of challenge, beauty, and accessibility, Riviera is considered one of the most complete golf facilities in the Philippines.
Only 90 minutes from Metro Manila, the club is tucked away in lush countryside with minimal residential encroachment. The distinct design styles of Bernhard Langer and Fred Couples provide variety and balance across 36 holes, ensuring no two rounds feel the same. Riviera is also a regular host of junior, amateur, and interclub competitions, reinforcing its reputation as a venue for both play and performance.
Course Layout & Design
The Langer Course – Designed by two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer, this course challenges players with narrow fairways, well-placed bunkers, and elevation changes. Known for its sharp doglegs and sloped greens, it rewards course management over brute strength.
The Couples Course – Designed by 1992 Masters winner Fred Couples, this course is wider and more open but no less demanding. Water hazards and wind exposure from higher elevations make club selection crucial, particularly on approach shots.
Both courses are par 72 and stretch over 13,850 meters (15,150 yards) combined. Well-maintained zoysia fairways and TifEagle greens ensure consistent play conditions all year long.
Signature Holes
- Langer Hole 16 – A demanding par-4 that plays uphill to a narrow green guarded by deep front bunkers and trees lining both sides.
- Couples Hole 6 – A downhill par-3 framed by a panoramic view of Silang’s hills, with a pond and bunkers surrounding the green.
Facilities & Clubhouse Amenities
