The best golf courses in Arlington, Texas

“Tillie layout never gets old. Could play this every day gladly. Never played it pre-redesign but the current iteration is awesome. Worst hole on the course is 18 but rumor has it they have a plan to fix it. 8 is an awesome par 3. 15 and 16 are two other favorites.”

“One of the smoother walks in golf, Colonial is a special historic course. The Perry Maxwell design, with Hanse Reno is just a fantastic combo of architects. It’s a tough course that is just very hard to overpower.”

“Never been a huge Fazio fan. Practice areas are ludicrous and why oodles of Tour guys play here. Other than a scenic elevated tee shot on 10, I struggle to pick out many memorable or particularly well designed holes.”

“The OCM redesign is charming, playable, visually appealing, and delightful. I’m very surprised this course doesn’t get more attention on best of Texas lists given the club’s illustrious history and layout.”

“Most polarizing course in Dallas. Nothing like it in the city (or state) and tends to draw love/hate reactions. I fall somewhere in between but generally like it. Despite that it inexplicably sits on some T100 lists when it’s maybe top 5 in DFW.”

“The golf course is challenging but fair. Probably too much course for most as an every day experience, especially when the wind kicks up. Staff is truly exceptional. For a high end club, there is a refreshing level of authenticity and down to earth friendliness.”

“Decidedly mediocre and no amount of irrational fandom from members can convince me otherwise. The property is brutally cramped and numerous holes get super jammed up. Greens are their calling card but I found them dull and unimaginative. They’re all severely back to front.”

“Trees are the main challenge on the course, holes present some different challenges with dog legs but no elevation change or water, few sand traps only around the greens. Greens were pure. Pace of play was terrific.”

“This is a country club not a golf club and after playing you’ll never get that confused. The course is kept in flawless condition but is confined to a tight piece of property where a wayward drive is likely to hit a billionaire’s house or the HP Village Prada store.”

“Underrated. Fun and pretty holes. 10 is an awful hole, but other than that great course. Bad practice facilities”

“Texas Star is a pleasant surprise. When I've played, it's been in very good condition for a cheap course in TX. There were a few holes that really stood out, some great elevated greens, and a couple where there are real strategic choices to be made.”

“I think it’s pretty fun. Typically slow, hard to keep condition up with the amount of play. Wouldn’t pay full rate as they do lots of deals”

“Rockwood is a fantastic track that has suffered from complete mismanagement. Greens have been killed twice in the last 3 years and there’s not currently a proper greenskeeper.”

“fun, affordable track that almost always in good shape. Spring and fall the greens can get incredibly fast for Bermuda”

“Horrible pace of play, 5.5 hour round almost. Conditions were fine ish but lots of repair going on, greens were solid I guess.”
