Don’t Go!

Greens have been drilled and are in horrible condition. Don’t waste your time putting. There were no tee times notes to inform of this condition. To top it off, $45 is a ridiculous price for those conditions. We play here about 6 times a year. The cart paths are getting worse. I’d wait at least a week before playing this course.

Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing Riverchase Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Wind Is 90 Percent Air

Very enjoyable round of golf, with the exception of our cart crapping out on us at 16. Greens are in excellent condition and FAST. Fairways excellent as well. BUT, stay out of the rough, even the primary. You will not see your ball unless standing right over it. Very penalizing! There was some water around the course. Some courses are still not putting water jugs out. Go Play!!!

Ain't God Good

The course, with the exception of the bunkers, was in excellent shape, considering the previous day's and that morning's rain. Kinda frustrated that the refreshment shake was closes when we made the turn at about 4:00. Somehow, the starter paired our threesome with another twosome (not very good players) and that really slowed us down. But, as slow as we were, we caught up with a foursome on number ten. For the most part, the fairways and tee boxes were in good condition, as well as the greens. Go play!!!

Shade Is Your Friend

Excellent course. Greens have a lot of movement and were in really good condition. Fairways were excellent. Shade is strategically place on the course, and very welcomed near the tee boxes. There was drinking water on the course. We played the blue and the red courses. Something happened that sometimes does not occur. Two sets of foursomes, who were playing slower than our twosome, let us play through, without making us follow them for several holes. We were impressed.

Sometimes It Sucks

No water on the course yet, even at 99 degrees ambient and 108 degrees heat index. Greens are not worth putting on right now. The chart girl did come around; just not often enough. We were almost finished with the front side before we encountered the cart girl. No marshal on the course. The foursome in front of us was totally unaware, it seems, of our presence. There were two empty holes in front of the them. When we got to number 9, we just drove around them and went to 10. Where's a cop when you need them. Today, in the clubhouse with the A/C.

The Dance Floor Is Rolling

Wow. I like this course. If it was closer to Garland, we would be playing here more often. If you don't like trees, stay in the fairway. For duffers like me, if you don't have a short iron game (PW - LW), it will be a long day. Why?
The greens on the Red and White course are in excellent shape. Fast. But, there is not a green that doesn't have movement and slope, so being in the right spot on the green is essential for us duffers.

Bumpy Is The Word of the Day

I have never written a negative review of The Plantation, until today. They have over-seeded the greens with rye.
So, the bermuda underneath is dead and the rye is bumpy as can be. The greens are slower than I've ever seen them. You are just as likely to make a 30 foot putt as a 3 foot putt. The pace of play was like a snail. Even though one of the marshals admitted there was a foursome that was holding up the pace of play, that foursome was not encouraged to move along or let others play through. So, we just drove around them and skipped a hole. Teed as 1:30 and did not finish the round, due to darkness and slow pace of play. I won't be back until the greens are in better shape.

Great Deal For A Good Course

Mesquite is one of the best kept secrets in DFW. It's not long and it's not hard, even for the duffer. Average play will take about 3..5 hours and you should score somewhere below 90. The course is in excellent condition. Bring plenty to drink and eat with you as there is no cart girl.

Breezy Does It

Just enough breeze today to fight off 95 degrees. The course is in very good condition, even the bunkers that I visited were in good shape. Greens are a little grainy, but smooth. Fairways are excellent. You will enjoy it.

Swing for the Fences

We really like Riverside. Never play here on the weekends though, due to the high green fees. Staff was very friendly. With the exception of very slow greens, the course was in excellent shape. We just hate the par 4 number 15th. There is just not place to land the ball for your drive. This is especially true in the summer months. So just hit and hope. If you can, play over the right side of the bunkers on the par 4 number 4 hole. It will seem weird to do so, from the tee, but you will see. For the par 4 number 6 hole, there is a lot more room beyond the 150 yard maker than it appears. Finally, on the par 4 number 18, if you are not a really long ball hitter, just write down a bogey and drive directly to the parking lot.

Wear Your Rubbers

I started going to Waterview a few yeas ago. I was impressed with the course conditions; especially the greens. Now, not so much. Greens are extremely slow.
It had been three days since we had any rain and it was still very soggy around the greens. This is hard to believe when most of the greens are elevated. A good shot, landing in one of those areas, is doomed. If you ask me, the course would have been better served to spend the upgrading money on drainage systems and not on white sand and the club house.

Rocking and Rolling Away

I like Pecan Hollow. Generally, I think it is over priced. It is a beautiful course. There is so much grass land, very pretty and lush; but it is the same as water if you go in it. You will not likely find your ball. So, beware of the grasses, just like it was water. The greens were hard as a rock and even the best of approach shots is going to roll off, or on the larger greens, roll as far away as possible. The greens were smooth and very fast. Except for the edges, the bunkers had very little sand in them. The really good thing for a duffer like me is that the fairways were hard and rolling and rolling. So, I had a pretty good day with the driver. With the greens as hard are they are now, and its not even summer, I wonder what they will be like then. Except for the elevated greens, and most are elevated to some extent, there is no way to go at the pin. You will want to land the ball at least five yards short, maybe more. One of the really good things about this course is the strategically placed shade. We Texans like shade.

Course is in excellent shape. Fairways are excellent. Surrounding grass lands look great. Greens were in good shape, but very slow. Even with all player in their own individual carts, pace of play was very good.

Body Bags All Over the Course

Haven't played TC in about 6 years. Refused to return because there was virtually no water dispensers on the course and the cart paths jar your liver. Today, it was windy and cold. No need for water to drink. But the cart paths still suck. The greens are in really good shape. For the most part, the fair ways are generous. The best defense TC has are all of mounds placed to strategic locations on several holes. There are no holes with special surprises in the topography. I will tell you, please do not be long on the par five 15th or the par four 10th.

Don't Look Now

I really like Riverside! The greens are in excellent condition. So are the bunkers...ask me how I know. For a much better approach shot on the par four fourth hole, hit a slight draw over the right side of the far right bunker. A decent drive will leave you a nine iron away. For me, just write down a bogie on the par five sixth hole and do on to number 7. You'll see what I mean when you get there. On the par five eleventh hole, I like to hit my drive right of the fairway crossing bunkers. After that, its a piece of cake. When you get to the par four fifteenth hole, cross your fingers, pray to the gods, and hit almost anything but a driver. Any drive that goes more than 160 yards over the left edge of the prominent bunker will end up in the left side trees/rough/junk. Good luck! The one really frustrating thing wasn't the course. Our twosome followed a threesome from the beginning of the round. They did not let us play through until number 8. I have never seen a marshal on the Riverside course.

Please Move Along

The Courses at Watter's Creek are really good. Course seems to drain well. All aspects of the course are commendable. Not sure who to complain to though. We average making an 18 round in about 3 hours. However, today a tournament we were unaware was being played in front of us, caused a 5 hour round. I made our reservations on Golf Now. Tee time notes said nothings about a tournament being played that teed right in front of our tee time.
Would have been nice to know. Many times, even when not using Golf Now, but just reserving directly with the course, one is not informed of tournaments being played. Again, sure would be nice.

If I Honk, Will You Move Over?

Love this course. I little pricey, in my opinion, even with a Hot Deal. Very pricey without a Hot Deal. The course is usually in good shape. I like the layout, with the exception of par four number nine. There's really no good place for the duffer (me) to lay up. My only consistent complaint has to do with pace of play. Folks either don't know golf etiquette or ignore it. Either way, there is never a marshal when you need them. Our foursome played the front nine is 90 minutes. The back nine took almost twice that long. Very tempted just to drive around the three-some in front of us.
