River View Golf Course

Got behind 4 young men who played army golf-hit left hit right!!! Then maybe lucky and get on green and maybe putt only 4 times - on every hole! We finally got to 9 and they decided to go to clubhouse so we skipped 9 went to 10 and never saw them again. They were 4 holes behind us when we finished #18.. With no

one to speed them up it made for a longer day. The course was fun but challenging with having to place your shots.in good locations.

4.36 teetime Got started on time. Finished 18 in the dark with no flag 3.5 hours total. They are sprucing the course up and have trimmed trees and have new carts.

Good value at twilight price.

Lots of golf for the price, very challenging. Staff was great!! Greens were great too

Most people don’t play this course since it is not a Tier 1 or 2 course. That is their mistake and good for the rest of us. It is located in Santa Ana on the run off river bed. If you can open yourself to see the course it is actually difficult, narrow, and very friendly. It has challenges of hitting over the River bed, narrow fairways, and enough par 5’s. They are very golf fee friendly with brand new golf carts.

Everything went well...golfed with 2x same-skill-level golfers as me...had a great time except for my 3-putts!

very good time to practice and play my favorite sport.

They got new carts! But they don't have GPS. I didn't realize how much I used their GPS system on the old carts until Saturday.

It's technical. If you know your shot shape and distances, you'll do fine. If you don't, it's going to be a long round. Elevated tee boxes onto fairways along the riverbed, then up to an elevated green. Then you have 14 and 18 where you are hitting from elevated tee to the elevated green for par 3s. That seems really unfair to those playing the red tees.

5 hours on the weekend is normal, we didn't wait long, but they have a rhythm once you get to the 4th tee box. Unless there's on-course lessons.

Used to be an excellent value: $60ish for a weekend round and small bucket, and you got a cart with GPS.

Disappointing. No snack cart to be found; bathroom was closed; play was very backed up with no Marshall in sight. Won't be coming back.

The good: pace of play, greens, cost.

The bad: uneven tee boxes, some fairways are in not great shape, cart paths are in rough condition.

For the money, you get a solid value, especially with some local courses getting into the $80-$120 range. Green fees here are fair, even if the course might not be in the best shape. It's a fun and challenging layout and if your putter gets hot, you can score.

It was cool to see Colton the course super driving around to interact with the staff and some of the players. Gave the course more of an upscale feel to know that the staff and management take their jobs seriously.

Fun and challenging design. However, having homeless camps along the course was not ideal or pleasant to be around.
