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.

A little rough
Greens were in good condition and course is ok, but need to spend some money on bunkers and cart paths! Also, the course in general is extremely rough to ride in a cart due to ground conditions (bumps, holes, etc).
Has potential, but...
Tee boxes sucks, uneven, all every sandy with almost no grass and very hard ground. I haven't played golf in a course were tee boxes are so uneven, it's ridiculous and disappointed. Sand traps sucks too, no sand on sand traps. If the city of Coppell would invest on tee boxes and add sand to sand traps this could be a very nice course, until then is below average.

Ok at best
Good ole Texas golf course. Hard pan for fairways and very slow greens. You need to pick the ball clean here tough to hit down on the ball with as hard as the fairways are.

Sketchy condition
Course layout is fine. However, the course is soggy and soft in lots of areas, and rock-hard in others. Played it on a Hot Deal rate, so that was good,but don't think we will be returning. No water on the course, no ball-washers, and conditions were less than average.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, ranger100. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Riverchase Golf Club, and we hope to see you again in the future.
