Lake Arlington Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Owned by the city of Arlington, this course has been around since 1963–it’s located on the north edge of Lake Arlington and surrounded by native trees and wildflowers. Ralph Plummer designed this easy course, incorporating little water and no bunkers.
The first hole is one of the most difficult, playing over 400 yards into a dogleg-left fairway dominated by a huge pecan tree. Holes 13 and 14 play near the lake–the 13th goes 389 yards uphill and doglegs right, and the 14th measures 240 yards downhill to a green protected by water on the left side. Even though it’s a long par 3, there is a dramatic drop from tee to green.
Getting there : From Dallas, take I-30 west and exit East Chase Pkwy. Turn left, travel about 4 miles, and you'll come to the intersection of Spur 303 and Green Oaks Blvd.

Great value!
One of the best courses I've ever played, despite rough weather conditions. A great challenge that keeps your mind active and game on the edge. If you haven't played here before. DO IT!
Bad service. Price gouging when you book through GolfNow!!
Staff was very rude and tried to price-gouge me because I got "too good" of a rate with GolfNow. I walked out and called GolfNow to let them know how this course is cheating their customers. Don't bother golfing here, there's too many other good golf courses to play at!
when in town
This course is in great shape for a municipal course. Well worth the money. Nice Lil challenging golf course. A must play "when in town".
Nice course for the money
Course was in decent condition considering the hot weather. Most holes are straight with a few lefts and rights.
Golfer Unfriendly Staff
It must be something in their training, but every staff member seems to be combatant with the golfers. If you want an average golf course with little character it's OK. If you want to be treated like a respected, paying customer then stay away. They have the old school attitude that they are "allowing" you to play their mediocre course.
Course is worth playing
Greens are good again. A bit slow, but are receptive to a good shot.
Just ok
We bought a "hot deal" for the course. We were excited to try out the new greens. The greens are decent compared to what they used to be, but nothing special. It was fine for the price we paid. We were rained out on the 11th hole and because we bought through Golfnow, they wouldn't give us a rain check on 9 holes. I don't think it's fair due to paying for a full round. The staff could care less on service. I think the service has gone down hill, but the greens are a little better.
Avoid Temporary Greens
I made this reservation at the last minute since it was cheap. I knew they had temporary greens, but it was way worse than expected. The holes played shorter and I was told there would be temporary markers at the 100/150 marks, but there were none on the entire course. The temporary greens had sticks, leaves and nuts all over them. It was pretty frustrating having to clean off my entire line almost every hole. When the new greens are ready, I'll write a new review, otherwise avoid this course completely until the new greens are done.
Bad maintenance habits
Hole # 1 this guy cutting grass runs over my ball ten yards from the green. It happened to the guy they paired me up with aswell.
Greens are getting better
Love this course , the greens are coming around nicely. Fairways are in excellent condition. Great course
Greens
Playing temp greens until mid aug. Other wise nice layout and greens look nice when the reopen them.
Couse is still on temporary greens
The course is currently using temporary greens which makes this course even shorter than it already is. Also, you will encounter problems dealing with yardage as well as hard as a rock greens. Apart from that, the course is in decent shape. You are paying only $20 right now for a round so it all evens out at the end.
Not too bad
Temporary greens could have been a little better prepared, but discounted rate made up for it. Some drainage issues throughout...not sure watering slowed down with heavier recent rains. Solid course
this was going through renevations
this course was going through renevations ...we were playing on temporary greens...the roughs were very thick...will play again after the renevations
Great for the price
Greens are under construction, just understand that and you will have a great time.
Great challenges, lots of tress.
It was a good day for golf. The course was under repair, made it a day of target golf instead of trying to play a competitive round of golf. Will play again, really liked the challenges. Ready to play it after all repairs are done.
Horrid
The was the worst course I've ever played. It was a great course design and looked to be a great course but no green was playable and they made greens 20 ft in front of original green but was super hard
The course is under repair with temporary greens.
The course is in great condition, the fairways and tee boxes are excellent. The greens are undergoing restoration the appears to be almost complete. Right now the course plays short and the temporary greens are gimmies so the scores should be lower than normal. . It was a good warm up or practice round.
A bargain in the rough
I booked my threesome's tee time based upon the great value offered and the fact that none of us had played this course before. After booking the tee time, I looked up the course website and determined the reason for the bargain rate - all 18 greens are being revovated and temporary greens have been constructed on each fairway approach. The temporary greens are terrible, but then again, so is my short game, so who am I to complain?
Another interesting note: there is not one single, solitary sand trap on this course. I wasn't particularly looking to play on the beach, but their absence did make for a less psychologically challenging course. Watch out on hole 15 though, as the natural area ahead of the tees is bigger than it first appears and made up for the lack of sand...
Overall, we had a solid, fun round at Lake Arlington and plan to add it to our DFW course rotation.
Fairways
Excellent fairways !!! Greens are temporary for now. New greens will be ready in August. Temp greens are in good shape. For the the money it's a great track.
