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.

No grilla course

Course was great. Well kept fairway and solid greens. Don't expect to spend any time at the bar as it's non existent. For the money its a great course. Find a bar close by to have a drink after 18.

Solid Course

Probably the best value for weekend golf in DFW. Course was in pretty good shape, just some muddy spots in a few areas. Greens were still a little bumpy, but nothing too bad. Overall, can’t beat that price for a solid course on a weekend.

Terrible Pace

It took almost 5 hours to finish a round. Course was in good/average shape but it didn’t really matter because we spent half of our time sitting in the cart waiting to hit.

Plush

Played numerous local courses this season. Today, Riverside has the best tee boxes, fairways, bunkers of any course I’ve played. Only drawback at all we’re the greens. They held fine and rolled pretty good but they had recently been aerated so they were a bit bumpy. Otherwise, loved the course. Will be back ... soon! Nice job!
