El Rivino Country Club first opened for play in 1956. The course was designed by Joseph Calwell.
El Rivino is one of the more scenic public courses in the greater Los Angeles area. Located amid the Riverside foothills, the course offers enough variety of terrain to challenge even the most advanced golfer. The fairways are narrow and tree lined on some holes and wide open on others. There is absolutely no rough on this course and only a small number of well-placed sand bunkers. However, there are five ponds that come into play on at least eight holes, and out-of-bounds areas come into play on many other holes. One of the more notable features about this course is its first hole, a 626-yard, par 6. The entire course is very picturesque, including beautiful flowers, wildlife and breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
El Rivino Country Club closed in 2005.
