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.

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.

TAKE ME OFF YOUR SPAM LIST!

I DIDNT ASK FOR THIS REVIEW.Yet, I continue to ask to be removed from their endless, relentless spam mail. I WON’T and REFUSE TO REVIEW THESE COURSES. What’s it take fr this company to home my request. You don’t have an unsubscribe button in order to be removed. So I’m forced to request my removal from their spamming this way.. .

Does anybody else have this problem. Please leave your review on how unethical this company is!!

Starting to enjoy this course

The course was a bit wonky and challenging when I first played there a couple months ago. After my third round here I'm starting to enjoy it.

The course layout is pretty unique with narrow fairways and multiple "creek" crossings. Lots of elevation changes that require good course management.

Pace of play was a bit lacking today for a Friday afternoon - got stuck behind a slow foursome (they should be played white or red tees and not blue) for a 4-4.5hr round.

Course conditions is solid for the price you pay, aside from a few spongy greens that made putting tricky.

Looks could be deceiving

The photos on the app do not compare with the actual course. The first 3 whole were nice with a green fairway. Then you get to hole 4 and 5 and the conditions drop drastically. Obviously being in California I expected the “river” to be dry due to drought reasons, but there’s sand almost everywhere. Some of the holes were nice, but most were just underwhelming. Another thing that really upset me was that upon receiving my cart it was still rather wet with water/bleach they use to clean and sanitize the carts. My $75 dollar polo was ruined and it made my overall experience rather sour.
