I just completed mapping Riviera CC in OSM. This course was designed by George Thomas in the 1920s, an architect who worked primarily in California, also designing the L.A. CC, and Bel-Air CC nearby. He also authored the famous golf architecture book, Golf Architecture in America, known as one of the most complete and detailed works on the subject. Riviera is a perfect example of his strategic mind in action, as the routing, variety, and sheer fun of the course have made this course one of the most liked courses on the PGA Tour. This course will also host the golf competition for the Olympics in 2028.
Since I don't have tgc on PC, this is as much as I can do before handing this course over to whoever would like to complete the project. I know there is decent Lidar data available for this course... I'm not the expert for choosing which is the best, however. But if you'd like to take on this fantastic gem of a course, please say so and go ahead!
There is a version of this course in game currently, however it is not very well done. The shapes and contours of the course just aren't very realistic, and the entire atmosphere feels a bit off.
Anyway, if anyone is willing to do this course, we'd all appreciate it so much! Thanks!

Hope to see someone taking this on finally, the boomboom version is total junk.

I believe there already is a Riviera Lidar course in the game. I could be wrong though, if so would be a terrific add to the hame!

Yes there is a course in the game, but the mapping was way off in some places, and that is why I had to completely redo all of the splines in OSM. The tree planting was also inconsistent and the whole course just needed to be touched up more before release. It's not horrible, but it's not good.
