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.

I really tried to be a better man and walk away but I have to say something I’ve been playing here since I started golfing again this summer. I am 60 I get senior discount at virtually all the courses I play. I had received a senior here so I booked as such online. I went in and the starter gave me a horrendous time. I committed the crime of booking a senior before 65 which is the age here. I finally got out to golf after having to get a manager. I played a couple more rounds at full price with out issues. Then I went for a round early Feb. The starter wanted me to go early I requested to keep my time so I could warm up. This upset him. He called me names flipped me off took of his jacket like he was gonna come beat me up. Additionally he didn’t send me at my time. Rather he took the people in my group and sent them out with the group prior. Then he lied to his boss and said nobody wanted to golf with me. I was told by a golfer he was telling people I’m a jerk and they don’t want to golf with me. I am looking to just have a nice enjoyable round and this is how it starts being persecuted for no reason by a starter with issues. I believe they took no action so be prepared to deal with this gem when you go there. I won’t be back
Nice course in OC
Great greens condition. Some fairways has sand rocks near riverbed so careful with your clubs. Great practice greens. No chip area but there’s a range. Friendly staff and new carts with gps. Challenging uphill approach shots.
Don’t bring 5 people
Had a company outing and had called ahead of time to make sure we could do 5 people.
They told us yes, but to book two slots a 3 and a 2. Upon arrival it was a different story.
People had booked up the open slots and even they were fine playing as a 3 allowing the 5 of us to play as our own party as they were all individuals.
But NO, the Marshall made it the biggest deal and constantly kept hovering round the course to make sure we stayed in our group, even though, we were slower playing as a 3 and a 2. They party behind us were held back, and from the Marshall constantly showing up to check on us, it slowed us down even more.
Pretty ridiculous, and wouldn’t recommend to anyone with a larger party.
Course is average, and could be better taken care off.
Won’t be back.
Pure greens
Great and fun layout. Lot of risk reward holes. Fairways could use a little work but might have the best greens in the area. Great bang for your buck!
Great for the price
Very nice clubhouse lady. A little slow 4:35 to play 18 and tee time was pushed 25 minutes. So 5 hour round. A little wet with the rain the day before, but overall fun course. Course dictates shot distances off the tee sometimes. Greens were great! Fairway spotty but lift, clean, and play made it doable. Overall fun day!
Great experience
The course played well and was a great value. It had some challenging holes and was well kept. I’ll definitely play there again.
Sandy Fairways
The layout was very confusing. Flags were ticked away behind trees and hills - hole 8 was probably the best hole on the course and resembled a traditional fairway with the flag in a linear distance . Other than that, your crisscrossing fairways that are bombarded with sand and a river that is more sand than anything else
