About this course

Riverside Golf Club, a stalwart of Grand Prairie golf, delivers a no-frills experience, harking back to a time when the game was about camaraderie and straightforward play. Situated amidst the flatlands characteristic of the region, Riverside offers a predominantly open, parkland-style layout. The course is not overly long, but subtle doglegs and strategically placed bunkers demand thoughtful club selection. Originally designed to provide a fair test for the everyday player, Riverside hasn't undergone any major architectural overhauls. This is not a course seeking to intimidate with length or trickery. Rather, its charm lies in its accessibility and consistent conditions. Riverside is a course cherished by its local membership. The club's unpretentious atmosphere and reasonable green fees foster a strong sense of community. The hot dogs at the turn are legendary, fueling many an afternoon round. It might not be on any "best of" lists, but for generations of Grand Prairie golfers, Riverside represents something far more valuable: a familiar and welcoming place to enjoy the game.

Getting there

The journey to Riverside Golf Club begins at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), one of the nation's busiest hubs, positioned just fifteen minutes northwest of the course. From the terminal, the route traces west along Interstate 30, slicing through the sprawl of the Metroplex before easing into the quieter industrial and residential patchwork of Grand Prairie. The final turn brings you to the banks of the Trinity River, where Riverside's tree-lined layout unfolds in surprising seclusion - a hidden municipal gem tucked within the urban fabric of North Texas, offering an unhurried escape mere moments from the airport's hum.
