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.

Dandy track
This course has made the most of the geography. Fairways and greens were in excellent shape. I would recommend being accompanied by someone who knows the course but that is true at most courses. It’s a little tight between some tees and greens so be aware of other golfers.
All in all I really enjoyed my round.
Solid.
Solid course with a funky layout, but good conditions. Greens were super soft, but pure.
Just an odd course layout.
So I didn’t realize I had played this course years ago and now I remember why I had only played it one other time. Firstly the greens were pure and very well kept, fairways decent, bunkers need work and some sand. The layout is nuts and if you don’t hit your shots, prepare for a frustrating day. No room to miss!! Barely went right on a par 3 to steer clear of houses left, and ended up down a 50ft ravine! That being said if you want a challenge for your game it’s not a bad track. If you tend to leak shots right and can’t draw the ball….I’d probably pick a diff course.
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.
