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

The fairways are in great shape, but the greens don't seem to have started growing yet. The staff is very good. The range was closed.

Save your time and money

Title says it all. Staff super unfriendly and judgmental. One of the guys in the office sat and mean mugged me while I was just trying to use the restroom. My friend lost something on the course and tried to ask if it had been returned and it must have been a massive inconvenience for the guy at the counter and couldn’t be bothered.

Greens are completely dead

$64 for this course in this condition is criminal.

2nd time playing here, the first time was about a year ago and the course was in much better condition all around.

The greens are the main culprit, but bunkers are rock hard and multiple tee boxes with little grass where you tee off as well as multiple uneven tee boxes.

Probably won’t be returning with multiple course in the same price range (and lower) in great condition in the DFW area.

Waterview Rowlett

Poana has taken over the greens. My guess is they did not pre-treat last October / November is why it's so bad. The Poana will be around until middle of July or August most likely. And, they charged $69 to play! Poana was so bad we had to implement a two put rule. Thought about asking for a raincheck but didn't because I wont be back until after the heat burns off the Poana. Course conditions other than the green are okay.

First time

Overall outing was great. The course could have better greens and tee boxes. Greens have little sprouts throughout. Grounds crew drives over tee boxes and through bunkers leaving trails of sand from tires. Like someone was carelessly driving throughout the course. Aside from that, fairly easy course and was a fun venture from my normal course.

Greens need some maintenance.

Most all of the greens were not good. Mostly low cut weeds. The ball would hop and jump when putting.

Nice course

The course fairways are beginning to fill in. The greens still have issues. Seems as though the grass is still dormant with little sprags coming through causing them to be bumpy. Otherwise the course is very playable as compared to other courses in the area.

Reminder

Every now and then you need a good reminder to refresh your memory. I got that reminder today. It has been raining and knew beforehand that it would be cart path only for our round. However, that was not the reason for a 3-hour front 9 and uncompleted back 9. I had forgotten how God-awful Waterview is on the weekends. 6-minute intervals between tee times, and as we were told by the starter on hole #1 there were three small tournaments ahead of us. Can we pack anymore humans on one golf course at a time? I doubt it.

Poorly run course that is in marginal condition. A reminder not to come back, at least on the weekends.

Thieves

After playing this course, I forgot my Callaway range finger on the golf cart. When I called them 2 days later, they said they did not find it. When we played, no one else was on the course because it rained heavily that day and I used it at the last hole, so it was not misplaced. The people at the cart return probably took it and never returned it to the pro shop.

Management Help Needed

No marshal managing pace of play (fivesome in front of us had the entire course backed up and nobody did anything about it), greens are trash, 3 items on the lunch menu, no beverage cart, and the course just plain needs professional help. It has a ton of potential as they have a lot of land to work with but until they get capable management look elsewhere.

VERY Rough Shape

Even though it's winter-ish conditions everywhere in NTX, this course is in worse shape than everywhere else. All tee boxes were sandy with lumps and bumps everywhere. All fairways are bare lies. The greens were like playing plinko. The dude in the pro shop was not friendly. The bar and the cart attendant were nice. I'm probably never going back. I hope they fix it. It could be a nice course if they cared enough about it.
