About this course

Waterview Golf Club sits in Rowlett, a suburban community northeast of Dallas along the shores of Lake Ray Hubbard. The course was designed by D.A. Weibring and Steve Wolfard and opened in 2005 as part of a residential development. The layout occupies gently rolling terrain with views across the lake and incorporates natural wetlands and native grasses into the design strategy. The routing takes advantage of elevation changes uncommon in this part of North Texas, offering variety in shot values and visual interest throughout the round. The course measures over 7,000 yards from the back tees and features wide fairways balanced by strategic bunkering and water hazards that come into play on several holes. The design emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining challenge through green complexes that reward precision in the short game. Several holes along the lake provide open vistas and wind exposure that can influence club selection and shot shaping. Waterview operates as a semi-private facility, welcoming both members and daily-fee play. The club includes practice facilities and a clubhouse with dining options that serve both golfers and the surrounding residential community. The course reflects the modern era of North Texas golf development, where residential integration and accessible design have become standard features of the regional golf landscape.

Getting there

Most visitors to Waterview Golf Club arrive through Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), one of the nation's busiest hubs, positioned roughly thirty minutes west of the property. The drive east traces the northern arc of the Dallas metroplex, transitioning from urban sprawl to the quieter residential expanse of Rowlett, where Lake Ray Hubbard begins to shimmer into view. As you approach the club's gates along the lake's western shore, the landscape opens to reveal a rare commodity in North Texas - genuine waterfront golf terrain, where the city's hum fades beneath the rustle of native grasses and the lap of open water.
