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.

Normal time for golf

Good course, but...
This was a premium course when it opened 30+ years ago. Now, it needs a lot of TLC, $$$, to bring it back to it's former glory. Tee boxes in poor shape, fairways like 'wash boards', lack of course irrigation, cart trails broken and unusable on many holes, etc. Staff is very friendly ad accommodating, however.

No staff response
We had two groups for a special occasion. I tried thre times to connect with someone to preorder food and got no response. We were also greeted at the 9th to say we were 20 minutes behind pace when there wasn't anyone behind us. The carts were old and unreliable as were the cart paths. Just not the "club" experience one would expect.

Riverchase Review
Course was in pretty bad shape. Of course it’s January! Pretty muddy especially in the fairways. Greens were hard and no break to them.
Riverchas is not bad for the money. Pretty easy to get a tee time. I was surprised how rough it was today

Decent last resort
Played this course a number of times. Frankly this is my last resort course. But golf nonetheless.

I used to play this course a lot but stopped because 2 summers ago the course was in bad shape and not worth it. For winter conditions I thought that the course was in pretty good condition. Some of the t boxes even green. The greens roll pretty true. Some really good bunkers and some just average. Overall, I was surprised that the course was enjoyable. I will be back
