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.

Nice greens
Very well maintained course with nice terrain. Nice views of lake on back nine.
Really good downhill par 3 on backside
Narrow, Tree line course that requires accuracy on majority of the holes
Great municipal course
This is one of the better municipal courses around. Greens are in great shape.
For a city course....not bad.
This is pretty much a typical city muni. They have limited land to work with, so I give them a break on that. Overall, not a great test if you're a high caliber player. However, from the back tees, all the par 3's are excellent tests. Not real creative holes, but again, not much to work with. Playing in mid July with excessive heat, I was surprised that the fairways and greens were in good condition.
If you're a really good player, this is a good course to simply work on your game. For what you get vs. what you pay, I'd say this course represents fair value.
good course but slow play was an issue
In all good fun but would have been much better if play would have been faster.
Will come back!!
Nice course, not too hard but challenging enough. No sand what so ever. Greens a bit tough to read. GOod value for under $30
bad turf...challenging greens
The turf was awful-plain and simple. Getting appropriate distance on shots was difficult because of the turf. Also, there was no real differentiation between the fairway and the rough...both were equally terrible.
That being said, the greens were quite challenging (lots of undulation). I enjoyed that part of it, as it allowed for some really competitive putts. There are a lot of trees which make for some difficult shots
I didn't like that my father and I were paired up with another duo. I probably won't play this course again unless I have my own foursome that I know will keep a decent pace.
This course has some great views and a good layout.
The course is in good shape, well manicured and greens were holding very well, putting true and fairly easy to read. It seems as though some of the huge trees are crowding the tee shots a bit more than last time I played here, but it makes for a more challenging tee shot. Overall I had a good day for me, scoring 44/40 and the weather was great.
Bang for the bucks!
Great course for great price! Nice and green (5/17/13) fair way. The green itself can use some work but not bad. Front 9 is easy, back 9 is where it gets tough. Picture-esque 240yds par 3 (14th) with about 100 feet of elevation changes.
Good value at deal price
Moderately simple course. Some narrow fairways rewarded straight drives. A few water hazards but the sand was on the greens, making them awfully slow. A good rain and let the greens grow a bit should make this a good one for summer. A pretty good deal at GolfNow deal price.
Nice course
Had a wonderful time on Sunday at this course. Weather was awesome, greens were good.
Love this course!
Working on greens... putts were difficult
Be aware - the greens will need at least a week to recover from the work done yesterday..
son' 1st outing
Took my 14-year-old son on his first round of 18 holes. It's a good course for that event.
Decent Course
Pretty slow but well maintained and nice staff. Patrons are novice, slow, and annoying.
Great course good price needs work cleaning the course up
Pay it and play it. Try not to look to close to the details
Wait til Summer
The greens are still not where the were last year and will not be until the warm Summer months. Overall, the course was in decent shape and much better than it was 5 years ago.
Fun Holes, Over priced...but a local favorite
The price for this course is about $10-$15 too much. Its not worth $30 bucks on a weekday at noon. Its hard to find deals. But its the closest course to me, so they will continue to get my money.
what you expect for the price
didn't expect much considering its your run of the mill muni. course was easy, condition was ok. if i had paid more, i would have expected more.
found it very odd that there was not one bunker on this course. there is however enough water, to cause some minor challenges.

Good honest review. I like that. Just a heads up though. Every course you go to (depending on time of day and day of week a twosome will not get paired with another group but for the most part what I am about to say is accurate) will pair twosomes together. I play solo and last week I was paired with a twosome, and another solo. The solo and I were younger and decent off the tee around 230-250 (not straight but still) while the twosome was older and shorter off the tee. I hit my 3H the same distance as the older gent hit his driver just to give you an idea of the difference. They were slow but supper nice so the round was fun. Hope to golf with you someday. I play ready golf so I keep a good brisk pace.
