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.

please fix the cart paths!
the course has many narrow fairways and some close proximity to adjacent holes making for much interaction with other golfers....course was in average condition but the cart paths are ATROCIOUS - they need some serious work - you are better off driving off the cart paths as much as possible - I have never had more jolting since i went to cedar point and rode multiple roller coasters - please fix this!!

Great if you're a goat
Tee boxes were a s#/tshow greens were horrendous, fairways were good. Greens were aerated and burnt out. Not worth the money. Bathroom sink on front nine course bathroom is literally falling off the wall.
Hi, dewout. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us.

Thank you for playing Riverchase Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
Don’t Go!
Greens have been drilled and are in horrible condition. Don’t waste your time putting. There were no tee times notes to inform of this condition. To top it off, $45 is a ridiculous price for those conditions. We play here about 6 times a year. The cart paths are getting worse. I’d wait at least a week before playing this course.

It's a real fun course and a beauty. Greens need some work but they are fixing them. Had my best shot ever a hole out from 70 yards.
