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

Great course. Amazing greens.

This course is pretty challenging, maintained well and is a lot of fun to play. There is a new greens keeper that is really making the greens top notch. Do yourself a doctor and play this course.

A Straight Forward Test Of Your Game

This is a "hit it down the middle", housing development on all sides, wide fairways, fairly simple golf course. All the holes are straight from tee box to green - not a dogleg to be found. There is a lot of water on the back 9, but only in play on #14. The #9 green has water primarily on the right.
My round there was enjoyable, but not memorable - I'm not sure I could describe one interesting golf hole.
The bunkers are mostly dirt and didn't come into play. The trees are mostly young and didn't come into play.
You should score well here.

Great course and staff. I play here a lot and every time it is a great experience

Challenging course with great greens. Fairways and greens are very fast. The bunkers could use some work. The staff for the most part is very friendly, the ambassador though is a little over enthusiastic. Several times I had my cart in the rough slightly past the no carts signs on the fairway and he went on to tell me that I should view the cart sign as if it goes around the world. Really? The no cart sign really means no carts in the fairway beyond that point. What really gets me though is the fact that he drives right over the green to come tell you..., other than that the people in the clubhouse are awesome. I once scheduled a tee time on the wrong day and when I showed up in the wrong day they honored it anyway. Pretty awesome.

I had a pleasant round at Waterview

I found the course a bit challenging. The great part of my round was the condition of the fairways. My drives carried a bit further than some courses I've played!

Interesting and challenging course. Well maintained fairways with average greens.

Interesting and challenging course. Well maintained fairways with average greens, which recently have been above average.
Personally feel like there is more sand on course than needed.
Water is about right. Great carts.

Fair course with bent grass greens that are normally very good.

It is a fairly easy driving course due to not having many mature trees. The bermuda rough is not that high, but can get severe when the ball sinks to the bottom. It is a good value for the money and the pace of play is normally very good. The carts are very well maintained and they have a great practice putting green.

Greens need work

Ball marks all over the green so putts do not fall often. Greens are usually slow. Rest of course in great condition. Guy I paired up with caught a fish on 16th hole.
