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.

A true hidden Gem...
I live here in Arlington, and have seen this course grow over the years. Since they redid the greens the course has been in great shape. Price point is borderline if you are riding. If walking it's a great price point. The front nine is totally different from the back nine. The back nine Par-three #14 is one of the most challenging par-three's in the Metro-Plex. There are no bunkers but there are other things that will get you into trouble. A true must play,.
Good buy
If you can find the hot deal for this course it's a good buy. Course is in good shape. No driving range though. Greens weren't chewed up and tee boxes and fairways in good shape. Pace of play was a bit slow bc they allowed a 5 some. Overall not bad
Course was in very good shape
We were very pleased with the course and the difficulty of the course was not bad. Good layout and good pace.
Noticeable improvements!!!!!
It's been about a year since I've played this course, but the improvements are very noticeable. The teeboxe's are in very good shape. The greens have a true roll to them, very smooth. You must manage your speed and read your breaks, no gimme's here. I loved them. Fairways in great shape for this time of the year, nice hitting surface. New fence post, repaired bridges, and new ball washers adds to the noticeable improvements. Great job!!!
Slow play
After a few holes and catching up to the group ahead of us, we waited 5 minutes for every shot. We waited for 10 minutes to tee off most times. The course placed fivesomes in front of twosomes in front of foursomes and no greens marshals were around to monitor play. We quit after 14 holes and 4 hours into the round. The course was in good shape. Can't remember the last time we bailed on a round because of slow play.
Decent course.
Pace of play sucked. No Marshall. Greens were o.k.
Good Municipal Course
This is in pretty good shape after a hot summer. I enjoyed playing there and will definitely try to play it again. The greens are a little slow but are in good shape
First Time to Play Lake Arlington
Great Course for the price, enjoyed the views and the challenging greens!
Look forward to playing again soon!
Lake Arlington
The greens are good right now. The rough was very thick and difficult to get through. Pace of Play was 5 hours.
Never again....
I've always had bad experiences at this course in the past but decided to give it one more try against my better judgment. They always overbook and run 20-30 minutes late off the first tee, and the pace continues to crawl for all 18 holes. As a result, our tee time was at ten AM but we didn't leave the course until after 3:30! But the pace of play isn't even as bad as the clubhouse staff, who are rude, entitled and arrogant.
Good practice course
Had a pretty good round. Although they could use a marshall. Got through the front nine in two hours. The back nine was close to 3.
Tricky Dickey Greens
Said I would never return to this course. Glad I did!
Greens were is wonderful shape - very grainy and very fast with the grain. I really had a hard time with the
subtle movements. Missed four real birdie putts. Fairways were also in good condition. They say that back side is harder than the front, but I played it much better. Be careful of the fairway pond on #3. A good drive with just a little too much fade will put you in it. So, a 3 wood is probably, even a. duffer's, best choice of club. If you can, go over the trees left, at #8. Leaves you only a 50 yard chip. It is easy to hit through the fairway on #12 and #13. With no wind, take two clubs less and maybe three on#14. There are no bathrooms on the course that I found. And, the water hydrants are very inconspicuously located. Over-all, I like this course.
Nice For A Friday Afternoon
Had a nice time playing in the afternoon. Not very busy at all. Fast Fast greens!!!!! Some open fairways and some narrow one's. Provides some challenges. Nice course for all levels of play.
Lake Arlington GC
good course, good rate, good fun, went after heavy rain, course held up nice.
Terrible customer service!!!
Where do I start! First off the guy in the pro shop has terrible customer service skills. He refused to give me a cart even though I prepayed my tee time through golf now. I was there 15 before my tee time but he told me I had to wait until he figured out where all the people on the course was at. He then began to tell me that people have not payed him before that's why he didn't give me a cart. I told him a prepayed and he still refused to give me a cart. Every time I play this course the same guy in the pro shop gives me a hard time. Great course. Management definitely needs to address this issue with this guy!
great course for a good round of golf.
Enjoyed my round of golf at this course. Moderate challenge for our group.
simplicity
Simple course but has its own challenges and had a good pace . Will definitely play there again.
looking good
overall good condition. Some tee boxes were unlevel, but that would be my only complaint.
Bang for your buck
Rains have helped get this course in better shape. Tee time at 7:30 AM on a Saturday morning with a walking rate (on a walkable shorter course) was $30. Played in less than 4 hours too.
