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.

Best Conditions I’ve seen this course in

I’ve been playing here on and off for the last half a year and today was the best condition the course has been in since I’ve started playing here... greens and green side rough are in unreal shape for a course that costs $50 a round... very impressed ... also helps that I shot my best score ever today to the positivity is high right now

Old course. Fairways and greens are in ok shape but around the course is a mess. Lots of holes with the same layout. Dog leg left and up a hill. Wouldn’t play again.

Don’t overlook this course

Small - TIGHT- challenging course. While not many areas to lose a ball, the fairways are narrow, greens true, and dog legs well placed. Fairways are in excellent condition!

Great value at riverview

Great course to work on distance clubs and course strategy

The greens are maintained perfectly by the staff, the fringe is a little bumpy but all in all fun course.

It a good course to practice

Fairways need more grass. There are bare spots everywhere. The greens are ok. People don’t fix their ball marks.

Dangerous

This is an extremely dangerous place to play golf. Too many areas where you're in the path of other other players hitting their balls . Won't play this place again
