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.

Play Riverview for exceptional value

Check-in staff was very kind and accommodating. He also was very helpful with information regarding pace of play as there was a high school tournament taking place.

Marshall Steve is awesome and friendly. He gave us a recommendation to start on the back 9. We enjoyed the rest of our twilight session.

The course layout can be challenging to beginners as there are quite a few over the river tees. Also, quite a few elevation changes in the course. Overall, a great time for the price.

River View, a great course to play

At 82 years of age, I played from the forward tees. The course is in the best condition I've ever seen it to be in, even though the rain damage caused one par 5 to be played as a par 3.

Tough Turf!

Overall the course was OK, but not pristine! The east side of the 4th hole was great - RIVERVIEW listened and cut the rough to a reasonable level! The fairways have had an excess of riverbed sand get in the soil base, and that makes for some hard turf - sometimes it was like hitting on wood or astroturf.

Hard Luck

I've golfed this couse many times, and usually the fairways are decent! However, the recent rain has layered the fairways with a hard pack below the grass; sometimes like hitting into wood! ...course needs time to rejuvenate!

Some upgrades coming

I have played here about 4 times in the past 9 months, my recent visit I’ve notice a major improvement in course conditions. Greens are nice, grass is well kept! I love it.

Botched

The course is completely botched. 100 yard par 3’s that have no yardage reading. Score card doesn’t match up with holes or yardages. Play hole 1,2,3 then it’s completely scrambled. Pretty ridiculous price at $25 dollars.

Its what you would expect for price

Besides the terrible pace at this course it was quite enjoyable. We were stuck in about a 4-5 cart backup on hole 4. This is mainly because they allowed a group of 8 out right before sending 3 more groups out. Wouldn't have been that big of an issue if there was space behind to play slower, but when you have a huge line you start to hurry yourself.
