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.

Fun time and challenging
Good condition
Tough uphill shots
Greens in good shape
Not as easy as I thought
Nice course
I enjoyed this course. The course is in good condition and very playable. A few of the holes incorporate the Santa Ana river so they are a little unorthodox and somewhat challenging. Only real drawback is that a few of the tees are hard to find, but other than that, It's a great place to play a round of golf. Nice range and putting area too.
River View is Still a Timeless Challenge
Grew up playing here and learning how to navigate the Santa Ana river and river beds. Course is still the same as ever and was pretty lush from all the rain. The greens were firm and rolled great. The course is tight so expect a lot of air traffic from neighboring holes throughout. Pace of play was outstanding - about 4 hours on a Sunday and they were packed. Zig zagging across the river and under the overpasses adds to the experience.
The river golf course
Had fun and had a challenging golf game to avoid the river.The pace was a little slow due to more people playing. It was fun and basically you play next to or over the river.
Great course. Worth the price. Good design and some challeging holes
This course is definitely worth the price. Pretty well maintained compared to a lot of other course in the area. There are some challenging holes that have different elevations and some doglegs that you will have to hit good shots. I would definitely be coming back.
Awful
I would not spend your time, money, or energy golfing here.
There is a huge dried out riverbed that is the length of the entire course.
Course management is poor as the golfers in front of me, had no regard to the people behind them, because they chose to drop 4 golf balls, every hole, even though they saw me and the group behind me stacking up behind them. So had to skip hole 15.
Crazy Layout course
First time playing River View so I had no big expectations. Overall course was in fair to good shape (Tee boxes, fairways and greens). The Layout forces you to hit shots over the riverbed wash (hence the name) to reach the green on several holes, and play along side the riverbed on most holes...thus not much room for error if you slice or hook the ball on an errant shot. People looking for their balls slows Pace of Play down considerably pushing a 5 hour round.
Great Bang for the Buck
Course is long and pretty well maintained! $43 with GPS cart IS WORTH IT! Ez the head Marshall is really nice.
Riverview
We had a great round, no waiting on any tee box. Weather was good. Great day.
