Six Hour Golf
Let's start off here saying that the course is actually in fairly nice shape. Fairways are ok and the greens are in nice shape. Although that is where it ends everything is down hill from there. Played there on a Sunday afternoon and they were starting everyone off the back nine because of a tournament finishing, no problem there. My golf cart parking brakes didn't work and the range / yardage meter wasn't working. I asked about it at the golf shop and was told that's the way it is some do some don't. I understand slow play sometimes when the course is full, but not the complete case here. The foursome in front of us got their cart stuck in the river bed twice and was playing from the back tees and most of the time wasn't hitting the ball much further than the front tees. No ranger on the course to regulate play or monitor anything. Two groups behind us got very frustrated and just quit. Finally made the turn and the pro shop was starting groups off the front nine now, which created even more of a back up. Waited at the first tee for 20 minutes and finally said this is enough, unloaded my cart and left. Vowing never to return.
River View, a great course to play
At 82 years of age, I played from the forward tees. The course is in the best condition I've ever seen it to be in, even though the rain damage caused one par 5 to be played as a par 3.
Tough Turf!
Overall the course was OK, but not pristine! The east side of the 4th hole was great - RIVERVIEW listened and cut the rough to a reasonable level! The fairways have had an excess of riverbed sand get in the soil base, and that makes for some hard turf - sometimes it was like hitting on wood or astroturf.
Hard Luck
I've golfed this couse many times, and usually the fairways are decent! However, the recent rain has layered the fairways with a hard pack below the grass; sometimes like hitting into wood! ...course needs time to rejuvenate!
Some upgrades coming
I have played here about 4 times in the past 9 months, my recent visit I’ve notice a major improvement in course conditions. Greens are nice, grass is well kept! I love it.
Riverview
Fairways and greens were in very good condition due to the work they are doing they were a couple of holes that we skipped
Overall I like to play there
Botched
The course is completely botched. 100 yard par 3’s that have no yardage reading. Score card doesn’t match up with holes or yardages. Play hole 1,2,3 then it’s completely scrambled. Pretty ridiculous price at $25 dollars.
Its what you would expect for price
Besides the terrible pace at this course it was quite enjoyable. We were stuck in about a 4-5 cart backup on hole 4. This is mainly because they allowed a group of 8 out right before sending 3 more groups out. Wouldn't have been that big of an issue if there was space behind to play slower, but when you have a huge line you start to hurry yourself.
For a light rainy day course was in as good as shape as you could ask for.
Course flooded
Thirty percent of entire course is flooded with Santa Ana River water forcing course staff to shorten 18 holes to 9 holes.
Not a good time to play now.
Wash out
Booked the regular course on line. Drove an bhour and a half to be told it was closed because of all the rain. Short executive course 9 holre was open. Should not have been rough shape. There should be notification after booking on the closure or they should not be allowed to post times. Very frustrating.
Amazing Course Layout!!!
Played on a Wednesday starting at 10:15am and finished 2:30pm (4 hours 15 minutes) First time playing here and really enjoyed the course layout. Big elevation changes and some blind shots into higher greens. Putting area is really nice and they have a 18 hole putting course. Will def come again!
