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.

not honest

Booked this course for $39 from GolfNow, but the course would not honor the GN price. Instead, they charged me the stadnard $49 course fee.

Over Booked!

Played with a second. First nine holes were pretty good and then we hit the turn. The line up on the 10th was ridiculous and in fact, decided to leave and not play the back nine. $39 for 9 holes and not thrilled.

Great Day

First time playing. Great staff and really great playing partners I was paired with. Lots of variety on holes. Wouldn’t recommend for beginners. Changed in elevations added to challenge and enjoyment. Many holes are at a higher elevation then fairway so be sure no one is on green when you approach & club up as needed. Overall course condition was as expected for summer. Golf cart GPS and notes were helpful.

Good course but needs a full time Marshall

Good course but would be better if it had a full time Marshall keeping groups on pace.

Driving range needs work, mats were worn out and torn.

Great course

Very nice course to play on. The rough was actually grass. The greens were in great shape. The bunkers could use fresh pile of sand. All and all Will be playing here again.
