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.

Been playing this course since it opened rules you need to know

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.

Excellent Course

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.

Way. Too. Slow

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

Good to Play Again

Has been close to a year since I played. Surprised to see the greens have shrunk quite a bit in some cases. Makes the course a little more challenging. Course in great shape. Greens a little slow but good.
