Rating Snapshot
About
One of Jim Fazio’s first solo projects, Riverchase is a surprisingly tough challenge given its lack of trees and relatively short length. The course runs through the bottomlands of the Elm Fork Trinity River and is loaded with water due to a chain of interconnecting lakes created to collect heavy rains and irrigate the course. While there are no forced carries, water comes into play at least 12 holes, and out-of-bounds is a frequent concern because of the housing community that surrounds the course.
No. 5 is the most difficult rated hole–a long dogleg right par 4 that requires a solid tee shot to be in position to reach the green in two. The approach is long and uphill into a severely back-to-front sloping green with a lake on the right and out-of-bounds and bunkers on the left.
Two holes later, No. 7 is one of the toughest approaches in all of DFW. This hole plays due south into the prevailing wind, and the elevated green has a depth of only about 25 feet. Bunkers line the back, and the slope in front is significant. Ups and downs are difficult because of the slopes in the green. Take a look at the pin placement when you’re teeing off on No. 4.
The good news is that other than out-of-bounds, the course is mostly wide open, so you’ll generally have a shot if you just miss the fairway. The only thick spot for trees is along the creek on holes 14-16.
Getting there : Take the Belt Line exit off of 635 and drive north to MacArthur. Turn right (east) and drive to Riverchase Dr., where you’ll turn left. Look for the course on the right side of the road.

Fun course
The course condition has gotten much better. The fairways and roofs were in fair condition. The green seem to be turning over well and we’re relatively smooth. It is a fun course with a variation of left sweeping holes and right sweeping holes. It has a couple leaks and open holes so for the average golfer, it creates a very fun experience not super challenging but enough to enjoy for all skill levels.

Good course
Good value for the money. Greens are small and challenging. Overall course was in good shape. Cart paths were a little rough. I like the layout.
Will definitely be back.

Very Interesting Course
Though not too difficult, the course provides some interesting holes. Course condition was as good as I have seen. All cracks gone from fairways. All fairways a lush green. Most greens in very good condition with a few exceptions, however, they needed to be cut....very slow.

I was taken advantage of
I called well in advance to cancel our tee time(more than the 24 hours required) and was assured everything was all fine and taken care of only to realize I was still charged for a full round of golf I never played. Shady dealings
We're sorry for the inconvenience. if you're referring to the transaction fee you paid online, those are non-refundable. We apologize for any confusion on this.
Great Day!!!!
Great day on a great course!!! Greens were well manicured and course as a whole was smooth and green.
