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 experience
staff was very friendly and helpful. Course was in excellent condition. Pace was a little slow but the staff got the group in front of us moving.This is a hidden jewel in the metroplex and we will play it again.
Great course, high value muni
Course was in great shape and we played in 3 hours. Originally they paired four of us up. All of us got a hotdeal to play for about $25. We ended up splitting up into 2's and counting the twosome that took off in front of us that made 3 pairs of 2. Didn't really see anyone else on the course all day and all three groups played at a very good pace. Really enjoyed this course. It's far enough outside the urban area's without being hard to get to. It's designed so you rarely see any of the other holes. Fairways and greens were in great shape. The conservation mentality has served to create a beautiful atmosphere to enjoy the day.
Great if UNDER $40.00
I love this course, and have had fun and challenging rounds every time I've played. What I do t love is the full price teetime! I'd never ever pay $70 to play here - it's NOT even close to a $70 round. Wait for the deals and you'll feel good about it.
Wish I could have Finished it
My buddies and I played a twilight game at Tierra Verde which I absolutely recommend. The price drops substantially and a group of fairly average players should be able to play all 18 before sundown (at least during summer months). Can be difficult to find, but all that really means is that traffic through the course may be lighter than other courses in the metroplex.
Great course
The best municipal course I've ever played. The staff was welcoming and friendly. The greens and fairways were in great shape. We had so much fun we played the first nine again.
great golf
Excellent golf and it was in great shape. They are aerating this week so call ahead of you're playing.
Outstanding Course
We played this course two days in a row, it is in great shape.
I've played here many times before, but this is as good as it gets. This course in excellent condition right now with great fairways and greens. They have done a wonderful job from early spring to get greens back. I played in March and wasn't sure if they would be able to get these greens back this year, but they surpassed that expectation. All I can say is play it if you can.
great time to play
Overall,great time.Pace of play was unheard of for a sunday.Under 4 hrs!Course is really nice right now.Play it.
Best Muni
I played here early in the spring and the greens and fairways were in terrible. A friend and I tried the course again and I was amazed that it was in such excellent condition. We thought Tierra Verde is the best muni to play in the DFW area and we play them all. Great job by the grounds staff.
Tierra Verde
Good special great place to play, course in great condition
Fantastic Course. Must Play
This course has multiple tee options, and is laid out fairly. It plays tighter and much more difficult from the tips, but sets up as a great challenge. The course is lush, especially for July in Dallas. The greens were relatively and would stop high spinning shots, which is rare in Dallas this time of year. It has lots of elevation changes, some forced carriers, and some "I dare you" holes that try to get you to shorten some distances or drive the greens. Each hole is cut into the woods and it feels like a private layout.
Great shape
It's been several years since I've played the course. It was in great shape. Fairways and greens were all rolling nice. Bunkers were challenging...the two that I picked to get into anyway. I played the tips and several tee boxes were needing work and a couple were being worked on, but mostly in great shape. For some reason every hole played into the wind, which added a challenge on top of a challenge. It was a great day nonetheless. It's in great shape.
Great condition
Course is in great condition. Even though there is no gps yard markers everywhere.

Course is in awesome condition, hidden gem in DFW.
Hidden Gem
Course is in exceptional condition, greens were very receptive and fairways were perfect. Tierra Verde provides a good challenge and great food and beverage services for after the round.
Beautiful Course
Very nice course with excellent greens. Wide open with lots of bunkers. Great for beginners like me who often miss right I found several of my balls were still in play.
better be good off the tee
take extra balls, greens were slow and soft,but good condition.
Mind Blowing Layout
Greens have not recovered completely from spring fungus, and did not putt well. Otherwise a challenging layout that requires real strategy and course knowledge (and a local caddie!). Conditions are outstanding tee to fringe. Will play again ASAP!
Course in Great Shape
Worth the money if you want to play a course in great shape at a mid price range.
