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.

Great Course
Very good round. Pace of play was good on a busy day. Greens are in excellent condition. Please fix your ball marks and they'll stay that way. Fairways are good and not to bumpy at all. Overall excellent course for the price and being a public course. Will play again.
Surprisingly challenging
Some of the holes have fine challenges for any golfer.
The elevated and fairly small undulating greens make you consider your shots most carefully - as the penalties for poor accuracy are challenging.
Always good to play here with good company.
River View is just that!
I like this course for the layout and the price. Watch out for the GPS golf carts as they stop if you get to close to the greens and other no go areas.
Love this course, all the workers are so friendly. Havd played here 150 times, it is a great value for the money
Target golf
Boy what a course. Feels like a desert course and mountain course combined. Low flat fairways and high elevated greens. I will play this course again and again
Challenging course . Nice staff, Good price &
Thanks. Will return⛳️
Quirky Layout
Played here today and was anticipating slow round based upon other reviews. Our experience in pace wasn't too bad; under 4:30. However, the layout is way too quirky. We were glad to be done. Staff was very good. For the location and condition of the fairways, generally a good value. But, we did not enjoy the layout and will not return.
Easy to Underrate this course
You can give this course 1 star or 4 stars depending on your perspective. Very short, very thin course. Bombers probably won’t like it (only a few holes to use Driver) but you need to play courses like this to improve your short & mid irons. Unintentional fades will find OB. Intentional straight and draw shots will give you birdie chances all day. Greens in good shape. Fairways were fine. Pick up lies near the riverbed unless you like hitting off hidden rocks & taking chunks out of the soles of your irons.
Last resort for 18
First group out so didn’t have to worry about pace of play! That being said, staff was late so late checking in and starting… Layout is nothing to write home about and a little confusing. Fairways are in very rough shape with several river beds of “waste bunkers” filled with gravel. Only positive is that the greens were in good shape
