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.

Always a Pleasure.
Course in great shape. Very timely in setting you off on time. Seldom have to wait on a shot. Marshals take care of business to maintain pace of play. This is a great challenge course that you could play every day. Take your time and enjoy this beautiful course.
TX Star of Arlington. Solid Course!
It’s a haul from Plano, but always worth the drive. Last week we played the horrible conditioned Tour 18 and what a contrast. Lové Tierra’s greens, fairways, and layout. We will be back.
Thank you for the 5-star review. We are glad you had an excellent experience at Tierra Verde Golf Club. Thank you for playing our course and we hope to see you again soon!
Tierra Verde
Respectable layout from the back tees. There will be several 280 yard carries over well placed fairway bunkers. Some of which are deep, so take care in their avoidance. Greens were spongy and receptive, not quick, and somewhat inconsistent in speed. You can make putts here. Spongy spots cause chips to grab early, so be prepared. Course is fun to play; bunkers need a lot of work however. Some are basically mud, others have some sand, and even others will have a foot of sand.
Thank you for the 4-star review. We appreciate the feedback and will share with staff to continue to look for ways to improve the experience at Tierra Verde Golf Club. Thank you for playing our course and we hope to see you again soon!
Terrible Staff
I was excited about my round today haven't played here In a long time. We were a threesome they add another player who was a senior golfer nice guy but we were playing from the gold and he need the senior tees. But we teed off. And wasn't long and there was a threesome behind us. Was on our rear ends all day. But we were only 8 mins behind pace of 4 hr round even with senior golfer but who did the marshalls give a hard time too us. I put up with until the 17 th hole short par 4 260 yards with Marshall there they teed off and almost hit us and he didn't say a thing to them. Instead came down to us like he was going to to us to speed up. Said something to the pro shop but they defended the Marshall's. This place is terrible I will never play there again. Worst round in a long time and I paid 55 dollars on a Monday round bunch of a holes there. Heres the review I left about your terra verde course.
Beautiful!
Course was in fabulous shape. Greens were in great condition, a bit slow, soft, but totally consistent. Some very interesting holes. Would definitely play this course again!
Practice areas were fantastic, big putting area, plenty of driving range spots. Staff was very friendly. Pace of play was excellent.

Awesome Course!
Really really nice course. I read some reviews of the course where people were low grading it bc of the staff. Golfers don't play a course bc the staff is friendly. Yes, the staff could use a refresher in service etiquette but who cares? It's all about the course and the course is great! I would highly recommend it to any golf lover.

Taking on the heat at Tierra Verde
Generally this is an awesome golf course to play, the layout with the nature is beautiful. Today was topping 102° and the golf course is showing effects from the heat. Overall I thought the price was fair but the greens had been punched about two weeks ago and they were pretty bumpy. I would recommend this golf course but don’t pay over $30 right now.
Thank you for your review. We hope you are able to return under better weather conditions in the near future. You can find the best rates at www. arlingtongolf.com. See you at the course

Great Layout
Tierra Verde is a first rate round! Course was in great shape and the greens rolled well. The layout unique in that you rarely see the other holes. Fairways are generous, but the tee boxes make them appear narrow. Would recommend for sure.

Challenging course
Played the course on 6/11/18 for only the second time. It had been a while and I had forgotten most of the course layout. The course is very good and challenging. The tee shot is most important and course knowledge is very valuable. I hit the ball in places I would have avoided had I known the course better. My only complaints were the greens were fairly slow making putting a little difficult and more/better drinking water been available on the course. Had the greens been faster I would give the course five stars for an overall rating.
