River View Golf Course

This course is in the floodplain of the Santa Ana River so all the greens are elevated to prevent flooding during the winter. You need to getting used to approaching the elevated greens.

This course is covered in trash. That should be enough for a 1 star rating. Dangerous holes; it’s almost as if fairways cross each other frequently; multiple close calls getting hit by ball. If you like places where jeans and a t shirt are allowed, this is the place for you! It doesn’t look like they have any groundskeepers on staff. Just like playing in a dumpsite. Large dumpster several feet off 10th fairway. High db polka band playing nearby. Greens were in surprisingly good shape in comparison to the rest of the course.

This course does not have the best fairways. They are still a work in progress but the greens are well taken care of. You get a true roll! For the price this course is a bargain to work on your putting!!!

First time playing here! Really enjoyed the course layout cutting back and forth over the river (sand bed when I played). It's the perfect difficulty for average/ mediocre players.

Bring extra balls if you suck like.me. I lost 10. Good times though.

Greens were really nice, soft and smooth. Pace of play was good and didn’t have to wait much playing a tee time at noon. Finished the round in 4:30 hours so not bad.

Old school course. Not kept in great shape. If you are looking for a resort type,/high end course, this is not it. The course is cut in and around a canal/river. Thus, the name river view.

However, it is a tough course. Must be able to play shots. 7 long par 3s and par 5s are deceptively difficult. Lot of approach shots to small elevated greens. Would be frustrating for a beginner. If your looking to get a round in and not pay a lot of money, this course would be an option.

Rude staff and terrible conditions! Yardages on cart GPS were not accurate. Hole #17 didn't even have a flag/pin. Save your money and play elsewhere!

Rude staff & trash conditions! Save your money and go elsewhere.

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.
