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.

You need to play Tierra Verde

Overall the course is in great condition. Spring flooding has been overcome and the course is looking great. There was one sand trap on #2 with water in it, but overall it was JB great shape. Greens rolled true and could be faster, but very playable for all skill levels. Terrain and layout gives you many looks you don't see often on public courses. Tee positions are available for all skill levels and ages. There is no GPS on cart which many courses in this price range offer, so having a range finder helps even with many yardage markers and 6 pin placements marked. Staff and grill crew are very friendly, food and drinks are all reasonably priced compared to other courses in this range.

Don't miss out on a great course and add this to your rotation of play. We routinely play here and get around in 4 hours early mornings. And 4.5 hours as the morning brings some slower players.

bring your driver!

this was a lovely course. very cool holes. the conditions were stellar.

the most important thing about this course is driving the ball well. there are many forced carries and/or narrow driving lanes. if you are struggling off the tee you are going to have a bad time.

if you get off the tee well, then this course if very playable and gives you lots of opportunities to score.

i gather from my friends that it's pretty rare for the public to get a chance to play this course, so if you get the chance you should definitely do it.

Nice layout

The course was in pretty good shape considering the heat of the summer. The greens were smooth but not particularly fast. If you're not hitting it straight expect to lose some balls. Overall though the course is not unfair it just doesn't allow for many wide misses.

This course has great features.

Each hole has five sets of tees, sculpted fairways, strategically placed sand bunkers and water hazards, and is accentuated by beautiful native grasses.
I think very good golf course.

Great place to play

Very much enjoyed Tierra Verde. The course was in good shape and posed several challenges, but also enjoyable and forgiving at times.

My only critiques would be the lack of front 9 cart service, our group was not serviced at all for the first two hours.

Also, there was no starter on the first tee box. The group behind us started to soon and pushed up behind us for the first 5 holes. When the marshall took notice he rectified the pace for the afternoon.

Neither of these things would ever keep me away from Tierra Verde, it's a wonderful facility in a convenient location.

Great Course

Great course that is very well maintained. It will require all the shots in your bag too. It's on a nature preserve and every hole is seemingly dropped in the middle of beautiful woodlands. Friendly and hospitable club house and grille. I will definitely will be back again

Fun course!

The course was in great shape and unlike many they don't leave the aeration plugs everywhere. The greens are difficult to read and after all four tried several times to make particular putts without success we made our own rule LOL. Would go back in a heartbeat.

Incredible value

You have to play this course. I was shocked that this was not a private club given the clubhouse, and the condition and overall layout of the course. Would easily and gladly pay twice the rate to play this course again. Incredible value.

First time playing can be a bit tricky, as the fairways open up more than it appears from the tee. Greens have a lot of undulation as well, making it a tough two putt if you're above the hole.

Great Track

Enjoyed the journey around this course! Many times you come off a green and won't see the next hole until you follow the path around to the next tee. Wooded area but generous fairways. Course was in great shape. The greens had been punched 2 days before, but I'm actually glad I didn't know because I probably would have played somewhere else, but as it turned out they still rolled great. Will definitely be back!

Fun course

I was very impressed with Tierra Verde. There was a lot of rain the day before we played, but the course surprisingly drained pretty well. We still had to navigate around puddles, but that is to be expected as it rained a lot. The course from tee box to greens were in great shape. With a hot deal from Golf Now it was really worth it. I'm not sure I'd pay for the full price though. The only complaint I have is that we only saw the cart girl one time on the course.

Good course.. rates don't match ..

Course is always in good condition.
My only complaint would be the rates..for a good course is on the high end.. with no GPS on carts..
its a good target golf ..you can get around with out hitting driver...putts roll true..

Its worth a trip to check it out and said you played it.

Great Course for the money!

I enjoyed the course and the greens were true and rolled as expected. Fairways were punched but were not a problem on 90% of the holes. Can't wait to play it again...
