About Dora's

Since 2005, Dora Rivera has worked at the first tee box—out of a halfway house that was formerly a chicken coop, when the property was a working ranch. A Westlake icon, Dora goes above and beyond to serve Members and their guests, going so far as to ask for the new Member report to begin learning their names. She’s even known to make food not on the menu to accommodate special dietary needs.

After 12 years of dedicated service, “Dora’s Casita” was officially born and renamed after being known as “Dora’s” colloquially by Members and staff. Dora’s Casita occupies a central spot between the Clubhouse, the turn, and the short course area, making it a convenient place to grab a bite before, during, or after a round or practice session. Dora’s warm presence and dedicated culinary service—including her trademark breakfast tacos and jalapeño margaritas—have made her Casita a favorite stop among Members.
