About this course
Waterchase Golf Club opened in 1991 as a daily-fee facility in Fort Worth, designed by Steven D. Plumer. The course occupies rolling terrain in the northern reaches of the city, where natural elevation changes and mature tree growth provide definition to the layout. Plumer, a Texas-based architect who has worked extensively throughout the state, routed the course to take advantage of the property's existing topography rather than impose dramatic earthwork, resulting in a design that fits comfortably within its landscape. The course plays through corridors of oak and pecan trees, with water features coming into play on roughly half the holes—a characteristic that gives the facility its name. The routing moves across varied terrain, with some holes playing along ridge lines and others descending into lower-lying areas where ponds and creeks create strategic considerations. The design emphasizes accuracy over distance, with tree-lined fairways rewarding proper positioning and penalizing wayward shots. Waterchase serves the Fort Worth golf market as an accessible public option, drawing players from across the metropolitan area. The course has hosted regional amateur events and qualifiers over the years, though it maintains its primary identity as a daily-fee facility. The clubhouse offers standard amenities typical of Texas public courses from this era, and the layout remains a straightforward test of golf that reflects the design sensibilities of early 1990s daily-fee architecture in North Texas.
