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.

Excellent
Worth the drive
Tierra Verde
From tee to green the course is in fantastic shape. I do not believe that I have ever been disappointed by the course conditions. I recommending using the on board gps units to see if there are any hidden bunkers or water hazards, because there are some. Depending on which tee box you play from you will have a few blind tee shots. Its always a fun time at Tierra Verde!
Enjoyable day
Course in fine shape, challenging and fair. Important to play the tee's that match your age/handicap...Nice track in a quiet area and will certainly return!!!
Beautiful but unfai
If you choose to ply this course, be careful about the boxes you play from, and try to play with carts or someone who knows the layout. I saw the amazing reviews and booked a round here for myself and 3 friends (all around 10 hcp). We show up to friendly staff and a nice range. We warmed up and walked the course from the tips. This course was great shape and very beautiful, but it was an unrealistic challenge for even a skilled golfer. Almost every tee shot was either blind or through a narrow window with almost no room for error. Good shots were hardly rewarded and fairways were lined with only a few feet of rough. Outside of the rough were trees to thick to hit out of. I believe the slope rating is far greater than 135. If you choose to play here, play up a box or two and forget keeping score. Appreciate the challenge to make expert level shots and stay in the fairway.
Nice course
This was a very nice course in great shape!

Hot Deal Tee Time
Paired with three singles. Round went pretty well. Check-in was easy. Plenty of practice areas. Course was in great shape. I've played this course twice and both times, no problems.
Soggy
I love this course so i dont want to sound negAtive- This course is awesome in many ways but not after rain storms. It holds water for a while and stays pretty soggy. So when they ask for you to hit from a mat or stay cart path only there is a good reason. Other than that it was great as always!
