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

4 Minute Tee times lead to 6 hour round

We got to our tee time for the starter to let us know they are 20 minutes behind. He mentioned they had booked tee times every 4 minutes and the course was slowing down. We proceeded to wait 20 minutes a shot for a 6 hour round. Marshalls could only move so much along since to many groups were out on the course.

Great value

The greens had recently been punched so they were pretty bumpy but it’s a great layout and lots of fun.

Pleasantly Surprised

Overall the course was a fun, challenging course. Fairways could use a little work. Greens and bunkers were all in good shape. Personnel were nice and friendly. Clubhouse could use a makeover. Overall, I would play again.

Mothers Day golf

I played on Mother's Day afternoon. It was empty. My husband and I played by ourselves. No one behind or in front of us. That was very nice. The weather was perfect. Cool breeze and the view of the ducks and their babies was wonderful. The one thing I noticed was there were too many weeds on the fairway. The greens were in good condition and rolled fast. Some greens were burnt unfortunately. The ground was very hard, and the ball would roll farther than other courses I have played. I played here a year ago and thought the course was in much better shape then. Hope they get it back to what it was last year. The layout is quite challenging. Fortunately, I paid a discounted rate that made it worth playing as a practice round.

Rip off on Golf Now Reservation

Canceled a golf now reservation in less than 24 hours. Golf now says the cancel is up to the course.

We played with 2 of 3 players. The course was swamped and cart path only. The ponding was all over the course with over a 200 square foot pond on one of the holes just short of the green. Really bad conditions. The course charged me for the 3rd player even though we canceled it the day before. I understand the rules but the conditions were so bad they should have been closed.

The staff at this course are the rudest I have encountered ever. My opinion on some of the staff was even prior to this tee time. Don't book and prepay. Golfer beware.
