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

Because of the high winds & middle of the week, the course was not crowded. Played in 3-hrs. Course needs to green up a lot more. Many bare spots. Greens are fast.

A deal for the $$

After replacing the greens, WV continued to be a fun track. Greens still have a lot of bumps and wiggles. Play this track few times a month, this the first time ever, Kate in the day, wind was blowing 25+, finished 18 and bets were tied, we were one of maybe 5 groups in the course, and Paul send out a marshal twice to interrupt our match to make sure they expected the extra $10 bucks because we got in a couple extra holes. So, we will skip this track for the next few months! Then marshal was very nice but if he would have brought an opposite message from Paul, prolly would have motivated us to schedule a return trip! Not for a while...

Nice day for golf in February...

We booked Waterview with a Hot Deal so we able to play for $25 which is a really fair price for this course. Course is in good shape for winter. Greens were in really good condition and rolling fast and smooth. Pace of play was great as we finished our round in a little over 4 hours.

Enjoyed the course and golf.... But...

The course was in good condition and I enjoyed the golf. Nice mix of both challenging and scoring holes.

The only negative was that as a single I was paired with an existing threesome. When I arrived for check in... the Pro shop informed me that I'd be charged double the rate I had booked for the cart fee because I was in a separate cart. Note- This was not because I had requested to do so... rather because the single in the threesome had already left the pro shop and I couldn't verify he was OK with sharing a cart with a stranger during the Covid/social distancing situation. I was fine with sharing but couldn't speak for the other party. The Pro shop staff made no attempt or offer to verify either.

I questioned the fairness of the charge but since

there were several golfers behind me in line to check in... I paid the additional fee so as not to delay others.

Under normal conditions I'd completely understand the policy if I had wanted/booked a separate cart... but given the situation at the time, it's frustrating and disappointing that it wasn't handled differently by the course. The additional $14 charge wasn't enough to get upset about... but it did tarnish what otherwise was a good golfing experience.
