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.

It’s okay
I had fun with my buddy, but the course was pretty boring with hard, fairways with limited grass to hit off of.
For the money, there are many other options.

Home Course, Needs Work
I'm a member here for the unlimited range balls and it's 1 mi. from where I live.
I really wish they put more effort into the facilities because the employees are awesome, respectful, helping, etc. But It's not translated into improving anything. I totally understand the heatwave for summer 2022 and that it affected ALL courses, but stuff like completely sandy tee boxes, extremely dangerous cart path, carts that jolt forward after a lag when pressing the accelerator, a fence bordering the street and golf course that laid broken for weeks, some horrible fairways/greens and much more isn't acceptable for any course, especially one charging $55-$59 on the weekends. There are extremely nice courses in the neighboring area for the same price, many of them cheaper. (Irving GC, Watters, Riverside, to name a few)
I hope management can improve this course and the facilities because as mentioned, the staff is great and I see reviews that this course used to be one of the best in the area. If possible, I'll come back and adjust this review when things change/start to change (for better or worse). - written 8/29/22
