Played Lake Arlington this past Saturday. It was soaked from the prior night's rain and it drizzled a couple times...but the course held up nicely. Couple puddles, but expected. Greens were smooth and rolled quicker than expected with the damp conditions. Rough is super deep, so don't stray off...
It's a tight track and used to be even tighter before they removed a couple hundred trees...which helped conditions and pace of play.
I live 10 mins from it but rarely play there due to the crowded tee sheet. I like the course tho, definitely a good layout.

If you have an open spot, I'd join you guys. Played Lake Arlington alot when I lived over that way, over in Keller now so I make it over there 1-2 times a month now.

Not far from Lake Arlington is Meadowbrook that is currently undergoing a major renovation.
NOTE: there are 2 Meadowbrook courses. I am talking about the Fort Worth course....do not get it confused with the Arlington "Meadowbrook" course.
Renovations were MUCH needed for the Fort Worth...
Holes 11, 12, 13, 14 will make or break your round at Lake Arlington. 14 is a 240ish yard par 3 from the tips, with a elevation drop of about 200+ feet.
Depending on the wind and how hard the ground is, I've hit a range between a 1w/3w to 7i...lol. Par is a great score on that hole!

Other munis I've played and would recommend...most of Ft Worth side of town
Hawks Creek - good conditions, cool layout
Cross Timbers - TX Hill Country feel, great conditions
Grapevine - good conditions, hard to get tee times
Irving - good conditions, interesting characters at this place

Yessir...the big fans were a bit of a joke. I recall randoms that I got paired with hitting into the fans. Definitely a good laugh.

Sky Creek obviously gets alot of traffic, so hope the water situation gets resolved. After they cleared out alot of tree overgrowth, the course (and pace of play issues) improved.
As others commented, I'm sure it's lush right now...but summers have always taken a toll on this place. The...
Facts....tried to get him to play there before and he said no thanks. Candidly, I prefer other options over FC too.
I watched the first 9 holes and it's cool to see our local track get some pub, also funny to see them hit into the same spots (and trouble) as I do....

It's 10 mins from me and I've played it alot, will definitely give it a watch. As for the course itself, it's a pretty good track layout-wise, and conditions improved after they removed some trees / cleaned up some brush.

You'd have to call about club rental...but i would assume cowboys has rentals, the others I'm not so sure about.
As for tee times, depends on when you are looking to play -- but all of these get medium to high traffic overall. If you are looking for a weekend morning (7am to 10am), good...
Completely agree, had a great time and glad I finally met you...3-4 years later...and a year after you moved to the area.
Definitely will need to go again soon. Perhaps @Nate won't be buried in his phone for the back 9 next time out...lolol...hope it was worth it.
