About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 7191 yards
Slope 133
Rating 74.5

Rowlett’s first course has been laid out over a flat range of pasture, supplemented by 15 acres of lakes and over 1,000 new trees. Designed to be hacker friendly, the lack of mature trees provide an especially generous look and feel, tempting the mid-level handicapper to tee it up from the 7,191 yard tips and go long off the tee. Bent greens are the highlight of the round here–they roll true and provide solid opportunities to snake in a few long putts.

Getting there : Off of I-30 exit Dalrock Rd. and drive north through Hwy. 66. A half-mile past 66 veer left on Princeton, which dead-ends at Liberty Grove. Turn right into the Waterview division and take Waterview Pkwy. to the clubhouse

Another great round

Waterview is my favorite course. I always seem to do well here on at least 1 hole for birdie or birdie chance. Had about 7 pars yesterday, which was a great round for me. I just have to remember the good holes and forget the bad ones to make it enjoyable. Course is in good condition. Was hot and humid on a Monday, but also rather empty (hot Monday), so I was able to play quickly. Bartender was nice, friendly, and quick. Use the Golf Now Hot deal combined with a monthly tee time credit, but spent more on beer, hot dogs, and PowerAde. :)

Not worth the price

The course was not in the best shape and for 80$ a person I feel like I can just go to other nicer establishments.

Playable but not in good condition

Just aerated both greens and fairways. Course in poor condition. Greens were ok. Needed to rent clubs for my partner and they charged $75

The fairways and rough need work for sure. The former are cut super tight tand are rock hard - virtually impossible for any divot and zero forgiveness if hit a little fat. The latter needs to be cut and has too many overgrown weeds (but cutting more important)

If this course $50 or $60 on a Sunday? Sure. $80 with no bev cart (that I saw)? Nope.

Oh yeah - I saw a sign that said a rider fee on weekends is $50. FIFTY!!!

Fairways

They were supposedly aerating fairways however I’ve never seen such a mess, there was big chucks of soil all over fairways. The course should not have been opened for play, a total waste of money. Each golfer should have been reimbursed for this mess.

Staff was OK but the course is in terrible shape. There were bald spots in the fairway and corse was very bumpy with gaping holes in and around fairways and greens. The grasses around the course needed mowing. Overall, not a good experience.

All around great course

Course is in really good shape right now! Greens are fast and rolling pretty pure, fairways are soft, most tee boxes are solid. Could nitpick and say greens are slightly sandy but that should change soon. No real complaints other than the carts could use a refresh.

Poorly managed

Cart died on hole 3 then I spent the time to get a new cart and then that cart died on 9. Really poorly managed course. Spend your money and time somewhere else. This place is not worth it.

Terrible course condition

The course was in terrible shape. There was mulch and dirt all over the fairways. The tee boxes were over grown and drastically uneven. The greens were average but compared to everything else it was in great shape. Pace of play was the only thing good about it.

Good Bones

This m was obviously a premium course at this ne point. The hazards are strategically placed and you have to think yourself around the course. The greens are very undulating which added a nice challenge and they were in good condition. Unfortunately, the fairways and grass around the green needed improvement. One recommendation to the course: on #3, shorter par 5, let the grass grow a little longer between the green and the water. You have a green that banks towards the water and even on a good second shot, it’s likely your ball will roll into the water. The hole isn’t really fair and it slows down play. Plus, this isn’t a TPC course so no need to make it overly difficult.
