LAKE ARLINGTON GOLF COURSE
🇺🇸 Arlington, TX, USA
Designed by Ralph Plummer


Lake Arlington Golf Course is a municipal facility in Arlington, Texas, designed by Ralph Plummer and opened in the mid-1960s. Plummer, a regional architect active across Texas during that era, created numerous accessible public courses that brought golf to growing suburban communities in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The course sits on gently rolling terrain characteristic of north-central Texas, with the layout incorporating views of Lake Arlington, a reservoir that serves both recreational and water supply purposes for the city.
The routing works across modest elevation changes and features several holes that play near or along the lake's edge, adding both scenic interest and strategic considerations when wind affects play. Mature trees frame many fairways, a product of decades of growth since the course opened, and the design reflects the straightforward, playable style common to municipal golf of its period—emphasizing accessibility for everyday golfers rather than severe challenge. Greens are typically moderate in size with gentle contours.
Lake Arlington serves a broad local population and hosts regular public play, junior programs, and community tournaments. The facility includes a practice range and clubhouse with basic dining services. As one of Arlington's longstanding public golf options, it occupies an important role in the city's recreational landscape, providing an affordable and convenient venue in a region where golf participation has grown alongside the metroplex's expansion.
