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.

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.
Thank you for the 5 star review and feedback of our facility and staff! We look forward to your next visit. Sincerely, Tierra Verde Golf Club Management

Great day of golf at Tierra Verde
This was the first time I have ever played this course. The pro shop staff was very friendly. The course was in great shape and we played 18 holes in 3 hours. There were not many people playing that day but not sure why since the course is in great shape.
Arlingtons Showcase
This course is Arlington's showcase and always has been. Its a quiet peaceful setting with no homes, cars etc. to distract you. What can I say that hasn't already
been said about it. The course condition, and all other amenities are impeccable as always. Id like to make an exceptional note about the staff that is always courteous and helpful.
Thank you for the 5 star review and feedback of our facility and staff! We look forward to your next visit. Sincerely, Tierra Verde Golf Club Management

Close to Home
I am so fortunate to live so close to an amazing public course. It's my favorite course and would want to go here even if it weren't so close to home.
Try the buffalo chicken sandwich and fries after your round, you can't go wrong...yum!

Great course.
Always enjoy playing this course. We were a group of two that got placed behind a group of five, thus play was very slow. But course was in great shape.
Great Course
I took a friend to play here as his birthday gift and it turned out great! Even though I was late because of an accident, they still held a tee-time for us. Unfortunately, by the time I got there and we teed off, it was just after 2:00 PM in Texas in July. The heat eventually got to us but the course could not control that. The course was clean, kept up very nicely, and because of the weather, we practiaclly had the course to ourselves. The only thing I would recommend the course to get is either GPS mapping or a yardage book. There were quite a few times where we used a club based off the sprinklers and we were either way over or short. But all in all, a great course.
WOW !!!
The WOW started in the parking lot when my wife and I were greeted by a young man with our golf cart and a greeting and welcoming smile... PLUS the player assistant "Smitty"...In the pro shop, greetings by our names, how about that...went to the bar for beer, drinks and ice...more of the same,Wow that's service...When we got to #1, beautiful... got a Birdie to start,WOW..The course was in awsome shape...AND did I mention they had just punched the greens??? real fine sand , the ball rolled smooth and thru. and still fast...WOW ,would love to play when they heal. OK hear comes "Smitty etc etc NO he brings us a Tierra Verde golf ball ...WOW turns out "Smitty" was from MD and lived less than a half mile from our house in MD.yrs ago took pictures with him on #14, WOW...
the course and golf was great, but the hospitality was top notch warm and friendliest I've ever experienced in our 8 yrs of playing golf... thank you to all staff and great people at Tierra Verde Golf Cub....WOW Dwight from Maryland...

Great shape
Course was in fantastic shape. Greens rolled perfect and Bermuda was carpet. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Great deal on GolfNow. If you have never played there, take lots of golf balls. if you have, you know exactly where you are supposed to play from. This is an Audubon golf course - lots of unplayable native areas. Great setting for golf though. Staff admitted bunkers were under renovation. A very enjoyable place to play golf.
Thank you for the 5 - Star review and feedback of our course and staff! We look forward to your next round with us!

Great Day
Driving accuracy is critical. Fairways were in excellent shape, but greens were just a little slow which seems to be the norm everywhere right now. This is one of my favorite courses in the Metroplex. It is a little far from Plano, but worth the trip. We played on a Tuesday afternoon (3 players) and finished in less than 3.5 hours. I absolutely love this course.
Thank you for the 5 - Star review and feedback of our course and staff! We look forward to your next round with us, safe travels!

Great Course!
Staff was awesome, and course was in the middle of a beautiful area. Must play if you haven't. Greens were great and fairways were in great shape too. If you are looking for a place to play, you should add this one to your list!
Thank you for the 4 - Star review and feedback of our course and staff! We look forward to your next visit.

Great Track
Great day at Tierra Verde! Course was in excellent shape (even with aerated fairways)! Pace of play was at 4 hours and got a great price at Golfnow. So nice to play away from houses and cars. Also a great warm-up area and restaurant. Will be back soon.
