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.

Didn't expect

The course is good, nice layout, better bring plenty of balls if you hook or slice. Some signs of homeless people but didn't see any.

River View

While the course was not particularly long, it was very challenging.

The course fairways were narrow and very hilly with a number of elevated greens. For this reason, the key to scoring well was accuracy. While the course conditions in general were good, the condition of the greens was excellent.

The course is in good shape, particularly the greens. Pace of play was fairly slow on a Friday, particularly starting at the 10th tee, where 2 groups suddenly jumped in and began their rounds. Overall an enjoyable course and good value.
