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.

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.
