Lake Arlington

Salman and I played Lake Arlington Golf Course yesterday.  Pretty nice course.  We give it 3 stars.  The course itself was great but the staff was horrendous.  By far the worst we have ever encountered.  The check-in guy was apathetic.  The cart girl was not friendly, and the girl tending to the bar was the rudest person I have ever encountered in a club house.  Pardon me for interrupting your facebook conversation.  The greens were inconsistent.  Some were fast and some were in desperate need of cleaning up.  But the course itself was very nice; probably some of the best fairways in DFW.  The layout was tight but not too difficult.  Some of the holes felt like they were on top of each other.  E.g. The first and tenth tee boxes were practically side by side, facing the same direction.  No bunkers, but several holes had water in play.  Also, the map on the score card was inaccurate.  E.g. The map would have water separating the fairway from he green so Salman and I would cut back on the power instead of going for the green only to find that we were avoiding an imaginary hazard.

We played at a super consistent pace since the course was deserted and we didn't have to wait for anyone.  There was overcast and a slight drizzle so I'm sure a lot of players stayed home to avoid the weather.  Lucky for us.  We managed to play nineteen holes in three and a half hours.  That includes accidentally playing the 3rd hole twice and taking a break at the turn to eat a quick meal.
