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.

Greens punched and sandy
They weren't very busy on a wed afternoon at noon. In fact I didn't even see the group ahead of me till 18. The greens were very sandy after being punched about a week ago it looked like. I was still able to putt under 2 strokes on all the greens. Being able to hit it straight is a must at this course as the rough will steal your ball!
Add it to your list
It is a pretty good pull from Frisco where i live, but had business out that way. I am glad I took the opportunity to play. Course was in great shape, greens were a tad slow, but rolled great. I'll definitely make an effort to play again.
great if you are a low handicap golfer!!
This is a beautiful course, but it is extremely challenging. If you miss the fairway, you are in tall grass and no chance of finding your ball. There is no playable rough, so bring plenty of balls, and expect a high score. If I was good enough, this course would be amazing. Too challenging for someone with my skill level.
One Of the Best In DFW
After a few holes it's easy to see why Arlington is so proud of this course. There are plenty of demanding shots required off the tee along with trouble on both sides of most fairways - I started out with trouble right on hole one.
The par 3's all take a different club and are affected by the prevailing wind.
Many elevation changes here make this a course demanding a variety of shots - I always struggle on the uphill par-5.
A couple of holes have a creek crossing the fairway - usually right where I hit it.
Staff was very nice both in the golf shop and on the course.
Good value here.
Nice touch course
Well maintained golf course, one of my favorite golf course in DFW area. Would recommend to anyone.
The course needs water
Pro shop was a little short with us. He was complaining about the booking not telling how much to charge each player. I don' think he likes people booking on line.
I really enjoyed the challenge of the course, I am sure the next time I will play better now that I have played it once.
Disappointing condition
Overall a very good course, nice design with interesting layout and variety. It's high priced for a public, city course. They seem to be trying to make it more upscale than the other 2 city courses, which are much more reasonably priced. The biggest problem I had with the course was the poor condition. I was absolutely shocked that the condition of the greens, and fairways were so bad. It could be that I had just played Texas Star the day before and the course was immaculate. There was no comparison. Or, it could be that I'm expecting too much from a city course. At any rate, I wouldn't come back at their normal price point. It's a good deal only if you can get your round discounted like I did through GolfNow. They're asking for premium price for a far less than premium conditioned course.
Pro shop needs friendly meds. Check in was ok. late crew would lift a finger to say hello and thanks for spending almost 300 with fees food and sodas.

GREAT LAYOUT!
Tremendous course! A wonderful layout, kept in remarkable condition considering the amount of play it gets. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. One of the best values in the DFW area!
Best place to play in DFW
Course was in great shape. With Golf Now Great value
Staff should have warned me about condition
Had I known that the greens fairways and tee boxes were punched and every hole was playing on the women's tee box I never would have paid for my friend and I to go play our match at Tierra Verde. Not only did it not say anything online or over the phone but we didn't even know until we got to the first tee box that the entire course was in poor playing condition.
Challenging Course with great greens
Play here quite often and it's never disappointing. Tight landing areas and undulating greens make this one of the best courses in the area. We always play it from the tips and i have only broken par there on a couple occasions (+ hndcp)
Might not be worth the full value but they have many discounted tee times on golf now and we always snatch them up
Love this course. Would play more often if I didn't live so far away.
Loved the course. The greens were in excellent shape, and the fairways were very good (especially for February). The greens have lots of undulations, but roll true. The staff is super friendly.
Great Greens for this time of year
Very good course. Played full round in a about 3-1/2 hours it was a weekday but it was still good play.
love this course
very good course. Greens are well mantained. Bunkers are raked. course is Awesome. Ronnie at check talked and treats you like you should be treated. Again LOVE THIS COURSE!!!
What agreat lay out!
This course has such a great design to it! I enjoy playing here as often as I can and the greens are excellent! If you have never played here then you need to go!
If you can stand a very slow pace of play, this is an enjoyable course.
Pace of play on this course was very slow. 11:30-5:30 is too long for 18 holes in my opinion. The staff was very friendly and courteous. This may have been part of the problem. The course marshall was not moving one slow foursome along that was holding up 5 groups behind them. The course is in good shape and well maintained. I like the layout. Just too slow today. I wuld not pay full price for this course. With the GolfNow discount it was a reasonable value.
Nice
A good course. Their staff met us already in the parking lot and helped us with everything, nice! We had a nice round
One of the best in the metroplex
A group of my friends played Tierra Verde on Saturday, 10/27, and even though it was a little cold outside, it was a great round of golf. We found a golfnow hot deal for less than $20 per person, and this course is worth 3 times that! The fairways are in great shape, and the greens are excellent! I've found myself searching for courses that have greens as nice as these, and I will definitely be back to Tierra Verde soon!
Best public course in the Dfw
Course is in the best shape from tee to greens , I recommend you to go out and play you will enjoy your round and the staff are great it also has one of the best practice facilities in the area .
