Waterview Golf Club

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

All in all, an enjoyable round. The fairways could use some work. The greens were above average. Not enough ball washers. Not sure why this and every course in the country does not put the ball washers on the carts.
Slow play and firm greens
Greens roll well but are a bit firm. Got stuck behind a five some on the back, played the front in 1.5 hrs and took 2.5 for the back.
Bravo to the Greenskeeper!
The course is starting to green up nicely - finally getting to that time of year when you can hit off grass again. My biggest compliment goes to the greenskeeper - all the greens were in magnificent shape! Made for a very enjoyable round!
Great greens
Overall course is in pretty good shape coming out of winter. Greens are excellent. Tee boxes are aerated and/or sand boxes currently which would be only knock but course was fun and challenging greens
Nice rebound
Fast greens in really good shape. Had the 2nd tee time of the day, but the group in front of us was really slow, and not asked to keep pace. They played in 4 hours 45 mins, with at least 2 holes open in front of them most of the morning. The course attendant didn’t try to speed them along. Not the courses fault, so much as the foursome…you’d think players wouldn’t make a 7:30 tee time and not try to play quickly. Oh well. Fairways just started to green up, couple weeks away from being in good condition.
Waterview
Fun track - only downside was the lady working in the bar was not friendly at all and was lucky to have even received a 10% tip on my trip inside at the turn. Pace of play was bad on the first 9 holes two groups ahead of us could not get off the box so my group and the group in front of us were often waiting on the same tee box but the back 9 opened up a bit more of what you would expect on a Sunday.
Waterview is one of my favorites
Good greens and fairways. Tee boxes are being aerated right now, but other than that, it was good to go.
Winter round
For the time of year the course was in good shape. Greens were really good.
Fantastic Greens
Never have I seen a course be under $50 with greens as excellent as these. I was in awe the entire time on every hole. I’d give more stars, but the fairways and tee boxes have been in bad shape both times I’ve played. We showed up early to get some food before playing and the staff was phenomenal inside the clubhouse. Mid way through Hole 10 (first hole they had us play), we were stopped to prove we were supposed to be out there. First time I’ve ever been asked to prove I was supposed to be playing. Then, that same staff member said we had to have carts in by 5:30pm. We had just teed off and it was a 4:13pm start. Sunset was to be about 7pm. We continued on until about 6:45 because we were not stopped again and we saw multiple groups still playing. Not sure who the staff member was, but he was an older man and certainly wasn’t as friendly as the rest we encountered. Hope to have a better experience if I play again.
We always enjoy this course
Despite some huge rains just a few days earlier, the course was beautiful, a few minor puddles but was playing 90 degrees. Greens are in great shape. Will play again!
6 hours Pace of Play
Made it through 3 holes in 1 hour 5 minutes, asked for a refund and the manager refused and advised that I jump in front of a group on the back 9 (which would further slow down the pace )
Greens were nice, everything else was very poor
Chilly Morning
February golf and fast greens. Played the front 9 and liked what I saw. The greens were in good shape considering the rain and colder January.
