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.

Everything is in chaos
They have completely altered their course layout basically 15 Par-3 holes out of 18 holes no kidding you read right. I booked hot deal $20/ person riding for Dec 29 on Golfnow. For the holiday season while everybody else were busy and raising price they stayed pretty calm. Anyway I kind smelt fishy so I called the pro shop. A lady assured me that there was nothing wrong with the course and they finished their major maintenance in Sept so now it’s in great shape. Yeah right! Will never come back!
Don’t waste your money
This is the worst course I’ve played on, goat track...won’t be back.
Course conditions under-par
Hard to chip something when the ground beneath is solid mud or just plain dry dirt
Really bad course
Such a disappointed golf course.
I will not be at hear again
Ok course but needs some TLC
The course seems pretty run down but the greens and sand traps were in good shape. But the price was very reasonable so it made up for the course conditions.
Fair condition
Very challenging place to play golf ,for long shooters is perfect , for short shooters you might have a problem but don’t worry easy to find your golf ball if you don’t make it across the river.
Should close down
Have never played anywhere worse than this so called Golf course left after 9 holes complete waste of 49 dollars ! Wouldn't go back for free
Hit the ball around
Fun new course I played today. Worth the money and more. Greens in great shape. Will be in the course rotation.
Not Bad Not Great
With a few beers any course can be fun haha!
The conditions weren’t great but they have some challenging holes. The layout is a bit tight so your straight game needs to be on. Also be on alert on some of these tee boxes from incoming stray balls.
If the conditions were immaculate, my only complaint would be that the layout was a little tight and the driving range is right on the course. The first tee might be challenging as it is right next to the driving range mats and gets pretty loud from everyone striking golf balls.
I’d say if it were $40 I’d play there again but at $49 I’d pay $11 more and play somewhere like Westridge or Eagle Glenn instead
Enjoyed the round. Course was in good condition. Tee boxes look to be under repair. Greens are in great shape. Fairways decent. Golfed here a few times before and have enjoyed it in the past. Will be back again at some point. Great Value.
