Riverside Golf Club

Good time and nice course. Got paired up with 2 good guys.

Course was challenging, but attribute it to being a bad golfer. But was still fun course to play. There was a bit of a fair way pile up with the layout, tricky when you play like me. But moved on quickly.

It was a 6 hour pace on Sunday. They ran out of range balls, ran out of carts. They booked tee times too close together to maximize the cost, and the experience suffers greatly. And their rate stays the same.

Riverside has always been a great layout; very fun to play but built in the Trinity River flood plain, the course had had it's challenges with erosion. Unfortunately, it would appear as if the maintenance budget at Riverside is eroding as well. The bunkers, which are always in play, are unplayable. The greens which are always fast, were extremely bumpy. They need to be rolled. Fairways are okay, but there are some thin patches which isn't unusual for February. Saturday was a very pretty day so everyone was out playing; the round was slow and there were no Marshalls around to keep things moving. Bottom Line: ARCIS Golf need to invest some money into Riverside to return it to being the course it can be.

First if you’re playing on a weekend you can’t expect to play alone. Course gets packed.. and if you see carts 6 deep it’s for upcoming tee times… carts run off batteries that take a while to charge. Sorry your gf couldn’t see you dribble the ball 150 yards down the fairway. And the guy who brought his dogs… cmon bro!

Anyway.. I try and play here once a week. Always shoot low. Greens never disappoint, (unless punched). I play weekdays so it’s never too crazy… sometimes it gets slow.. if you’re new to golf or have god forbid 6 people playing.. pick up, drop, or let people play through. It is the greatest game but I am sick of seeing people leave bad reviews on these golf courses for their own faults. Hope to see you out there, my name is shanti, go by Sean.. The wonderful lady working behind the counter is always a gem!

Oh!! Pick your tee boxes accordingly.. if you drive it 200-230… please play whites.. it’s ok we won’t laugh at you.. it makes the game faster.. 90% of you are white tee box guys.. you will have a better day for it.

Took my golf partner and his fiancé to RS for his birthday, they refused to rent us a second cart, the then proceeded to tell us no spectators on the weekend, when we offered to pay for her to play they refused then Said they didn’t have enough carts, although there were 2 rows of carts 6 deep. When we asked to play a later tee time to allow her to go with us, they refused.

Started us on 10 but sent our partner 2 some out 15 mins before us, so we had to travel 2 holes in to bring the other 2 some back to start, after that mismanagement, the marshal chased us down on hole 12 and told us to speed up, even though it was they’re fault we started late.

Course is in the worst condition of any in the dfw area, and no respect for senior golfers, won’t be back to this wasteland until the management changes. Disrespectful at the very least. Embarrassed to to even mention this outing.

The greens were well kept and fast, tee boxes were immaculate, and the fairway was in good shape. This is a really good value course that if they put some money in could be a real gem. No cart girl and the bunkers need work.

Friendly staffs at pro shop.

Happy Veterans day!!!

No Marshall's... end of the 18 holes.

Waisting times every holes.. 4 hours 50 minutes.

Who knows why???

Thanks

Apparently you don’t have to worry about being on time at this course, and you might be penalized if you are. We were there at 1040 for an 1152 tee time. There was a group booked for 1145, that hadn’t showed up to the starter by 1145. We were told a 2-some was going the 2 of us. It’s 1152, we are waiting for the fairway to clear. The 1145 group shows up and they pull us off the tee. Took 2 hours & 50 minutes to play 9 holes. Left after 13. Won’t be back for a long time
