Lake Arlington Golf Course
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.

Terrible
Greens were horrendous. I would not go back. Just terrible
Greens are in very sad shape
My friend and I played Lake Arlington yesterday. Before we started play the course Marshall let us know that Greens were vandalized. Well they weren't kidding but also looks damaged was done month ago.
Their was no beverage cart service, that was surprising being that were a lot of people golfing out there. So being charged your rate of $33 even though $6 less than regular rates was A bit excessive considering the greens were on poor condition.
Don't Waste Your Money or Time on This Goat Track
In the past, we have played this course at least once a month since it within five miles of our house. We will not be playing it again for many months, if not longer. The course is in the poorest condition I have ever seen it in the five years I have been playing it. The tee boxes are torn all to pieces and don't appear to have been being watered. There is no grass emerging on the greens - and it's May. I think they may have lost their greens and that would be tragic since they were very good since the redesign. Make sure you check with the pro shop about the condition of the course before playing here.
Poor Green Conditions
The greens are in terrible shape. Hopefully they will get them in shape before I play this course again.
PUTTING GREENS NEED HELP
I always like playing this course, but the greens are very firm and more dirt than grass. I am sure it is due to the draught but this makes for higher scores than usual right now.
Also, there is no driving range.
Guest
Everything is perfect except for the food and drinks are way to expensive. 4.00 hotdog, come on guys. Customer service, carts, course is great! Thank you!
The winter wasn't nice to Lake Arlington
I play this course fairly frequently and typically don't have any issues, but the course's quality yesterday was pretty bad. The greens were rock hard and faster than I have ever played on. Many of the other golfers were complaining about this. The front edge of the green on 14 in particular was so fast you couldn't even putt or it would roll off the front. The fairways were dry and had many bare spots too. The tee boxes were ok though. I will go back, but probably not until the Spring has had a chance to let the grass grow a little more.
Lake Arlington GC
Good course for the price, no bunkers which is nice. Will definitely play again and again.
Best Starter Ever
Starter is great guy, good stories and friendly. Course was very busy (80 degrees in March exceptional even for Texas). We were a Dad/Son twosome paired by the starter with another Dad/Son twosome. Had a great game (lost by one on 18) and a better time (see the part about the loss). Will be back. Course very good for time of year, greens were like lightning compared to other public courses.
Fun course, great staff!
Great mid level course. Friendly staff, course is in excellent condition even though it's still mid winter. I will definitely play there again!
Not bad for the money
Fairways were rock hard, greens were fast but soft.
pretty nice layout. I like the par 3's
the staff that day was not very friendly, but we had a good time on the course. I play a lot of courses in the area, but don't play here very often. when you can get a good deal on golf now it's worth the money, but I think their daily rates are a little high.
Enjoyed playing here again
Have been here twice in the last month & enjoyed it both times. Good course for a learning player & even though the course was busy & a lot of people walk it, the pace was fine.
Will play it again for sure.
Really bad greens
The layout of the course is fun and challenging but when you make it to the green, you might as we'll pick up. The greens are awful
Great value for weekend golf. Paired with a 77 year old gentlemen who shot in the 70's with a couple birdies. Great day.

Course was ok.
Didn't have carts ready until 10 minutes to tee off. Guy at counter acted insulted we payed on Golf Now. Ok course, nothing great. No driving range. Better value at Tierra Verde!
lake arlington fun day of golf
I had not played this course in 25 years but remembered it being a fun course. What I had forgotten was it is really two courses. The front is flat and very open. The back nine for the first 3 holes is a totally different terrain with a spectacular view from the tee box of the 250 yard par 3. The hole played about 200 yards from the back tees which are just above Lake Arlington. The remaining holes are similar to the front with back to back par 5s after the par 3. The greens were very fast and difficult to read. Tee shots do requite some movement as many of the holes have trees overhanging the fairway. We finished in 4 hours on a Sunday morning, great value and pace of play.
Nice Course. Bad carts.
This course is always worth the GolfNow discounted price. I would not pay full price for this course for one simple reason, I have been here numerous times and I can not think of a time where there were not dead carts everywhere. Other than that I enjoy this course and I will continue to play here. Front nine is fairly simple but the course will get you back with some difficulty on the beginning of the back nine. I would recommend this course to everyone if you can grab the discounted price.
The course was challenging!
Great value for the money and set tee time according to your likings!
Great course
Great course, trees throughout, great challenges for shot placement. Great greens.
