It pains me to write this review because I enjoy this layout and the staff has always treated me well. I used to play this course considerably more a few years ago and today I realized why I stopped. This course is going downhill.

The greens were very very bumpy. 1 and 12 are in poor condition with many bare spots. Even when the greens look decent they roll slow and bounce all the way to the hole.

The tee boxes were very shaggy. Making par 3s a little tougher than they should be. They are also very uneven, more than I ever remember.

The rough is not consistent. Patches of deep rough, bare spots and mud are everywhere.

The flies are around and pestered us all through the front 9.

It is not enjoyable when the condition of the course continually gets in the way of your score.

They have no maintenance planned.

One the plus side, if you are a GolfExtra member they are running a weekend deal. Show up as a walk on during the weekend and play for $24. Even at the low cost the course was not an enjoyable play today.

Played 5/19/08. This was a very nice course for the price. Depending on what time you play make sure you take bug spray. We teed off at 7:22am and had to deal with nats for the first 5 or 6 holes. Some of the greens were not in the greatest shape but they were all managable. I do plan on going back.

Greetings,
OK, They plued the greens just a couple of weeks ago granted, but come on, I have never putted a green so rough in my life. The foursome I was golfing with established a general rule of 2 put max. Seriously a 15' put would chatter 4 to 6 inches off line.
The rest of the course was in fair shape and worth the $. I really like the layout but I probubly not be back till they clean up the greens. But I will be back.

First time playing the course as well as a first time post. I really enjoyed the course. First it is not the most lush course I have ever played, but couple the conditions with the $29 Greens Fee (cart included) I paid and it was outstanding. Good place to go and enjoy yourself. Being a single player I was placed with a twosome (my choice as I could have played alone) and they were both very nice folks. One gentlemen had brought his wife and she had her own cart and would help look for golfballs and would even tend the pin. I felt like I should have tipped her (lol). All in all a nice course for the price.

Over all a great coarse for the green fees. Afternoons do get windy and will definately test your ability with large trees and tight fairways. This coarse will make you controll your game.

Played the course 4/4/2008. The course is in excellent shape. The fairways are well prepared. The greens are good except it is a little slow for my liking. It is set at a very open area along the Santa Ana River. The price is best value that I can find in the So Cal area. My only complain would the bunkers. They have virtually no sand and lots little pebbles that can damage your club

Got out just before noon today. Foursome let me play through on the 2nd hole. Clear sailing after that - less than 4 hours to finish. Greens were rolling evenly, except for occasional debris. Wind is not as bad on other side under the railroad bridge past 2nd hole. Wish got more range balls for $4 token. Staff was professional and courteous.

Played 3/21/08 in a company tournament. There were some bare spots on the few fairways and gnats to deal with from 3 to 8. A couple of greens were a bit abused with heavy divot damage. The cart lady was came around quite often. The marshals were following us as if we were criminals. They finally stopped around the 10th hole. The workers were very helpful.

PLayed the course for the first time in over five years. This used to br a primo course but it is just a mediocre track now compared to the new courses that have opened in the Corona/Chino area. Fairways are mixture of many grasses, greens are very bumpy, rough is non-existent, snack shacks are closed and one cart attendent for two courses. These courses should be put out of their misery and turned into houses.

Palyed saturday 2/16/08 before noon as a member of tournament group.I played several times at orange course but riverside seems to never played before here. Surprise was huge being $50 golf course from tee boxes to greens.Good conditions nothing to complain except snack shop at turn felt little bit expensive .I think now is culminated moment of green river-riverside course.

tonyellis - Apple Valley 
Played 12-12-07 @ 9:30am. Club house guys and starter were all nice and helpful for our two groups. Started right away and on time.

Greens: Mostly fast with some rough spots and tough to keep putts on line.
Fringes and areas around the green: Mostly crab grass so make sure you have excellent chipping and pitching abilities or just take out the Texas wedge,--otherwise you'll have a tough time.
Fairways: Good with few thin lies.
Rough: Fairly short, but consistant.
Bunkers: Firm but very playable.

Overall condition would be a 7 out of 10 mainly due to the greens.

Impressions: This is the first time I've played here and even though I didn't like the roll of the greens very much, I loved the layout which included lots of doglegs, small greens and plenty of very pretty holes lined by trees, lakes and a river. Fairways were for the most part pretty wide and the course takes driver out of your hand from #11 - #15, where the course becomes a shot-makers delight. #16 is a great par 5 that stretches to 577 yards from the blues and has a mother of a tough green. We're definitely coming back!

Good course over all. Punched greens about 2-3 weeks ago, so a bit bumpy still, but headed to great shape! Lot's of leaves all over the course, so it's hard to find the ball, even down the middle.

This is my second time @ Riverside course in 3 weeks. The first time we experienced the course under Santa Ana wind condition and our game was truly tested, and we barely passed. The condition then prior to aerating was excellent. Currently it is recovering nicely and we all love it. The trick here is figuring out the valley wind and picking the right club. The layout is moderately challenging. The greens run true and very straight forward. I only wish #18 is slightly longer -- it would make a tough finish to your round as it did during the windy condition when I had to replace my normal 9iron 140yd shot with 5 iron up the hill.

Greens were just punched a couple of days ago. The staff warned us when we called for our tee times and was offered a discount. This is how good customer service works. Greens still have a lot of sand. Overall the course was in good conition. Roughs had a lot of downed trees, branches and leaves from the winds. Hopefully they will pick them up soon.

Nice new carts, course is coming back into very nice shap, still a couple bad spots on a few greens, but wow have they done a nice job working on this course. Starter had some serious issues, not sure why we were sent out after a group whos tee time was 15 minutes later than ours, his explinationwas that they want to pair us with another twosome, but then no one else showed up. So we played as 2 behind a 4 some all day but it was a good pace of play.

Considering how dry recent months have been here, I think the maintenance staff has done a good job of managing the fairways. For the most part, tee boxes and greens were in acceptable conditions. Greens, however, are in mediocre to less than mediocre conditions. Players who miss the fairways here will have to deal with large mature trees throughout the course. It's also difficult to find errant balls around a lot of fallen leaves. The course rotates mostly new to newer golf carts now, and that is a big plus. The round took approximately four and 1/4 hours for our threesome on a weekday morning.

The greeens are in very bad shape... I guess that's why it was so empty on the Riverside. The pro shop never said a word, it was like a ghost town, the parking lot was only 1/3 full... even the regulars are staying away until the mess is cleaned up. $52 for a weekend round is very reasonably but I'm taking Green River off my list of courses that are worth playing because it's only worth half that with those conditions. I've heard that there's a $8 discount coupon that can be downloaded but even with the discount it's not worth it. Wait until the course is cleaned up before playing.

The greens are in bad shape right now, but I was told that up front. The sand has been poor for as long as I 've been playing here. I still like this course because of the layout and location. It has become one of my all time favorites.

Bogey1Fogey38 - Pico Rivera 
Played today 5/21, 8AM. Well the course is sill in mediocre shape as mentioned before. The greens are still thin, dry in places, and balding. Fairways were in decent shape, some had dry areas, the rough was around 3", some areas were covered with leaves which made ball hunting difficult. Played in under 4 hr. $28 w/cart using Red Dot. Orange side was closed. Heard that there may plans to close the Orange 18 for development - anyone able to confirm this?.

Ok, I just don't understand why management can just say, "our greens are completely terrible and we are discounting tThen, after we paid, the Starter mentions how terrible the greens are... Oh well.. Its too bad this course is so horrible. I think it has a GREAT layout and located in a beautiful spot. What a waste if management can't get this course up to a premium golf course. Only worth it if you play in the weekday mornings.

played green river (riverside) today. Teed off 245 pm 22.00 w/cart. Pace of play was fine finished in 3:45. The greens are bare in a lot of places, but they still roll fairly quick. If you are planning to play the course soon be aware that the greens may not be as green as you like them. Overall, always a nice time here if you are in the area give it a try.

A very good traditional layout. Greens are coming back into shape and have very few bare spots, although they are still bumpy in many areas. Fairways are in good shape, but can be bumpy due to different types of grasses that clump up. The staff is very friendly and the rates are reasonable, especially for seniors.

Nothing fancy or special about this course, but just a nice traditional layout with mature tress everywhere. It gets little challenging when winds howl, but still fun to play this course from time to time. Fairways look a bit more brown than normal, but that's probably due to very dry winter season we had. Took about 4 1/4 hours to play the round.

Played on Tuesday afternoon. First time to play on this course. Need to keep the ball on the fairway and keep your eyes on your ball because very hard to find the balls under the leaf drops. Greens are small - some were very bumpy. Like to come back around summer time and see how the course looks will all the trees with leafs on them. Regular green fees are too high and reasonable Twilight fees are best to play for this kind of course.

The cold Winter has taken its toll on Green River. I played the course just a few months ago, and things definitely changed. The fairways were brown, but still had dormant grass to hit from. Sand traps were still good. The tee boxes and greens however, deteriorated since I last played. Some holes were better than others, but overall, had a good time and enjoyed the layout. Given we finished in 4 1/2 hours, I'd rather play here, with less than perfect conditions, than a 6 hour round at a muni.

Played 12/18/2006. Teed off at 6:40 AM, it was cold and windy. The course is in pretty bad shape now. The only good part about this course is the green. The greens are pretty nice, roll true, but inconsistent speed. A lot of bare grounds around courses. Fairway is dry and brown at most part of golf course. Tee boxes are in bad shape, too. Too many bare spots and uneven lie. I will definately not go back there again until the condition is improved!

Every time I play the Riverside course, I remember just how lovely it is, with the trees, hills, lake, etc. The course is in decent condition, not great, but very nice. It's a pleasure to walk around this old style traditional track early in the morning with the sun shinning through the trees. A great way to start the day. (And the course is easy enough to allow some good numbers, which makes it just that much more enjoyable)

I played mid-morning today (Sunday) and I have to say that the course is in the best condition I have seen. The greens, which used to be shaggy and slow, have improved to a consistent, moderate speed. Tee to green, the course is interesting and very playable.

My only complaint is the pace of play. A five and a half hour round in Corona when its 101 degrees stops being golf and starts being a triathlon at about the fourteenth hole.

Remember when the golf magazines and many prominent public courses were banging the drum about slow play? Maybe golf courses should make golfers pay after their rounds and charge by the hour like they do at pool halls.

thn626 - Costa Mesa 
The course is in very nice shape. It is very lush and the cool wind make the condition very pleasant. What most impress me was the greens. Although it was a bit lush and would do for a good mow, it was consistent but most of all very smooth. Once I got acustom to the speed, it was a good day on the green. The hard part was getting on the green. What surprise me was the thickness of the rough. It was so thick that the ball would sit up on top of the rough. You better pick it clean out of these rough. Unless your name is Tiger, hacking and chopping out these rough will not get you far. The few fairways I found were also in very good shape. The course has wide fairways and large greens. The only difficulty is avoiding the trees and negotiating the wind. Used an email special and played the early afternoon for $26 with a cart. For this price it was worth the greens fee. It is regularly $44 with a cart. I went out as a single and was able to finished in 3 hours( after a 5some and 4some let me play through).

Played here again on Sat. 07/15/2006. Course again is never in bad shape. Played in a tourney and not much has changed since my last post a month ago. Leaves are still everywhere and a noticeable breeze was lingering all day. Again becase of the leaves, keep your eye on your ball. Course is relatively flat with mature trees. Only thing is the train tracks cut through the course and it seems like the train comes by every 15 minutes. I think the train engineers like to play games and blow their horns the whole time they cut throug just trying to throw off some golfers. Some of the greens are showing some signs of yellowing but it's not affecting roll...yet. For the cost and conditions, I enjoy playing this track and will be back soon.

dlsnake - Laguna Hills 
Played Sun. 06/11/2006, tee time of 11:30 am with a 5some (all must ride). The course was relatively empty and we played at a farily good pace without to much waiting. The course is in a wind tunnel so depending on the day the wind can really pick up. Even on a good day the wind is noticeable but not unmanageable. Yesterday was one of those noticeable days. The cart girls were all over the course. We must have seen them every other hole which is rare these days. Needless to say we were well taken care of. There also must have been 4-5 marsahlls out there keeping the pace up. Conditions here have always been good. Faiways are kind of dry but still green with some yellow patches. Greens are in good conditions and very receptive, some ball marks but that's not the courses fault. You can't ask for much more at a muni course. Very mature tracks with plenty of Mature trees. So depending on the season, that means Lots and Lots of leaves, so keep your eyes on the ball because the leaves do a good job of camouflaging them . WIth the wind the course is fun to play often because it's always a different course. Cost is fair and they are even in the red dot book too.

Played super twilight at 2pm on a Sunday for $17. Not bad at all. Especially after the rain damage early last year, I like the Riverside course mich better than the Orange course (some holes shortened to ridiculous lengths and layouts). Conditions were ok. The wind is always a factor here. Not sure if worth the regular weekend green fee, but for twilight rates, it's a nice track. The starters are always friendly.

This course is NOT in great condtion. Probalby the worst it's been in a few months. Most of the fairways are patchy with dead/dormant spots. Greens very inconsistent from hole to hole. Not worth full primetime rate, barel worht twilight rate. Pace of play same as always for Green River on a weekend....4 hours 45 minutes. There are courses that cost les in better condition right now. In a few months though Green River will be back to being a very nicely conditioned track.

Course was in very nice condition! The greens did not look that quick, but were surprisingly fast. Fairways, rough, all in decent condition. Got to the course and were able to tee off 25min ahead of our tee time, but still took 4hr 10min to finish because of groups in front of us. Since the last time I played here they changed #10 to a par 5. (Makes it a better hole) and increased #2 to 189yds. I prefer the "new" course - now a par 72

played this course (riverside course) 10/30. i forgot how nice this course actually is. besides the loud train every now and then, the course is in good condition. although the previous post was right about the fringe being re-seeded.
after the riverside course we had some time to play the orange course with the discounted replay fee. orange course was more narrower and shorter (the smell was pretty terrible). looked like they were working on the first few holes: alt. greens, terrible tee boxes, (i think this part of the course was damaged from the rains?).
anyhow, good course and will be back for more.

Justin - Redondo Beach 
My 1st time here. This course is a fun challenge. It is not overly difficult but you can pay a price for not keeping it on or near the fairway. The trees are large in size and in number. If you are in the trees you are usually forced to play the safe punch back onto the fairway. WATCH YOUR TEE SHOT! - it is common (especially now in the fall) to find your ball hidded undear a leaf in the middle of the fairway. Leaves everywhere! - except the greens "which is nice". #1 (par 4) and #15 (par 3) both have highly elevated tee boxes which are always fun. Greens are medium/fast and smooth. The only real negative was that many of the Frindges are being reseaded now. This is not only an eye sore, but also not very putter friendly. All of the clubhouse facilities are very nice (restaurant, Pro shop, snack bar). The cart girl was there at all the right times. Grass driving range is nice but you can only hit it 150 yards before hitting the back net.

Overall a fun challenging course.

This is what a golf course should be. Conditions were great, customer service was perfect and the price was good.

Played this course 10/02/05. Actually the course was in very nice shape. Tee boxes ragged, but fairways good and greens although sandy, were very fair. Wind kicks up very badly on back nine, which wears you down quickly. Pace of play very slow. Nice job getting this course back into shape, guys. Will definately play again soon.

Hard to believe there once was a time when we were happy to play courses like this. The gnats/flys were oppressive, the fairways marginal, the greens over watered to the point of being spongy, the tee boxes thin, the customer service non existent, but heck - it is cheap. Spend the few extra bucks and play Los Serranos or Goose Creek. Either one is only 15 minutes away from this tired old course.

I must say, I was very pleasantly surprised at how well the riverside course is. I haven't played that side in a long time, and now with the change of scenery (mudslides) of some of the orange course holes, I was duely impressed. The course was in very good shape, from tee to green. Good job guys, I think I might actually play here more often- I should, I only live 2 miles away.

Last time we played this course (4/16) it was well worth the greens fees, but still needed work. Green River is constantly on the discount golf sites for under $35, and for that amount it's a good deal. Paying full price here is just dumb. Could be a great track with a bit more TLC, but still a nice round of golf.

Cheesburger - there is a separate listing for the Orange Course.

O.K., O.K. - I know - the place was under water and 43-tons of rock and sand, but, still, my God...what a mess! There were about 4 decent greens in 18 holes (we played the Orange Course). The fairways were uneven and weedy and needed a good mowing.....well, at least the parts that were not so thin you could see dirt were! With all of the really fine premium golf available to us here in SoCal (Oak Quarry, Goose Creek, Lost Canyons, Trilogy, Strawberry Farms, et. al.) - I don't know why anybody would want to play this course. Ugh.

The course is under water as I drove by on the 91 fwy due to the releasing of water from the Prado dam. It looks like a river running through it at this time. It looks pretty much ruined at this point. Call course for more details as it's probably closed.

Can be challenging off the tee with doglegs both right and left. Don't expect much roll on the fairways, the grass tends to be a little longer than most courses. Keeping the ball in play is critical because the rough and foilage can made finding wayward shots difficult. Greens played fairly slow although the coverage was very good. drive by us once

Take an extra club on all fairway shots.... Crabgrass just grabs your club and stops it. Getting a good stace is also difficult due to very uneven hitting surfaces (including tee boxes). Over all the golf was nice, had a 1/2 off coupon and paid $16.00 to walk, so it was worth the green fee.

Decent place to practice. Riverside course is much more peaceful than OC side. Price is right. Play during the week but my experience says you'll in for a 5+ hour round on weekends. Course is in good condition - no complaints there.

Played 6/14 First time here. Found the wind to be about 20 plus MPH. The course is a fairly good layout. Good amount of left and right doglegs. You'll get a lot of chances to use all the shots in your bag. Greens were a little inconsistent, mostly slow then all of a sudden, like putting on tile!!! By the way the snack bar is not after the 9th hole. It's after the 11th hole I believe? I really needed a hot dog after the 9th . On the plus side all the par 3's were very good holes to play. Will be back in the future.

Played Riverside course on Labor Day. Winds were calm and very nice day to play. Overall course was in good shape. Greens were a bit bumpy in places but were very receptive. You need to try to control your spin on the greens that slope back to front.

Played in gusty (30+) winds, so this otherwise simple course played tough! As a result the greens were rock hard and fast. The fairways have very little grass and are very thin, very brown, Obviously not overseeded. Nice track, just needs some TLC.

Had not played Riverside Course in some 6 months - appears major new effort had been taken to make greens firmer and to cut down grass around the front of the greeens to allow runup, bump and run or putting options from that area - this was as good as I have ever seen this area of the course play. Green River courses have always been a little ragged in terms of the overall condition but the greens and the area around them had clearly been attended to with care and it really made the course a lot more fun to play. Nice job - credit to the super and his staff for turning around this part of the golf course and making it a little more fun to play. Hey - at $17 for the Super Twilight rate to get in some 15-16 holes, not a bad deal on a Saturday afternoon for the cost-conscious!

THE ONLY REASON THE VALUE WAS GOOD, IS BECAUSE I GOT AN ON-LINE DISCOUNT. I WOULD NOT BE PLEASED IF I PAID REGULAR COURSE RATE. THE FAIRWAYS NEED MORE T-L-C. THE WERE HARD LIKE CONCRETE, I DID GET EXTRA ROLL. BUT, HIT FROM THE FAIRWAY WAS NOT A JOY. I PREFERRED HITTING FROM THE ROUGH. ROUGH WERE THIN FOR ROUGHS, BUT HITABLE. SOME OF THE GREENS WERE REALLY BAD. THEY GET TOO MANY HACKERS THAT DO NOT HAVE THE ETIQUETTE TO REPAIR DIVOTS. BUT 75% OF THE GREENS LOOKED PRETTY GOOD, THOSE HACKERS COULDN'T REACH THEM ON A FLY. SAND TRAPS WERE SOMETIMES HARD WITH POOR QUALITY SAND IN IT. PACE WAS A BIT SLOW FOR A FRIDAY TOO MANY WALKERS. I WISH THEM WOULD SPEND A FEW BUCKS AND GET THE CART AND DO THEIR CARDIO AT A GYM, LIKE I DO. OH WELL? THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS VERY GOOD THEY A VERY PUNCTUAL. I DO NOT KNOW IF I'LL PLAY HERE AGAIN SOON, MAYBE LATE SPRING OR EARLY SUMMERS.

Played on 11/18 and course is the best condition in many years. Greens are medium- fast and rolling pretty smoothly. Not even very many leaves on the course. I stayed away from these two courses for about three years because of the terrible conditions: bare greens, bad tee-boxes, heavy (almost un-playable) rough and a complete layer of leaves almost everywhere, but I've played here twice recently and I'll be back.

Both courses are in good shape. The greens are faster than they look. This makes it easy to run your putt 4or 5 feet by. The fairways and rough is nice. This year is the best condition I have ever seen these courses since 1990. My only complaint is the tee boxes. Some are nice but some have thin grass making for divots and uneven ground. The weekday walking fee of 32 dollars is not really worth it for these courses. I played 36 holes with the 2nd round being a 10 dollar replay rate to walk which made it more worth the fee. The Riverside Course has a much nicer and quiet setting for golf. This course, however, is less challenging than the Orange Course.

played early morning, no wind, nor were leaves a problem, I throughly enjoyed the game. I will put the Riverside course at Green River on my return to play list. Keep the leaves off the course, and don't change the greens keeper i'll be back.

Played a golf extra tournament and felt the course was pretty ok.
I do not understand why the ratings for the course was so low. It deserves much more credit. Yeah, the fairways were a little choppy, the tee boxes were not level for all of them and the greens did not really accept shots well, but it was an overall enjoyable golf round. I think the price for the course was ok. Certainly, no reason for the course to be rated less than 5.

Best "bargain golf" in the area - for $26 you can play with a cart during SuperTwilight and jump around amongst various holes to get in far more than 18 holes before dark. Riverside course is best for beginners or learners - I take my kids there because they don't loose a lot of balls and there is nobody there in the late afternoon to let play through. Greens are only fair but otherwise it's just basic golf with lots of wind and some pretty wide-open fairways. Back 9 is a lot more testing on this course as it winds through forests of trees and across SA River a couple of times.

I’ve been playing this course almost as long as I’ve been playing golf (1973). I like to go back at least 6 times a year to relive the days my father, brothers and I had the first tee time every Friday. I’m sorry to say 6/27/03 was the last time I’ll play this cow pasture. I’ll put up with the poorly maintained, over ball marked and diseased ridden greens. I’ll put up with the slow play and the afternoon wind but there are two things at Greenriver I won’t put up with any longer. First there are the bunkers. They are the worst I have ever seen. Half of them are hard as concrete and the other half are filled with “sand” that contains rocks. Actually, you should say it’s rocks that contains some sand. They must just be getting sand from the local river bed to save some bucks. The problem with that is my wedges are not from the local river bed and actually cost me some money. I’d rather not get dings on them hitting a simple sand shot. Our foursome decided to play the bunkers as “Ground under Repair”.
The second and biggest reason I won’t set foot on this place again is because of the deteriorating customer service. From the ‘clerks’ (calling them pro’s would be unjust to the real golf pros out there) in the pro shop who have so many stupid little rules that by the time you get to the first tee your blood pressure is through the roof. My favorite is if you want to hit a warm up bucket you have to pay for the bucket then go back when you’re ready to tee off before paying for your green fees. They really don’t want anyone hitting warm up balls. A couple of months ago we had over forty minutes until our tee time so we went to the range (which is irons only by the way)and they kept calling us and calling us to come to the pro shop. We got sick of being called so one member of our group went up to pay and was told to come back and pay “when you’re ready to hit the tee”. Hey, there’s a nice relaxing way to warm up before a round. Plus three trips to the pro shop before paying for your round is a very efficient use of the clerks time. No wonder the phone rings so much when you call.
Add to that the fact that your tee time is only an estimate. If you’re early they try to rush you to the tee. If somebody is late they still let them play. All of this still adds up to rounds that are over 5 hours long.
On top of that the employees I’ve encountered lately are just plain rude. Here’s a tip. If you hate your job that much find something else to do.
Since Greenriver’s green fees are no bargain unless you’re under a court order I suggest you play anywhere else.
I could go on and on about this toilet but I’ll save it for the radio show

Played 6/30/03. What a disappointment. If the green fees were $5.00 I may come back.
But then again I may not.
The greens have to rate near the top for the all time worst in the state. Very bumpy, slow and major bare spots.
The layout in nice and this could be a great track but no without some MAJOR repairs and maintenance. Lost balls in the leaf litter is pretty common here as well as the other GR course.
Just a all around waste of my day.
