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.

Decent
Greens were in decent shape, tee boxes were not. The course still has some drainage issues. A few spots with standing water even though it hadn’t rained in the last few days. Pace was good for a Saturday morning.

Improvement Needed
This course has potential to be a great course. They need to replace thier old carts with newer model. fix the cart path and bunkers. It would be nice to have a Marshall to keep the playing pace.

Please consider "Cart path only"
Aalways friendly staff.
We got the rain storms earlier yesterday and today strong Wind and wind gusting was 60 mph...
I asks and suggested when decide "Cart path Only" noted by superintendent of Maintainance or management of club, should made or considered hole by holes or all courses or time bases due to the senior, single or two some players.
We are enjoying the weather and round of golf anyways...
