River View Golf Course
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.

Trash
Rude staff & trash conditions! Save your money and go elsewhere.
Great layout great challenges
First time playing this course and I along with my playing group were happily surprised. This course offers a great challenge to all types of shots, while still making them doable for your every day golfer.. the Tee boxes were in good conditions and the greens were some of the best around. We were very pleased with the challenge of the Pin placement and green conditions for sure as recent locations didnt seen to take good care of them like they do here.. you will get a little sand on some of them but that doesn’t affect your puts all that much other than making them a little slower but able to attack the hole. The layout and terrain/elevation challenges were GREAT, and rally made you play and adjust your club selection. Carts had yardage devices on them and even USB charging ports as well. I would recommend this course to anyone and will definitely be coming back again.
Greens have just been seeded!
No one said a word about reseeding the greens so to my dissatisfaction and disappointment when I spiriached the first green, ”bam” , lots of sand!! Needless to say it was very disappointing at my putting...
Surprisingly nice, fun round
First on the course this morning before sunrise, lights on the first three holes aren't perfect but good enough. Got soaked by the end of the round but it was still really enjoyable. The course is an interesting/odd layout but a good mix of par 3's and 5's. Cart paths are a bit rough, a 4 wheel cart would have come in handy. Looking forward to playing again in better weather and with more familiarity.
Never again
I golf there 3 times a week and this is how we get treated! The cart staff was utterly rude! Said they like to keep a 4 hour pace when we played 4 hours 10 minutes and the 4some in front of us hit 8 drives per hole!
Interesting Round of Golf
If you have never played it is difficult to decide where you are going on several of the holes. For this part of Southern California we probably paid a good price; however, we are used to playing courses in Northern Nevada that are nicer for less.
Bang for your Buck
I make my decision on what course to play based on reviews most of the time. Now for $39, that is pretty average here, but after reading other people’s reviews, I would have to say it was the best value for a round of golf I’ve played. The greens were some of the best I’ve played on in a while, compared to other local courses. Tee boxes in a better condition then I thought. Fairways were above par. Aside from the trees not really having any leaves I didn’t have much to complain about. I would definitely come back again.
New Carts My Foot !
Usually I’m not one to complain . But my round on 3.9.21 wasn’t very pleasant at all. We teed off almost :25 pass our tee time bye cause there wasn’t any carts available . Several groups waiting for cartS . The staff claims it was because the course just received new carts and they were prepping & cleaning them . Carts came out about 1 every :10 minutes . Once I got MY cart it was washed down but DID not function properly! Definitely wasn’t new !! After about 3 holes , the cart sputtered and jerked most the time I had it . And I literally had to be pushed by my Uncles cart for the last 6 hole I was nauseous from the jerking and bumpy ride . . Called the pro shop, no answer ! So I was basically stuck with what I had . After the round I brought to the attention of the KID at the pro shop no and the guys working Tuesday cart area . No exaggeration, they did everything to blame me and not apologize for the cart conditions . Why didn’t I call ? Why didn’t o change the cart on the turn.l?? Absolute joke ! Children running these golf course with absolutely no business sense what so ever .! It’s sad because the course is in good shape and a nice track but I won’t be back. Too many other options out there to NOT be appreciated or respected !
Hard as f@%$
Very challenging course.
The greens were well maintained but small and not flat.
The fairways were thin. You have to be on your A game on this course.
Good luck on your round.
