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 challenging course
No complain, just kudos, ooops, except the carts. They are about to be or in the process of retirement...
Just short of great
Great layout for a short course (just 6610 yds from the tips. Was worried about pace of play but it was unwarranted. We finished in 4 hours flat, and it was busy. As with a majority of North Texas courses they did not have cart service, on a 100 degree day with 79% humidity. Seriously! I played in Colorado last week and every course had cart service XL (one cart for each 9). If LAGC would address that issue I'd rate the course much higher. Same goes for all other north Texas courses that have cart service issues.
Lake Arlinghton course
Greens had lot of weeds, affected ball some and speed. Fairways in pretty good shape.
Meh...
Considering I got to play for free it was fun. I don't know what the average price is to play here but I know I wouldn't pay it. Played with a group of 7 and our tee time was fairly early but the pace of play was still slow. Greens, fairways, and bunkers were all in good condition. The course layout though was awful. They have crammed 18 holes all on top of one another. Other people on the course were very rude. And there is no driving range. The Marshals got onto our group for pace of play when it was the twosome in front of us that was taking forever. Also there was construction going on all around the course. I wouldn't play again but hey you may enjoy it.
Narrow Fairways & Horrible Greens
I played with 2 buddies of mine on July 15, 2017, we are just recreational golfers and love to have a good time and play golf but this course was super disappointing. Two major problems is first the layout of the course is on top of each other. Each hole is right next to each other the only thing separating them part is about 25 yards of "rough" which therefore makes the fairway pretty narrow. Secondly, the greens are the worst I've been this year by far. Weeds absolutely everywhere, making the ball jump pretty high and inconsistent. The only bright spot the back 9 was a little better on greens and layout.
This course is always consistent and fun to play.
The course is in good shape when you look at the up and down weather so far this year. Greens were very true to reacting to the read, and speed was very consistent through all 18 holes.
Course to narrow
The course is way to narrow between holes. Constantly would loose balls or shoot into another fairway, had others peoples balls coming from everywhere. Greens were well kept, course very crowed play very slow. For the money I would look elsewhere.
Average
Got a hot deal, early afternoon, lots of walkers but play was fast. Greens not very challenging. Not a favorite but will take beginners here.
Not recommended for woman golfers who don't like sharing carts
Most of the time I play by myself, and I hope this course can be nicer to women who play by themselves... I don't mind being paired with other golfers, but sharing a cart with someone I don't know is uncomfortable... but I'm also not surprised that they always want you to share a cart.
For all woman golfers, if you don't like to share a cart with someone, don't book this course.
Fairly nice course.
Lake Arlington is a fun course to play. Not that many trouble spots on the course, so you can shoot a good score if you hit it fairly straight. Fairways were dry and hard in places, and they had just arrieated the greens, so there was a lot of sand on them. Had a good time and will play it again.
Problem with Military Tee Time Discount
Course and staff were great but when I arrived and asked for the 15% that was promised on Military Tee Times, I was told that was between me and Military Tee Times which didn't make sense to me. I chose not to be a jerk and demand it so I never got my 15% off- please work that out with your courses so it doesn't happen to others in the future.
Greens ok BUT..
Played LAGC in what is considered late spring...all the flowers and trees in bloom. Grass has been green and out of dormancy since late February EXCEPT at LAGC. The fairways were brown. Barely a blade of green grass on them. Looks like they havent been watered in a month. The rough is green and really considered pastureland instead of grass. The first cut around the greens were almost as short as the green itself..but actually was an 1/8" longer than fairway grass...not exactly plush. But the rough along the fairways could definitely be considered hard pan. This course is in terrible condition and i would barely pay $10 to play it. I have played it at least 20 times and it has never been as this bad as far as i can remember. The one good thing about the course as of right now is the greens. They are in fairly good shape and roll pretty smooth and true. Dont waste your money or time. For the price there are better options.
Lake Arlington
The course was in great shape. Challenging but not overly difficult. Rare to find a course without a bunker these days! The people were friendly and respectful when I checked in. Felt like I was still at home.
Greens
Greens where awesome, best I have seen them. Granted it was o my my 10th time playing here.
Worth the money
I love playing Lake Arlington because every hole is fun and played in 3.5 hours.
