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.

Nice time at Riverchase
Except for some of the tee boxes being a bit sketchy and the bunkers needing sand, I thought the course was in very good shape. The staff is super nice and the range has a good short game area as well.
Good value for the money
Played this course for the first time and was very pleased. The staff was super friendly and helpful, they worked to make the day fun. Only issue was club house cafe was not open until 11am so getting coffee or Bloody Mary before round was not an option. That was only issue the course was in great shape greens were firm and fast, only area of issue was on some of the tee boxes.
All in all a great day and I will be back.

As compared to other local courses; ball washers still not available, cart path and fairways are in rough shape, and carts not cleaned well and could use replacement.

Great course; terrible carts
I love the course layout and it was in pretty decent shape. However the cart was probably the worst I've ever experienced in terms of ride. I don't know if we just happened to get one with no shocks or what, but it was extremely bumpy, almost to the point of injury. If I ever go back I will definitely check the carts first.
Great value!
I have played all over and for a quick outing - go check it out! I will be back for sure
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round, righty327! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Riverchase Golf Club.
Fix the Cart Paths
Use to be a wonderful course, but owners are not putting money into maintenance!! Cart paths are terrible and ruined our experience!!
