The Tierra Verde Golf Club has earned recognition as the best public golf course in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.

Avid Golfer Magazine gave the Tierra Verde Golf Club a number one ranking in its Best Municipal Golf Course category. Tierra Verde ranked third in the category of Best Practice Facilities and fourth in the Best Bermuda Greens category.

The rankings were part of the magazine’s annual "The Best of Public Golf 2003" survey. The results were published in the November issue. Founded in 1997 as the golfing authority for the Metroplex, Avid Golfer Magazine has a circulation of 50,000 and a monthly readership of more than 200,000.

Tierra Verde is the City of Arlington’s newest public golf course. Located at 7005 Golf Club Drive in southwest Arlington, Tierra Verde is more than 7,000 yards of golfing terrain over a rolling landscape. The course was designed to be sensitive to the environment. Tierra Verde has achieved Audubon Signature status, which is awarded to clubs designed and constructed using Audubon International’s Principles of Sustainable Resource Management - wildlife conservation and habitat enhancement, water quality management and conservation, energy efficiency, waste reduction and integrated pest management.

The facility has a lighted driving range, three practice holes, and lessons and clinics taught by professionals from the Professional Golf Association.
