River View Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Situated within the Santa Ana Riverbed, River View Golf Course is conveniently located just minutes from Disneyland, Anaheim, and Long Beach. The course's design intertwines with the river, providing challenging hazards on several holes. The narrow layout also features elevated greens that rarely offer a flat lie and are fiercely guarded by sand. Accuracy is a necessity throughout this golf course. Although it offers a fair amount of challenges, there is also ample room off the tees that makes the course more accessible for beginners. River View G.C. is also popular for its practice facilities, which include a driving range with targets and the county's largest putting course. While the other facilities may be modest, River View offers an affordable game that is one of Orange County's best values.

Another great day
Greens excellent
Course layout challenging
Traps pretty good
Some t boxes rough
Fairways starting to get the socal summer drys but mostly in great shape
Staff and greens keepers excellent and consterate. Bravo.
Fun Track
Great Sunday round, prefect weather and the course was in great shape, overall positive experience. Tight course in some areas but strategic netting helps offset the crossfire concerns.
Lost time
Pace was really bad. Course was not in that great shape, bare areas, weeds in first cut, when you could tell there was a first cut, but the greens were the high point of the course. Course is to tight for novice golfers, greatly slows down the pace.
interesting layout..
I dont think this course will stay my weekend courses even the course is 10 min from my home.
Weird layout
This course has a very interesting layout.
Definitely not a traditional layout
Also do not believe the yardage on the card
Honestly, very difficult to describe this course. Good thing I had someone with me who would played the course before who could give me a little bit of course knowledge. Greens are slow and bumpy. Definitely need to be rolled. If you are a driver off the tea every single time this course is not for you. Does require some accuracy, which is great as well and there’s a lot of elevation change.
I don’t think I ever heard the word fore shouted so many times on of course
Consistently good to play
Fairways mostly excellent but short cut.
Roughs not too long. Some places with heavy grass.
Greens all in excellent shape. Some players not fixing ball marks must mostly good.
Tee's were rough on 4 holes.
Quite challenging course but can be forgiving.
OB is definately lost ball....
Good Pace; Somewhat Challenging
This day, the pace of play was pretty good. The conditions of the course were good. The greens were in good condition. The weather was nice; a little on the warmer side. I had a good round. No major problems or complaints.
Great bang for the buck
If it wasn't the slow pace, I would have finished the course. We teed off at 9am and that was earlier than the 915 we booked. The groups ahead of us clogged from the second hole and ended up having 3 groups in every course. The fairway was in good shape. Most courses are narrow and are close to each other. Watch for balls flying in every direction. One of the great bang for the buck courses, though.
Home away from home
Don’t build that park and keep it an 18teen hole course.
