Play another course
I haven't played Waterview in almost a year, and the conditions were terrible. They are not doing anything to maintain this course. Greens were half bald in some places, with no upkeep whatsoever. Several bunkers had grass growing in them, and unmaintained, several bunkers had shreds of the lining cluttering the perimeter. It appears if all they are doing is mowing and picking up no debris or emptying trash cans. Very sad, as this used to be a beautiful course to play. The only thing positive is the staff, both in the pro shop and the grill were friendly.
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.
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.
Beware of pace of play
Saturday 2:24 tee time. Had a really slow group in front, two fathers and their children. One father seemed like it was his first time playing golf. After talking to the group in front, We called the pro shop for a Marshall to come out, but they dismissed us over the phone and did not take any action.
Waterview GC review
WE had an ice storm here in the greater Dallas area, so I booked it once after the storm, but they still had the greens covered with tarps. I wished someone had called me because it's a 30+ mile drive one way! +$ 3-4tolls one way.
WE played it 2 weeks later, and had heavy rains a few days before, so the course was still fairly wet. It made for some interesting conditions.
I have reviewed this course before, so refer to that. WE like the price, the layout, etc. . .
I do recommend this course for the reasons stated above. It's great value, fun to play when the weather cooperates.
Pace of play was very slow.
Greens are too wet and around the edge. Good fairway conditions and tee boxes. Many Pins placement were awful.
Not as it was posted
Greens were like putting on pitted concrete honestly , yet it was cart path only . No idea why
Wont be back
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.
