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.

Course in pathetic condition.
It had not rained in several days; however, the
Course was extremely soggy. Middle of fairway was muddy and so were many of the tee boxes. Cement cart paths were warped and had large cracks. Not well maintained!!!! We are not returning.

The cart path is in terrible shape. The fairways are very bumpy. They are just letting this golf course go. I won't be going back to play there anytime soon.

Back 9 could use some TLC.
Front 9 is well maintained, but back 9 could use work. Fun course, but doesn’t compare well to others.

The was not crowded. It was a nice day weather wise. There were places where the fairways were pretty wet. But it still was an enjoyable round.
I played and met a nice guy, and the odds are we will play together again.
