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.

Surprisingly Good Course

Very surprised at how good conditions the greens were. Fairways were so-so. Tee boxes were decent. Can’t beat the value for the money. Would definitely play here again.

Always pleasant

Always pleasant, always a crush on holes 2, 3 and 4 - but that soon spreads out and the pace is reasonable.

First Timer and a visitor.

This course has a lot of interest and is challenging. It may be a little primitive in some ways but it has a good and welcoming feel. A lot of fun for the money.

Greens were in great condition. A lot of holes are similar layout by the river but still a good track to play. Played early morning and walked the course in 3hr 20 min. Value is unbeatable for the area. Would play this course again and again for the price.

Lots of challenging holes along the river.

With the Santa Ana River in the background, it is not easy to conquer the green with many indentations, but it is a fun hole to play.

Good Monday at a Muni

Packed Monday morning but pace was consistent. Under 4.5 hrs. Not a lot of waiting to hit. Greens are fabulous...fairways and rough were ok. Staff was great. What more do you want for $40?

River view grid day

I play here about 10-12 times a year, I like the course , staff, and value. It’s a coin flip who you play behind, really not the golf courses fault. Also this is not a good golf course for beginners, very challenging . Pace of play this time was horrible, will be back again though as this course is worth it.
