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.

Nice round
We had a good round at River View today. 8:54 tee time and actually got off a few minutes early. My twosome was paired up with a single. With the extra par threes on this course we did wait a minute or two on many tee boxes, but still got around in just over 4 hours. Very reasonable. Staff was very friendly and COVID protocols were in place. Only complaint would be about the course layout: felt a little cramped in crossing over the river multiple times, and did have two errant shots land on a tee box as we were teeing off. One came right through our cart- scary! But overall a nice place to play.
Fun, challenging, quirky
We had a blast, it’s an interesting lay out, good walking course, a mess in some spots, tee boxes a mess but for $30 to walk it’s hard to beat. And it was jammed but still finished in 4 1/2 hrs.
Waste of Time
This is the worst golf course I think I've ever played. The course is in terrible condition. The layout is awful. I'm not even sure I would call them fairways. The dirt river bank runs basically through the middle of the course. Overall, it was a terrible experience.
I'll NEVER play this course again. Course conditions are horrible! Only thing that was good was the pace of play. If you have nice golf clubs I do not recommend you play here.
Excellent friends & course
Good players got together to enjoy their rounds. I will come back to play!!
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.
