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.

Unique Course
From the first time I played I knew I would come back to this course. It's a good mix of open and narrow fairways, it's a challenge if you aren't accurate off the tee. Great signature Par 3 pennisula green, I call this course my third home. Has a great practice area, the Mastery course, they keep up just as well as the main course. If you live in or around Arlington you have to play here.
Pristine condition
Course was in excellent condition. Staff was outstanding. Course was very challenging for a high handicapper like myself. Best course in Arlington.
Great deal and pleasure to play
Got a good deal through Golf Now hot deal and pace of play was great. The course is in really good condition. The staff in both pro shop and grill were extremely friendly and mad the day even more enjoyable.
Great condition
Course is always in great condition and kicks my butt.
Pace of play improved since last time!
I played Tierra Verde this past weekend and was shocked at the pace my buddy and I were able to maintain. (3.5 hours) I was playing the course frequently several years ago and finally got fed up with the 4:45 - 5:15 rounds and vowed never to return. My buddy talked me in to giving it another chance. I must say we paid full price on a weekend so perhaps that had something to do with it. Regardless the pace was great and the course was in great shape!
One of the better metroplex courses
Haved played this course many many times since it opened in 1998. Has always been a good test. Irrigation system broke down a few weeks ago and the course didn't get any water for many days. As an result, it is much browner than it should be, but stuff happens as they say.
All in all, still one of the better courses in DFW. For what they charge, especially on weekends, it represents a fair value....not a
great one.
One of the best maintained courses in DFW
The conditions on this course make it well worth the extra money. They don't offer a lot of specials, but the course is always pretty crowded so they don't need too. The fairways on this course are like hitting off of a carpet - they are that good. The greens were also very good.
course is layed out according to Texas terrain. Bermuda green and fairways.
Played at a temperature of 103. Not used to weather,being from mtns. of N.C. Bermuda greens were slow. Well maintained,for the lack of rain. Had to drive ball in fairway,or rough was unplayable.
Fair course, fun to play
For the twilight rate it was awesome. There was nobody out there so we played as quickly as we wanted
this course is fun!
great course.. very well maintained and difficult but not impossible made a couple of birdies and one double bougey so it evens out... Ill be playing there soon
Coursre in great condition
Course in great condition ,very recommemdable ,will gladly.retur8n very soon
Great Value! Well Maintained Course.
It's a bit of a drive, but an easy one, to get to Tierra Verde from Dallas, but for the money you pay, the friendliness of the staff, and the condition of the golf course, I always find it worth it. They had seemingly recently punched and sanded the greens when we played last week, but they were recovering nicely, and rolled suprisingly true. I've never had a bad experience at Tierra Verde. The only minor complaint I would have, is I have seen every time I've played there that the pro shop will send out a foursome, a single, a foursome, two twosomes, a foursome etc... Not great management of groups, but that's my only negative note. In general, I really enjoy heading out to Tierra Verde.
Overall nice course
I played this course about a month ago and it was in pristine condition. My second experience wasn't as good because the greens had been punched and sanded the day prior and addition to that the skies opened up after my third hole and the staff closed the course due to the rain and gave me a credit of half of what I paid towards a future round. Great course to play but make sure there is no rain in the forecast because your rain check will be skewed in favor of the course!
Beware of Ron J. - asst. golf pro if using GolfNow
I had to give a bad review. However, Ron ruined the experience. I am an experienced, 46 year old golfer that plays the back tees and try to always be courteous & conscientious. This was my first time to play this course. Due to rain & lightning I went back to the clubhouse. He acted like a rain check wasn't an option. I waited 20 minutes & then asked. He complained about not getting any revenue from a GolfNow booking, and then begrudgingly told me to contact GolfNow for the rain check. He then began to lecture me on playing ahead of the guy they paired me with - claiming they don't do singles on the tee box?? I politely informed him that I went ahead of the guy because the guy they paired me with wanted to ball hawk & that I had the Marshall's permission. Nonetheless, he continued down an arrogant & agitated path. I left politely, but resolved I would not go back. This was my first time to play the course. There are too many good courses in the DFW area to put up with this guy.
Like being in the country, but you aren't.
Wide fairways, huge greens that roll well, country quiet course. One of my favorites courses.
Awesome Course
If you come to Dallas / Ft. Worth area for work, make sure to go out and play this course. Staff is very nice, rental clubs are sweet and course is awesome. Big undulating greens can be tough though.
Best course in FTW
Always great staff, Cours ein great condition. Best for the money
The course was awesome!!!! Fairways, rough, and greens were in perfect condition. There was not a bad spot on the golf course!

True Greens - Tight Fairways at times.
Fairways are tight and if you miss the fairway it's a lost ball.
Well maintained all year round.
One of my favorite courses. Friendly staffs. Course always in a great shape.
