About
Riverside Golf Club is appropriately named. The course sits in a floodplain along the Trinity River with water in play on seemingly every hole. This is a combination links-style/traditional layout that is surprisingly difficult for a municipal course. Great holes abound on the Roger Packard layout, which requires the rare combination of length and accuracy when playing from the tips.
Holes 4-6 offer one of the better stretches of golf, starting with a 462-yard par 4 that is cut in the landing area by pesky fairway bunkers, and features a long approach into an elevated green that is surrounded by water and slopes back-to-front. Club down on no. 4 because leaving it short still offers the chance for an up-and-down. No. 5 is a good par 3, especially from the middle tees where it generally plays as a short iron. Watch for the front pin placement, which can leave you with a long downhill putt if the tee shot is too long. Water looms to the right but it takes a bad shank to dunk it in the drink. No. 6 goes 543 yards, doglegging left along the Trinity with water fronting the green. The tee shot must be long and straight, and anything too far right leaves a precarious second shot around the bend.
The back side is the more fun of the two, taking you through good combinations of holes that offer excellent birdie opportunities if you’re on your game. You'll need those birds when you come down the home stretch.

First week after the "Dallas Freeze".
Nice to be playing again. Cool, grass dry but still a good ball roll. Greens were slippery. Still a very challenging round of golf.
Pace of play 0 stars
Booked 18, took 2 hours and 45 minutes to get through 9. No marshal. Driving range was closed because they ran out of balls. Practice green by the clubhouse hasn’t been cut since 1995. No cart girl on a friday. Conditions were decent and layout looks like it could be fun, wish I could’ve seen the back. A couple of holes running parallel cause issues, almost got hit a couple times. Pace of play made the round unenjoyable.
Great layout but conditions going downhill
Always love this place. It’s a fantastic layout. Bunkers are amazing. Unfortunately every bunker was a complete mess. I think they were concentrating more on getting rid of all of the super high weeds all around the water which in some cases you couldn’t even see the green because these weeds were so high I don’t know why they just don’t stay on them constantly instead of letting them just go crazy but the greens are always fantastic. It’s just there’s a lot of mud in some areas as well where your ball just get stuck just off the green instead of rolling.

Really good course if was challenging and was kept up really well
For the price. Needs some work on their golf cart quality. Having no spectators on the weekend is bummer and having to be paired with a random who threw his clubs was an even bigger bummer. Overall it was nice. Just wouldn’t go by myself on the weekend
Awful- multiple 5 somes no one out here knows what they are doing. Slowest round of my life. 0 stars
