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.

Fairways Have A Lot of Drainage Issues
First time playing here. Course convenient to north Dallas and the North suburbs. Par 71 course layout is well laid out and the greens were decent but the fairways have a lot of areas with poor drainage. Apparently problems with the sprinkler system on a lot of holes. Did not create a lot of problems the day I played but it’s something you would think they would have a better handle on. Also a lot of the T boxes had broken (or non existent) ball washers. Would consider coming back but the problems would make me consider another course first.

Semi difficult course, worth the money
Great course for the value. Fairways are narrow and there’s lots of water, but that makes it a little bit of a fun challenge. Overall very nice experience.
Thank you for your review, Brookeed. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Riverchase Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Return to try again
The sand traps were worse, some with little lakes in them and the cart path had standing water now and seemed worse. But I play this course again to see if its going downhill or are they working to improve it. If it's the latter this could be a great experience with the course layout.
