By Will Jordan Arlington’s Tierra Verde Golf Club has been the hallmark of what public golf should be in DFW since its opening in 1998. The 18-hole, par-72 Gary Stephenson design tips out at 6,975 yards and features five sets of tee boxes, making it an enjoyable experience for players of all skill levels. The principal attribute that sets Tierra Verde apart from other public tracks in the area is its designation as an Audubon Signature Sanctuary.
