Welcome to River View Golf Course, a scenic golf destination in the heart of Santa Ana, California, where the game of golf flows naturally alongside the beauty of Southern California’s coastal landscapes. Framed by open skies, mature trees, and the nearby river ecosystem, River View offers an unforgettable round where nature and recreation exist in perfect balance.

​

As you make your way across the course, you’ll notice the vibrant wildlife that thrives throughout the Santa Ana region. The graceful presence of the Great Blue Heron can often be seen wading along water hazards, while the keen-eyed Red-tailed Hawk circles overhead, scanning the fairways below. Along the edges of the course, it’s not uncommon to spot the quick movements of the Coyote at dawn or dusk, a reminder of the wild spaces that still exist within Orange County.

​

On the ground, the sun-soaked terrain is home to smaller residents like the resilient Western Fence Lizard, while flowering shrubs and native plantings attract the buzzing beauty of the Anna's Hummingbird, a year-round local favorite. Around the water features, flocks of Mallard Duck glide peacefully, adding a sense of calm rhythm to the course.

​

River View Golf Course is more than a place to play—it’s a living landscape that reflects Santa Ana’s natural heritage. Through thoughtful water management, native landscaping, and habitat preservation, the course supports the surrounding ecosystem while offering players a chance to connect with the outdoors in a meaningful way.

At River View, every round is accompanied by the sights and sounds of California wildlife, making your experience not just about the game, but about the land itself—alive, dynamic, and uniquely Santa Ana.
