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.

Good course to play
It’s been a while since I last played this course. I forget how nice it was. The course is good shape. There a few drainage issues but nothing that can’t be circumvented. Greens were in great shape but need to rolled out a bit. Fairways were awesome! No cracks in the ground. Tee boxes were good but you can see the age of the boxes (sloping, uneven but there are flat spots. Staff was super friendly and pleasant!

The fairways and greens are in great shape . The cart path needs major work, traps could use some sand. I do however plan to play the course again.

I've been reading GN reviews of Riverchase course for over a year, and decided to give it a try because I read a positive one recently. But many of the reviews already confirmed and definitely it has " the WORST cart path ever." Tee boxes are in rough conditions. I don't recommend.

Always fun
I've played it numerous times over the years. Always had a good experience and always get paired with real fun people. The only issue are the cart paths. They need alot of work but the course itself is great. Will play agin in the future.
