Slope 129
Rating 73.3

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Playing here again

We played again on Sat afternoon.

They (often) had someone who drove the cart to the car to pick up players and asked about tee times, orient players and such.

The whole course is now punched, fairways, not greens (yet).

Greens are still ok. I've seen better greens at this course.

Green on #14 (par 3) has lots of divots marks, especially on the ridge in the middle of the green. Hope they have someone fixing that because of too many balls hitting the green at high angle.

We saw a couple roadrunners today :-)

Otherwise, 4 stars overall (1 less because of green condition).

Good course, Friendly staff

Green were ok, could be better.

Somewhat challenging course,

Back 9 fairway was punched (greens were not). Hole #9 fairway bunker was redone with beautiful white sand. I wish all the other bunkers were like that.

Has range area, large putting green and chipping green with practice bunker.

The course is next or within an Audubon Society wildlife reserve. So, I often see road runner in the summer.

Expensive in the Weekend mornings. Join Frequent Player Program to get discounts on afternoon hours.

We played here many times.

I think there is a 3-hole practice round, but we never played it.

There is a ball and shoe cleaner at every hole, but no club cleaner at the carts or GPS.

At that price level, GPS is expected.

Don't miss out

Sunny and 70 degrees in Texas on the first of February with a 12:30 tee time...... how can it get any better ? Well, how about if you drove to the course in the car that had your golf clubs in the trunk ! Sadly, as excited as I was to play Tierre Verde for the first time, I did not choose cars wisely. I explained my dilemma in the pro shop and the pleasant response was...."No problem, go get your clubs...we'll work you guys in."
As for the course...it didn"t disappoint. Beautiful rolling fairways, nice greens with some tough par fours nicely balanced with a couple of gettable par fives. My first trip around Tierre Verde was a really fun experience and it won't be the last. Gorgeous course, decent value and the staff was outstanding. Good job Arlington, Thanks

Not As Great as they make it out to be...

I live 2miles from this course and I only play it maybe 3 times a year, and that is only if I have a coupon. The price point of this course is way out of wack. It's just not worth the price. They don't allow push/pull carts and for no good reason. It would increase pace of play, but they don't allow it because they think it makes the course look like a municipal course. Forget about the fact that it is a city course.
It's just not worth the cost.
