About

Holes 18
Type Public/Municipal
Style Traditional
Par 71
Length 6637 yards
Slope 117
Rating 70.7

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.

Very fun layout

It had been a long time since I played this course and after 4 holes I was wondering why it took me so long to get back here. Lake Arlington is a great little course to play and enjoy the game of golf. Right now with the "winter greens" putting was a challenge but overall course is in good shape. Dont not get off the fairway very far ground is hard but fairways are very nice to hit off of. Holes 11 thru 14 are very interesting one of my favorite strecthes of hole on the course. I recommend this course to the golfer starting out it will test you and make you better but also to any other golfer that wants a very enjoyable round of golf. Staff was great and the people I met playing were a real joy very nice folks. Go play it you will enjoy it.

Lake Arlington Golf Course (Arlington, Texas)

The course is in good condition. The greens are not as smooth as I have seen in the past, but they are good also.

A Good Muni

Lake Arlington is almost two different courses - the front 9 is relatively flat with a couple of interesting holes - particularly 8 and 9. Since I'm a lefty, #8 doglegs perfectly for my fade - provided I don't hit too much club and go through the fairway. That means both #9 and #18, with their dogleg right and tee boxes on the right, give me trouble - I usually hit a tree down the right hand side.
The back 9 has a good bit of elevation change culminating with #14 at the top of the hill - a good view inside the lake from here. Fun, long par 3 with plenty of trouble behind the green - I usually end up hitting too little club. #15 starts out of a narrow tree lined shoot, but ends up as a rather bland par 5 if you hit your drive in the fairway.
I found course conditioning to be consistently good even though things can be a little too wet for my tastes.
Plenty of tee selections here - I have moved up to the whites since I always hit a 3-metal off the tee.
I believe every par 3 goes in a different direction and takes a different club.
Overall, an enjoyable routing.

the course was a great deal for what i paid, but with a little attention to the course it would be very nice.

The course was okay for a city maintained course..

Great course with great layout.

I love everything about Lake Arlington Golf Course. Everyone there is mostly pleasant or professional. My experience today (Oct. 24th) was an exception. The girl/lady at the snack bar was very dismissive and almost seemed bothered to help me. Any snack bar attendant will never be the deciding factor of whether I play a course or not. I'm just letting you know where the improvement can come from. Having said that, and that being the only setback, this course and it's staff is great!

nice track; well maintained

Lake Arlington staff consistently maintains the course. Full price rate seems a bit high, but discounted rates are available and offer good value. Pace of play is better than at most other local courses.

Fun course.

Lake Arlington was a fun course to play. The staff was friendly and most greens and fairways were in decent shape. Some tee boxes needed attention and play was a bit slow especially on the back. Overall though if you are patient it is still a fun experience and I would definitely go back.

Play the course early to complete course.

Nice design layout . Some holes challenging regardless your handicap.
Drawbacks not enough hazards to make this course even more of a challenge.
Staff very friendly and helpful.
I would play this course again and recommend it to other golfers.

Great course conditions

Overall this is a great and relaxing course, no sand traps and very few hazards. Only place I have played that I haven't lossed a ball. Only concern is that often there are no beverage carts, even on the weekends. They have a number on the carts to call to request food or drink, but when I called they said they had no one who could bring me anything. They often seem understaffed, but the staff that is there is very friendly.

Great Course for the Money

Very little water, no sand, course and greens are well kept. It's one of my favorite courses around Fort Worth / Arlington for the money. Staff is excellent with Golf Now reservations. Seem to actually know what's going on. Just show up and play.
