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.

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?
MEN'S TOURNEY
Great day for a tournament! RIVERVIEW has done a great job expanding its fairways into the riverbed...next year the course should be pristine!
Great value
GPS in the carts, greens in nice shape. love this track!
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.
Good fairways and greens
Mostly fine conditions except tee boxes. Greens currently in good condition, fairways also. Always a fun round!
Tough course
Very strange layout.
Having a fade on your drive makes it very hard to hit fairways.
Greens are very fast but in good condition.
Very easy to lose balls.
We played on a weekday afternoon,, pace was good hardly anybody there, I like this place, greens always in good conditions.
Good Time at the View
The course was in good shape. It’s also fairly cheap and close to home. Hitting straight is a must. Not overly brutal, but challenging.
Parking is horrible and very sketchy.
Pace was much better this time which was very surprising based off of how crowded it was.
A course of varied challenges
I like this course for the variety of real challenges across all aspects of the game.
The recovery from flood-damaged fairways some months ago is excellent.
The slow, bobbly greens post-spiking/punching are a nuisance just now but will settle over the next 2-3 weeks, I'm sure.
