Waterview Golf Club

The greens and tee boxes were decent but the fairways and rough were more than rough. There are huge cracks in the dirt from dehydration. Also broad leaf weeds that should be fairly easy to control were everywhere. Pace of play was terrible. We were over 1.5 hours before we teed off on 4. Had to call the clubhouse to have them correct pace. They did correct this issue but we barely finished the round. Over 5 hour round it tough.

Not much fairway off the tee, so hit it straight. Greens are in great shape and certainly challenging with tons of movement. I like this course.

I don't do reviews generally but the conditions at Waterview have changed so much I felt obligated. I play Waterview 2-4 times per year and the greens are generally in poor shape. When we played this time I could not believe the conditions of the greens. They were perfect and fast; they have never been close to this good in the history of the course. They must have a new head greenskeeper.

Course was in pretty good condition. Greens were fast. Got stuck behind a couple of slow groups. Unfortunately the driving range was closed this week so that sucked.

I had not been to Waterview in a couple of years. The course was generally known to be in rough shape so I didn't make the trek to Rowlett in the last 4-5 years.

First, let me say this...the Greens were FANTASTIC. The superintendent must have worked some miracles. They were smooth, true, fast (maybe 11), and still have the undulations. They were pretty difficult to 2-putt from outside 30 feet. They were the best greens on a muni/public layout that I have played this year. Pretty dang impressive.

The rest: Bunkers were in pretty good shape. Tees were good. The course is obviously still coming back as fairways were probably just OK and the summer drought has the rough and less-maintained areas full of weeds, cracks, mud, and roots. Hopefully they can improve these areas the way they did the greens and tees.

I have always enjoyed the layout here. Fairways rolled well and there are good sightlines off most tees. Pace was good (4:14) for a Sunday morning in gorgeous weather. Staff was friendly to talk to and if you like dogs like me, there are several backyards where they come to greet you if you hit it near them!

The greens were the star of the show. If any good players want a challenge and care about speed and lines, go play these 18.

Beautiful course! Unfortunately the driving range was closed for the week so I was pretty tight through the first few holes. Greens were so fast it was hard to judge. Back 9 of the course could use some love but other than that it was a good golf day!

First time back to Waterview in about 5 years and I didn't really know what to expect with mixed reviews all around. The course was in incredible shape... Lots of improvements to course conditions since I last visited that led to a very fun and pleasant round. Super friendly starter gave us a great rundown of what to expect for the day. Tee boxes were in good shape , fairways were excellent, the rough is lush along the majority of holes, and the greens were immaculate, receptive but very very fast! I'll definitely be going back to Waterview more often now.

The new GM and green keeper have done an incredible job with the greens over the last 2 months. This course was unplayable 3 months ago and yesterday you had to keep it below the hole. The green were actually fast and true. Was a 1 star now a 3 star.

Hope they keep improving.

For the brutal summer we had, Waterview is in great condition. Place of play on a Saturday afternoon was awesome. Greens were quick and firm, but very green and felt taken care of.

Course conditions need improvement. Fairways have potholes and tee boxes not level.

The course is in pretty good condition, some dry areas but didn't really cause issues for us. I will be playing again soon.
