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.

Slow Play

They put us as a two some behind 5 old guys playing very slow. Called the club house and they basically said get over it. Greens were fine but layout is horrible. First time playing here in 15 years. Now I remember why.

Not a bad course

Things you need to consider if you want to play Riverview. Because it's located in Orange County, this is one of the best deals under fifty dollars on the weekends. The course is in decent shape but no where near other courses that charge more. The fairways require a lot of attention. The greens are okay but would be better if golfers repaired their divots. Also, due to the low rates, Riverview attracts golfers who just starting out in the game or they're just too cheap to go to more expensive course. Either way, expect to have long waits in between holes.

Great course layout

Challenging but fun course to play. Elevation changes and holes that cross over the River. Play the drainage slopes and stay out of the sand. Best practice putting green

Where is your Marshal

Pace of ply was horrendous. Groups taking their time in front of us. Greens are full of divots. Tee boxes are mangled. Definitely not worth 38 dollars a person

Great Track

This was a really fun little layout that zig-zags across the river and up and down the banks. The elevation changes make for interesting challenges and a fun round. The conditions were excellent. Fairways were not patchy at all, and the greens rolled much truer than other courses I've played in this price range. The breakfast burritos from the snack bar were also fantastic. I will definitely be back.
