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.

Lots of water
Plenty of water to dodge, but ways to bail out. 18 is punitively hard, virtually impossible to par (for a hacker like me). I've played this course many times, and it's always a lot of fun.
Great value!
As members of a higher tier Club Corp course, my friends and I were having trouble locking down early morning tee times. We came across Riverchase and were able to get onto the course early enough on a Sunday as to not make the wives mad. The facilities/clubhouse are definitely not top tier, but inbelieve this is done intentionally, as their efforts are put into the track. We had a considerable amount of rain the night before and were "cart path only" for the first 8 holes. The fairways didn't seem to hold much water and the greens were in great condition. Be sure to pay attention to the GPS on the carts and TRUST them when planning your tee shots. I like playing a course that I'm forced to keep the driver in the bag on a winding par 4. Overall, the experience was definitely a pleasant one. As far as a muni goes, this is one of the better courses. Have fun and enjoy the challenge of the front 9.
Great Round
It was a great day for golf. The pace was very good and the course condition was very inviting!! My friend and I really enjoyed our round and we'll be back!
Good condition
Course in good condition. Very slow play in the middle of round.
Great fairways, greens better a month ago
We played this course a little over a month ago and it was an amazing shape. We went back yesterday and the greens are very splotchy but still rolled pretty good just wasn't in as good of condition as it was before.
Good Lay out
It was a wet one, but the course held up very well. Cart path only was in effect, but it was not a problem for our group. The staff was very considerate and helpful.
Nice course
The green could be better, but overall the course is nice.
Good Day
Overall good play day just too many golfers booked too tight...took over 5 hours to play 18 holes
Slooooowwwww
I understand playing on a nice day on Saturday can be a little crowded, but this was rediculous. 5:15 minutes to get in 18. very poor course management by the staff for not having a masrahall anywhere to be found . More than likely we won't back which is sad because it's a pretty fun track.
Rah Rah Riverside!
Good condition, great layout, friendly staff, good value.
Fun track!
They had a scramble going on that pushed our tee time from 12:15 to 12:45, but they gave us a couple free beers and sent us off on hole 10 and we still finished by 4:00. Fun course with nice greens. A couple par 4s that are drivable from the whites
Nice Day to Play The Front Nine Twice
The course was fun, and the greens were okay, though a bit roughed up with splotches in places. None the less, they still rolled true. The layout is both fun and challenging.
The only bad part was thet there was some sort of high school tournamant going on, and they had definitely overbooked the groups that were to follow the tournament. I had even let a few peole through so I could take my time, since they seemed to be in a hurry, and I know how frustrating slow play can be. That's one reason I had stopped playing here several years ago.
When I reached hole number 10, every group I had let through, as well as three others were all backed up at the tee box.---Seriously--5 groups at one tee box. The guy behind me, who had just finished the front nine saw me backing my cart up, and knowing what I was about to do, asked if I minded if he joined me. The two of us had a great run at the front none, without all the frustration of having to suffer through the glacial pace of play that was taking place ahead of us.
Good Course, high winds, near highway
Good layout and easy if playing whites. Recommend Blue or pace of play gets slow. Airplane noise and highway noise are constant. South wings makes 18th hardest Par4 in metroplex. Enjoy.
Greens Need work
Only complaint is greens need work, the rest of the course a day layout is awesome and challenging
Single digest handicap
Decided to play this course since I am new to the area and it is close to my home. Played at 3:00 on a Monday. Started out as a single. Got behind a 4 some after three holes that would not let me through. Another single caught up to me and we paired up. We followed the foursome for another 5 holes and finally skipped a hole to get in front of them. At hole 14 got behind 2 fives somes and at this point just gave up and quit. Course was still in pretty rough shape with many bare spots especially around the greens.
Not blaming the course for the group not letting us play through, but two fivesomes back to back???
