Lake Arlington Golf Course, TX Tee Times

Lake Arlington Golf Course is probably one of the best public courses in the area, especially for the price. The only thing I’d say they lack is a driving range. Aside from that, the overall experience is great. The course itself is well maintained, challenging, and extremely fun to play, with interesting holes and great use of the landscape. It really makes you think through your shots and can help improve your overall game. One thing I really appreciated was the active ranger presence throughout the course. They do a great job ensuring pace of play, keeping groups moving, and helping maintain order. The course conditions were solid, and the layout makes it one of the most enjoyable rounds I’ve played in a long time. For the price, this is easily one of the best values you’ll find in the DFW area. I would definitely recommend this course and will continue coming back.

I need to give credit where credit is due. I've been playing this course off and on for 25+ years. It has certainly had its ups and downs (like all courses), but I was certainly impressed with the course today. This review is regarding my round on 7/27/2025. First of all, the $52 weekend green fees are certainly reasonable compared to the going rate at a variety of DFW courses. I found my golf cart to be in pretty good shape, and it had the yardage/GPS screens included. I've paid plenty more than that at other courses without the GPS perk. There were also additional storage cubbies near the roof of the cart. The staff was great. I wasn't two steps into the clubhouse and was greetly nicely by the staff. The cart girl came around at least 4 times during the round, which was welcomed in this Texas heat. I can tell there has been some money and work poured into the course recently (maybe the last year or few years). All of the cart paths were smooth, and the areas surrounding tee boxes/fairways are "kept up" a lot more than I remember. Sightlines have improved (for example, blue tee box on 7 to the green looks great; tee box on 4 to the fairway is a more player-friendly angle/view than it used to be). The fairways were in great shape (especially with the heat they are exposed to and compared to several other DFW courses at this time). The greens were rolling really well too. This course has some strong/fun tests, including the 220 yard, downhill par 3 next to the Lake Arlington dam; the down-and-up dogleg right par 4 12th; the 8th hole where you can try and drive over the trees for an easier 2nd shot. The course is also friendly as there are zero sand bunkers, and I can't recall any forced carries. To sum it up, I'd say this is course is one of the best values in DFW. For $52 (weekend rate), you'd be hard pressed to show me another course that can hold up to the value in Lake A's hole variety, solid conditions, and friendly staff... and don't forget the GPS! The course staff and maintenance crew deserve some credit.

This was my first time playing this course. And ohh am I'm hooked. What a well kept course. The green were very consistent. Fairways borderline with gorgeous trees. And lots of trouble. And you will need to position your ball for the next shot a lot of blind spots and there's no hole the same. Just what a awesome course. And wait the staff was amazing. I didn't have a tee time in the Pro Shop got me out. So if you haven't played here I would definitely suggest you check it out!!!

Incredible course for the price. Fun layout, risk vs reward shots are plentiful, and well kept greens, fairways, and tee boxes. I have played Lake Arlington for 20 years now, and I keep coming back.

Great layout for course. First thought it was weird to mot have bunkers then then the fairways were lined with trees and greens were well protected by slopes and undulating greens. Would and will play again.
