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.

Great time with the guys!
Had a great time playing this course! Course is well taken care of and has some challenging shots! I would definitely recommend to anyone! Ps great warm up putting green and driving range right next to the first tee!
WALKING NOT A GOOD IDEA!!
Fun course!! Tuff layout elevated greens keeps you honest. Would go back for sure.
Good day at River View
The greens are truly superior for a well-used public course. Average players are challenged, but my friends who are very good golfers normally navigate the place and do exceptionally well. I've played off and on here for years - the staff is friendly, the layout is interesting, the end of round beers are cold, and as a bonus for families: they have a HUGE 18 hole putting green for your children, grandchildren, and golfers alike.
Condition of course getting better.
Besides some rude slow play, this place is legit. Fairways are in way better shape than they were 6 months ago. Greens are clean and soft. Tee boxes are beat up, but oh well. Great course for the price. Wish they had a full time Marshall to keep pace normal.
Excellent condition of the course
Course condition was very good!! I enjoyed my round today. I will be back.
Ice scream
Place was great. They sell tacos and ice scream sandwiches.
Course was fun. Greens were great.
Pace ok.
But all in all will be back.
Great Value
This course is fantastic. It’s a solid value and the conditions of the fairways and greens are much better than most comparable courses. The elevation changes from the fairways to the greens make the course challenging, as does the dry river bed. Overall, one of my favorite courses in Orange County.
Old friend
I haven't played this course in over a decade so I forget a lot of it other than it being tight windy and a great bargain
Yep still the same. Great experience
Best bargain in the OC
I haven't been here in over a decade but I remember it being a well kept course. I have started playing again and this course is so well kept. A true bargain
Nice course
This course was a pleasure to play on it was well kept. The pace of play was fairly slow. But I enjoyed playing it immensely
