About
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

fantastic greens
Except for the first fairway (looks like they are repairing or adding drainage lines) the course was in great shape.
Excellent Greens
One of the few courses in N. Tx that has bent grass greens. Very healthy and true. Greens and most of the course is 5 star rating, except some bunkers are in process of restoration and currently ground under repair...mudholes. Definitely a must play course!
Great greens
Greens are fast and roll true! Pace of play a little slow but the greens and fairways are great! Cart girl came around when it was time for drinks!!!
We just wanted to say thank you for providing feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time and we look forward to see you out here again!
please email gm@waterviewgc.com if you have any further questions or concerns.
Pace of play improvement
I have to say that the last 2 times I played the course, since the front and back nines have been flipped, the pace of play has been awesome. We played in just under 4 hours on Sunday afternoon. The course is in good shape, the greens were very consistent.
Thank you for the kind words. There was method to our madness as you appear to be local. The City of Rowlett owns this property and has passed a project to renovate the pavilion outside. As part of this, we wanted to finished by pavilion/clubhouse as it just makes more sense. A side effect that we noticed quickly was that golfers could no longer play an extra 9 on the old back side. This was a lot of the cause for our slow rounds on busy days. New signage and scorecards should be in place by the end of August.
Feel free to email any questions or concerns to myself at gm@waterviewgc.com . Thanks again.
Great Course
I can talk enough about this course and staff. The green were great and not burnt and the ball rolls true ...

ENJOY WITH friend
it was good to play with friend!
not very, but some of interesting holes it has.
Had a good round
Enjoyed a good round was a little bit windy but still had a very good day on the course.
Fun Course
Fun course to play. Staff was very friendly. Greens a little hard / fast but overall the course was in good shape.
Waterview GC
The course is a pretty good share. We played firewheel old last week, and Waterview is in much better condition. Worth the few extra bucks IMO.
Fun with foursome
the course was in excellent condition, the weather was great and the staff was very helpful!
did not honor booking through this site
We had a 9.59 tee time that was booked through this site. After we paid and got down to the tee box, we found 4 groups ahead of us. Then we were told that there were no 9.59 tee times and that we would not only have to wait for the groups in front of us, but an additional 3 groups whose tee times were after ours. Then, we were paired with 2 significantly older men (78) and a walker. We finished up at about 4.30. 6.5 hour round.... If they won't honor the tee time, why book it?
I'll go back, because I live here and this is not the norm, but I wouldn't be able to recommend this course anymore.
WATERVIEW
Enjoyed playing this course because:
Convenient to home
Good value
Very good condition
Great proctice facility
Golf Now rate was the same as any walk-up rate on Monday, therefore the Golf Now surcharge here is a waste of 5 bucks.
good Course
this course was good not to hard for player. greens good but a little hard on that day.
Enjoyed my first time!
Friends that play here regularly had suggested this course. The staff were very friendly. Cart girls came by often. The course was in great shape and required good shot selection. Played during the week and pace of play was very good.
Changes
The course was going through some changes. They're in the process of making the back 9 the start of the course. The tee boxes are really rough. However the par 3 17th is a fun and challenging hole.
Lots of houses
We were following a tournament so play time was longer than normal. Weather was great so play was pleasant. Greens were fast. Only thing I can say negative, was that I was treated like I was invisible by cart girl. But I won't allow that to overshadow my play time at waterview.
Good course, decent price
The course was in good shape and had a decent pace of play. The pro shop was nice and the staff was helpful.
Average at best
The greens at this course are usually pretty good. However there was a ton of sand on them. The putting was impossible, and made for a poor experience.
Cart service? There wasn't any cart service on a Friday afternoon. If I owned the course it would drive me nuts thinking about how much money was left on the course.
We really do appreciate the feedback, and we're truly sorry you had that experience last Friday. The greens were sandy from the March 31st aerification, which happens 3 times a year for our bentgrass (typically March, May, September). Please email me if you would like to discuss further as I'm only permitted to comment and can't email you directly through GolfNow.
Thanks for coming out and we do hope to have you out again.

decent course
Haven't played this course in 5 years, I used to play it a lot. Course conditions were pretty rough. The greens were like concrete I play premium balls that normally will produce enough backspin to draw back several feet, not on these greens. The fairways were in quite a few locations as hard as the greens tough play if you take a divot. But these conditions are to be expected possibly due to water restrictions. A few of the tee boxes were very unlevel and greens in poor shape. Overall even with the rain still was able to shoot a 79. Only real complaint no cart service and the lady at the bar was a little rude. For some reason after repeating the order several times she still wasn't able to get it correct. Overall its still a public course and sometimes this is what to expect for playing conditions. Services need some help front service was good signing in.
Fun Course.... VERY SLOW!
First time out to the course, was an hour drive to get there for us but wanted to try a new course. Enjoyed the layout , was challenging but fair. Greens were awesome. Only complaint was pace of play (and we teed off almost 45 minutes late) When we finally teed off there was quite a back up already. Think it was 3rd of 4th hole and there were 2 groups waiting in front of us .....3 groups waiting on a tee box should never happen!
