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

Nice fun course

Friendly staff, open golf course, and quick rounds by the cart girl complimented this mostly open golf course that was forgiving of some stray shots (as long as you can avoid the water). The greens were a little bumpy an worn, but it's the middle of summer in Texas and my friend didn't have any trouble hitting every putt on the back nine. Look forward to going back and playing there again.

Call ahead first

I booked my tee time through GOLFNOW... got to the course and asked out of curiosity what the green fee for that time was. He said it was $5 CHEAPER than what I booked it for through GOLFNOW. He tried to refund the difference but said since it was done online it wouldn't let him.

CALL AHEAD TO GET RATES, then compare to what GOLFNOW says they are saving you.

Ok

The greens were in excellent condition but the sand traps were either too wet or hard. Other than that the course was well maintained and I enjoyed playing Waterview

good as always but Some greens were a little bumpy, which is abnormal

New trees Should add challenge in the next few years.

In GREAT Shape

Course is in great shape. Greens are moderate speed but in perfect shape - the ball rolls great. You can throw the balls at the holes and they receive well. Pace was slow but it was 97 degrees with high humidity yesterday/

Good Value for the money.

Great Course!

Loved playing out there a couple of times over 4th of July week. I had forgotten about this course and had not played it in years! Only issue I had, was the other players. There were 5 idiots behind us, being rude most of the day. They were each their own cart, whistling and saying "come on"! There was no where to go, as there were groups ahead of us, and we were not holding up pace of play at all. I guess Waterview can't pick the people that play there, but I was sure these were a bunch of regulars.

Waterview has really great greens this season.

Played Waterview with a buddy this weekend, course was in great condition. Greens rolled very nice and the trees in the fairway have grown, making the fairways more challenging than I remember in the past.

Course was in good shape, but a very SLOW start.

When we reached the 3rd hole, there were already 3 groups waiting to tee. Marshal was non-existent, beverage cart did not appear until the 8th hole.

The greens here are usually pretty smooth. Better be able to hit your irons high to get the ball to stop on the elevated greens.

Short course but with windy conditions there is plenty of trouble lurking.

Great course, not too difficut, but has some challenges--especially the sand traps around the greens.

I enjoyed playing this course and will definately play it again. I was surprised at how well maintained the course was.

A nice course, in decent condition

A lot of the fairways on this course are really bumpy, getting a good lie is a role of the dice. I liked the greens, the coloring looking patchy but they role fairly well, semi-fast. We played in the heat of the day and not very many people were out there. The pace was pretty good, but we got behind a threesome at number 6 and then after that was very slow. After we told them to pick up the pace, they sped up slightly. The marshals patrolled fairly often, which I like to see. A good value is you can get a discounted price on Golfnow.

The course is very well maintained.

I played this course once before and it was in very good shape. When I recently played it I found the course to be in the same condition. I will certainly play it again. The fairways and greens were very well maintained. I really liked the wide open fairways.

This is a nice course

I play an average of 10 rounds a month. Since my first time there it has been the course that I compare other courses to in the DFW area.
