Type Public
Par 72
Length 7289 yards
Slope 137
Rating 74.5

Bring your best game to the Links at Waterchase--a long, difficult course that can be had if you get your mind right. Intimidating because of its length (7,304 yards), much of the extra yardage comes from five excruciatingly long par 5s. The key here is to manage these holes, get on the green or close in three, then do what you have to do for your pars.

If you play regularly at a local par 3 course, you might want to work in a practice round before taking on The Links, since there’s five par 3s.

Watch out for the enders on each side, which frame the scenic pond and waterfall that are sandwiched between the two greens. No. 9 is a 433-yard par 4, and requires a solid drive on the left side. Pay attention to the pin placement, as there is water behind the green. No. 18 goes 570 yards from the tips, and offers target golf at its best. You’ll need to lay up at least 120 yards from the hole, and keep the approach below the pin to assure yourself of an uphill putt.

Getting there : Located on the east side of Fort Worth at I-30 and Eastchase Pkwy. Take the Eastchase exit and drive north to John T. White Rd. Turn right and drive a short distance, then take the first right on Randoll Mill Rd. Turn left on Creek Run Rd.

Run, Don't Walk... to Waterchase!

Overall, the best experience you'll have in DFW without paying $100+ for the round. Generally, pace of play is great and the course conditions are ALWAYS fantastic. Tons of variety from hole to hole and incredible scenery with multiple elevated tees.

If it's your first time playing the course, bring extra balls... you'll lose a few. But you'll have a great time in the process.

Also... spend time on the putting greens prior to starting your round. The greens here are in much better condition to most public courses, so expect balls to break heavily, release off of slopes, and move quickly downhill.

I enjoyed it so much I decided to buy a membership... I play it 2 - 3 times/week and every round is fun and challenging.

Love the course, did not like the pace

I played this course for the 1st time yesterday. I had always heard very positive feedback from others and generally agree.

I loved the target golf aspect and the mix of some holes in treelined environment while others are more links like. The pins were very tricky as just about all of them were within 10 feet of the green's edge but I liked the challenge.

I was NOT happy with the 5 hour round on a weekday, especially. I did not see a Marshal out there and it was a real downer to my experience. Fortunately, many of the holes had trees to protect us from the sun on a 100+ degree day and this is one of the few courses with water coolers on the course due to COVID.

Overall, I will give it a thumbs up.

1st Timers Beware

Great course and beautifully maintained. First time playing, and played much too aggressive. Lay-ups necessary on several holes and several blind hazards. If it’s your first time, play it safe and layup!

This course is the best course I’ve played so far in Ft. Worth. I’m new to the area and this is where I will be regularly playing. Good deal at twilight on the weekends. The course is a challenge but is a fun layout where good shots are rewarded. The course can play both short and long with wind helping and hurting on about the same number of holes so take advantage of those downwind. There is a lot of risk/reward shots off the tees on par 4s as they aren’t super long but If driver is selected it will have to be hit precisely. The greens are great here as well. The roll true and have nice pace to them. I can’t wait to play here again

Great course

Played on a Saturday morning and it was a 5 hour round, but that was the only downside. Demanding and challenging course with a great layout and good conditions. Definitely will try to play here more often! Excellent course. Might be a too overwhelming for a beginner, so definitely no shame in playing the forward tees here.

Wasn’t terrible but after paying $65 we were stuck with another group of 2. There was at least 4 groups of 4 ahead of us. We waiting at least 10 mins at every Tbox. Our cart started dying on hole 2. Almost didn’t make it back to the clubhouse to exchange it. Other than that the course is in great shape. Wouldn’t hurt to run a brush hog around some of the holes that have 10’ Johnson grass.

Great Place. I will add to my courses to play.

Every coarse has it challenges, this one how ever, LOL had some. The ruff stops the ball good. No extra for you.A lot of Bounces do not pop up but go left or right but not on the green. This is a players coarse. If you make the shot it rewards you. If not, well I am sure you know. But it is not so difficult that you wont have an awesome time. I will be back. I love a good Challenge. LOL Or is that a gluten for punishment. LOL

For a Saturday around noon, it was a very good deal of $50. Greens are still trying to come in from being punched two weeks ago however, fairways and tee boxes in great shape. You would benefit from having a gps layout of the course that they don’t provide, Driving range is so so..

All in all, worth the price.

Outstanding track!

First time playing at Waterchase and I was very pleased with the round. The course drains well especially after last nights heavy downpour. Greens were absolutely perfect, and the difficulty of each hole is perfect for any handicap. I love the idea of shooting left or right on a couple of the holes and finding yourself with a great approach shot still. I can’t wait to return after the course is dry and off cart path. Played in a threesome cart path only and still finished in 3.5 hrs. Will be back!
