River View Golf Course

Don't think I have ever played a course with such a layout. It was difficult on many holes to actually know where the fairway was or where the landing target is for your tee shot. The course winds and twists and crosses and re-crosses the Santa Ana River. I do not know how one would cross some holes if the river bed was not dry. The course does not lack for elevated greens which once you locate them , hitting to them and judging distance based on their elevation becomes a true guessing game. Most fairways need attention and grass, yet the greens are impeccable and in great condition. I would recommend more signs to lead you to the next tee box and some fairway target poles to give you an idea where to aim your tee shot. With all that being said, my wife and I found the course to be challenging and interesting, especially with 20 mph winds. You may need a guide to navigate it but once you have played it and get a feel as to where to aim and go, its a very unique experience.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
