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.

Perfect Day with 3 new friends
From the nice greeting when I arrived until I turned the cart in the staff was friendly & nice. I played with 3 fun guys I'd never met before Jai, Julio & Brian. We had fun. I shot one of my better rounds because of the entire environment & my new playing buddies. Still learning how to play (never ending of course) but this is a good course to teach you new lesson.

Good value for the challenge
Course was in good shape. Greens in excellent shape. Course has narrow fairways on some holes and long par 4’s on others. If you hit it straight, you’ve got potential to score well. If you’re all over the place, you’re going to have a high score. Was definitely worth the money I paid to play

Rough for March
I play year round and the tee boxes were a disaster for March, the greens were dinged up and seemed to have loads of scuff marks even no one really has cleats anymore and no rangers anywhere and a foursome was 2 holes behind and seemed no one cared. Not returning for 50 bucks. Worth it at 30 bucks, but not 50.
