Riverside Golf Club

It's been at least a year since I last played Riverside. The course was in great shape, with smooth-rolling greens. The fairways were in good shape, but over-watered with soggy areas and standing water in some places. Riverside has greatly improved the sand bunkers. Before some of the bunkers were hard-packed dirt/sand, whereas now the bunkers are all sand. There were some holes with small piles of sand in the bunkers waiting to be spread.

Pace of play was good for about the first 5 holes, then we waited on every shot for the remainder of the round. Total time of play was about 4.5 hours, but it could have been 30 minutes less.

We saw the cart-girl 5 or 6 times during the round, which I considered often enough.

The gas-power carts are equipped with GPS which worked great for yardage. The cart did not have the small club/ball washer unit, which I think is a plus.

Overall, I was impressed with the course conditions, and seeing improvements being made. We will play Riverside again, soon.

I have been to this course years ago and it was a bit rough. It is much improved. Huge advantage to golf it a few times versus one time. Fairways are pretty nice and greens good. Strategy is important as positioning on the fairway helps a lot. You can lose balls easy if you start spraying your drives. Great course for the money.

The manager and Pro Jay is very friendly but one of his employee name Joe leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Joe is bad for business there. Due to his Demeanor, I cancelled my tee time right there on the spot. Don't love golf that much to endure joe's mis-handling.

This is my go to course as it is close to my house. It's in great shape considering the time of year and what most courses should look like now. There are some "easy" holes and there are some deceptively hard holes. $20 after 4 is hard to beat.

This local course has a great layout an plays well.

Very good course conditions. Do not let the recent flooding scare you away.

Great course for the money. Great greens, awesome fairways, great staff, a must play!

Excellent fairways greens in great shape

This course had been shut down since November due to flooding. Then it changed management companies and opened for the spring a month and a half late. You would have thought they would have done all the work while they were closed and cleaning up, but there is a LOT of construction from sewage to cutting down trees. One Par 4 (15) is a Par 3 by tee'ing off at the 150 marker. The greens have been recently punched and they went too deep making grooves in the greens, no break on the balls. The day we went, they had severely over watered to the point the first tee was a marsh pit and we had to tee off illegally just to get a footing. At least the carts are fairly new, however the scorecard kept booting and loosing our scores. Such a beautiful course before and I hope it returns to the potential it could have.

good course and easy to access.

Played in the afternoon twilight for $20! Great value and we finished in under 4 hrs to boot! Nice outing!

Course is in pretty good shape. They could use a starter

Why was there not a Marshall anywhere to be seen?! We played behind a foursome where one person in the group constantly stayed on his (flip) phone!! On the green, on the tee box, even in the fairways!! After we finally got fed up and realized there would be no "Marshall to the rescue", a member of my group approached them--and after we returned a club they left on a previous hole--and reminding them the condition for returning the club was they had to pick up there pace--their explanation was the group in front of THEM was playing slowly! Again though--why no marshalls?

As of 7/1/16 they have added GPS back to the carts. This is a nice little course and GPS makes it that much nicer for the cost and experience. I play here almost once every two weeks and I enjoy myself each time. Greens are a little slow compared to the country club I used to belong to, but that is to be expected given that this is a public course. I will continue to book rounds here.

Wonderful course! There was no one tailing us the entire time, unlike other courses where they stack everyone after one another. It's a beautiful, challenging course that's worth every cent.

Easy access and beautiful location!

Just started this Game 2.5 yrs ago at

Course opened back up after a 6 month closure. This course is great! Fairways and greens are in excellent shape.

Facility does need a new / updated club house.

I've lived in Dallas for about 7 months now and I've only gotten to play a few courses so far - I think this was the best one I've played yet.

The layout is pretty challenging and it varies. Some fairways are narrow and lined with trees to one side and a hazard on the other, some are wide open and you can miss a full fairway to the right and play down that fairway and still par, but those greens will be heavily protected by bunkers, water, or both.

The greens are relatively quick (fastest I've played yet at least) but it's not like putting on glass. Some of the greens are incredibly small, so if you're not a high caliber iron player than expect to be chipping from around the green a decent amount.

All the holes are fair (none where you have to hit a 9 iron off the tee on a par 5) and it gives a pretty good challenge. Would have liked to see the Marshall out more to regulate pace but I got my round finished in just under 5 hours, which isn't that unbearable. Clubhouse is a glorified trailer, but they have good practice areas.

Challenging course for a first time player. Great conditions from tee to green. Lots of water and sand on every hole. Bring your A game or it will be a long day.

Riverside just recently re-opened after a long period of dealing with the elements. The course plays alongside the Triinity River, and is a beautiful layout, but is also prone to flooding whenever heavy rain falls. On May 14, the course itself was in pristine condition, subject to a few wet bunkers and unplayable low areas. Greens were absolutely perfect. The course is a great challenge and at current pricing is an excellent value!
