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.

GREAT GOLF DAY!

I always recommend this course: Eight elevated greens (4th, 5th, 7th, 12th, 13th, 15th, 16th, and 17th), 2x across-the river holes (14th and 18th), and two narrow fairways (3rd and 6th). The fairways are decent, and RV has made the 4th much more playable with the addition of fairway below the hill along the riverbed. The course is definitely a good deal, and in very good condition.

Bogey R Us

One of the toughest courses, I play on.

Twist and turns along with the river in the middle, I do enjoy playing there

Thank You Marshall

Love the price, great staff, good food, interesting course, have played several times. I get to play golf once a week in SoCal, and rarely, if ever, do you find a real marshal concerned with pace of play. Thank you, Marshall, for intervening on behalf of the golfers today. The group in front of us should NOT be playing on this course. Most golfers support new golfers since we were all new at some point. But if you are relatively new this is NOT the course for you. Many greens are significantly higher than the fairway. That’s unusual and makes for many difficult and challenging shots but meant for high handicaps.

PERFECT CONDITIONS!

I really had a great time! I parred the 4th (par-4), which is difficult; I also parred the 17th (par-5), and 18th (par-3)! The greens were in great shape - near-perfect speed! I recommend this course!

Decent enough for the price

Price point makes this course clearly better than many in so cal. Greens were decent enough and I had a pretty fun time with friends.

Definitely worth the money

At $29 for a twilight rate, we got in about 15 holes, this course exceeded my expectations. Will play here again.
