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.

Mother's day
It was a calm playing time. With not too many people on the course because it was mother's day. It's usually not crowded and players to close behind each other but in Mother's day it was perfect.
Great Go-To Course
Incredible value, decent conditions, and decent layout. Excited to go back.
Fun and challenging
Greens were in good to excellent shape. Fairways have some rough patches but still extremely playable. Pace was excellent even though twosome in front took 4 shots every tee shot and approach. The course layout is challenging without being brutal or especially long. Par 3’s have good variety of shots and greens need to be targeted. Par 4’s & 5’s force you to think throughout the hole and plan where is best lay up or miss.
Good Course, slower pace!
Course was pretty nice overall, the back 9 greens were a little rough as far as upkeep went, but overall fun time here. The staff was great, but the players that day had some bad pace, not to mention we had a group behind who wanted to play through us, but there was 3 groups holding us up. Overall good buy, a little pricey for the public course but good play.
Really fun.
I had a great time at Riverview. Greens in good shape, the fairways are a bit dry and tight. Good green fees for the course.
Great course for the price. The fairways and tee boxes aren’t anything amazing, but very good for the price they charge. Greens are in incredible shape as well - honestly better than most courses in the area that charge much more to play. Definitely challenging golf here as many fairways are narrow, but it was a very enjoyable round for someone who shoots in the mid 80s/ low 90s. Pace of play was good- waited on a few holes but never too long. Highly recommend for the average weekend golfer.
Good Value
Course is a bit repetitive...hit into the ditch, hit out of the ditch. Skill level disrupts the continuity of play but the 18 hole time wasn't bad. Greens were excellent but overall just okay conditions. However, the value is very good.
