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.

Good value for money
Challenging but fair. In reasonably good shape. Fairways extremely bumpy, some of the tees in below average shape but overall, very good value for the money

Rough Ride, but good layout
Like the layout a lot, but the broken concrete cart paths and washboard fairways are a big negative!!
Management must invest some money in smoothing out the back breaking cart paths!!

Nice Layout and elevation with hard fairways
Enjoyed the layout, elevation, and the greens were in pretty good shape. The fairways were hard and patchy, but didn’t ruin the round. Deserves a higher rating than its 3.5, but still has work to be done. There are better courses out there for 40 bucks, but would play again on a hot deal.
