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 great
Course is in great shape. One of my favorites in the metroplex including many private courses.

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.
Thank you for your 4-Star rating. Please keep our facility at the top of your list to return to in a shorter period of time. Best rates are available at www.arlingtongolf.com.

Arlington TX Gem
Great secluded course, excellent course conditions with multiple tees to challenge all handicaps. Course reminded me of many great tracks in PAC NW with marshes, ponds, and wooded areas outlining each hole. Any golfer will appreciate playing here and staff on duty was exceptional. As if that wasn't enough, had the breakfast burrito special for $3.50 which was a good tasty bite to start the round. If you're in the DFW area I highly recommend playing Tierra Verde.

A DFW Gem
Though it is a bit of a drive for many in the DFW area this is truly a gem and well worth the trek. The course conditions were very good, the layout is fantastic, and the overall experience is among the best in DFW.

Worth the Drive
Course is challenging, doesn’t feel like you’re in North Texas. Course is worth the drive from Dallas, if you haven’t played it you need to give it a shot.

Good Bones
This is a fun course that with a little TLC could be really good and maybe once was really good. Great staff, very friendly. Course has had a tough time waking up from winter, greens were a little bumpy and grass was a little thin all the way around.
Thank you for your 4-Star review. It is great to hear your feedback, make sure to schedule your next round at www.arlingtongolf.com for the best rates. The course is in great shape after our indifferent Spring in Texas. See you at the course.
Out of the ordinary.
This typically well conditioned course was in bad shape.
Hopefully it comes back soon.
It’s a great layout.
