About
Located in a remote southwest part of the city, Tierra Verde is the successful result of Arlington’s Parks and Recreation Department’s effort to provide an upscale, daily fee municipal to complement the other public golf options in town.
Labeled with the new and prestigious Audubon International Signature Certification, this course was the first in Texas and the first municipal course in the world to achieve that honor. The certification signifies that the course was “designed, constructed, and maintained using wildlife conservation and habitat enhancement, water quality management, and water conservation.” What this means for the inconsistent hack is that sprayed shots are not out-of-bounds, but instead buried in a “protected environment.” Unfortunately, the penalty still applies and you’ll need to take your drop. The opening hole is a good example–it’s a basic 355-yard hole, but anything sliced right will find a plum tree thicket, which is the same as hitting it into a lake.
In terms of strategy, you’ll be able to enjoy the generous fairways, but the approaches will require much more precision. Look at the scorecard and get your pars in on the shorter holes, then manage your game to avoid huge numbers on the more difficult holes.
One of the better holes on the front is No. 8, a 518 yard doglegger left that bends hard enough to favor a severe hook. Watch out for the multi-level green and its deceptive turns.
Water is more prominent on the back, as you’ll see on No. 9, a short par 4 that requires a tee shot over water. The narrow fairway squeezes toward the green, and it’s nice to know that the green widens on the back side. The par 5 No. 13 is a birdie hole if you pay attention to the flag position on the huge figure 8 shaped green. This one has water off the tee, as does No. 12. In fact, if you’re short on balls at the turn, you should stock up. Water impacts play time and time again. No. 18, a long par 4 at 437 yards, involves a creek in the fairway that must be carried on the approach.
Other notes: Another bonus at Tierra Verde is the club’s three-hole practice course and lighted driving range.
Getting there : Take US 287 south off of I-20. Find Eden Road and turn right. The entrance is on the left.

Good But Expensive
Very good course, but is not a very good value deal. 70+ for a round is a little too much for this course. 45 - 60 would be more appropriate. Course conditions are usually very good. No homes on this track, so lots of wildlife and scenic views. This course will require you to strike your ball well. If you tend to lose your ball - you will not like this place. Once the ball is Out of Bounds - it's usually gone for good. Pace of play is good as long as you're not behind someone trying to locate their ball thats OB - if so, it will be a long day.
Excellent course in excellent shape. Friendly staff. Couldn't use a coupon for a free round because I used Golf Now to book the tee time..
Thank you for the 4 Star rating. We look forward to your visit soon.
Tierra Verde
Tierra Verde is currently in great shape! No complaints from tee to green. The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The layout is great and I have never felt like I am being crowded. If the course was cheaper I would play there more often. There is always hope.

Good course
Nice layout. Beautiful course. Greens had been aeriated and were a little slower than they should be.
Thank you for the 5 star rating. We hope you return soon for another round.
Not in the best shape
Paid $76.00 on Golfnow. Course was rated very high. Price included small bag of range balls which was nice. The range was nice and had grass tees. The course itself was dissapointing. Greens were punched a couple of weeks before and were not filled in so it was no use putting. The fairways were dried out and very hard with liittle grass and alot of bare spots. Sand traps were filled with stones and not groomed to even basic standards. The layout is nice and the staff was great. Bottom line their is much better courses for the money.
Thank you for the recent feedback of our facility and staff. We use all information to assist our management team with providing an excellent product and service to our customers. We hope on your next visit to Texas you will consider revisiting our facility.
Sincerely, Tierra Verde Golf Club Management
Punched Greens
We found out the greens had just been punched only after we got there so the putting wasn't much fun. No beverage cart at all on the back 9. Course layout is nice. The experience was OK for the price.
Awesome but...
The condition and layout were great. My only complaint was no drink cart on the course. It was a very sunny Sunday afternoon, 80° and there was no one out there during our round. That was irritating but the course is top notch
Thank you for the 4 star review and feedback of our facility and staff! We understand your feelings and will continue to strive for excellence. Look forward to your next visit. Sincerely, Tierra Verde Golf Club Management
Hit em straight
Very nice course with a challenging layout. It is secluded and has generous fairways to help you keep your ball in play. If you miss though, you probably will loose your ball, along with a stroke or two. Plenty of bunkers to find and the greens were in very good condition. The staff were nice and helpful which made it an even better experience.

Fantastic Golf at Tierra Verde...
There are some courses that, when you can find them on Golf Now Hot Deals, you drop everything that you're doing and go play. Tierra Verde is one of those courses. One of the most challenging layouts in D/FW due in no small part to the greens which are always well maintained, but challenging. Course is in very good shape for late February and we played in 4 hours on a Friday afternoon. This is a course that you need to play and play again.

Tierra Verde
The nicest municipal course I've played yet. We were paired with 2 guys that were regulars there and had a great time. The pace of play was slower than I expected, probably due to a couple of fivesomes that were in front of us, but it was a nice day so we didn't mind much. We had a 10am tee time (Tee'd off at 940am) and walked off the final green at about 235-250pm. The greens held the ball nicely and the fairways were in great shape. I will definitely be back.
