Old at Firewheel Golf Park
About
Firewheel is Texas’ most impressive example of municipal golf. Owned and operated by the city of Garland, and extremely popular because of the fair price and number of available golf holes, Firewheel now sports 63 holes since the new Bridges course opened in the past few years. All three tracks can be challenging because they each incorporate a variety of hazards into their designs, including limestone that is scattered throughout the property.
The Old Course, the traditional layout, was rated No. 1 by the Dallas Morning News. Water hazards come into play throughout the design, such as on hole #18, a 400-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot and an approach shot over the same creek, which winds through the hole. Hole 9 is the feature hole, a 552-yard par 5 that rolls downhill. The tee shot is into a narrow landing area carved out of trees, and on the approach you must be in perfect position because of the strategically placed pecan trees. Number 18 is challenging with both the tee shot and the approach over a creek that winds through the hole.

Golfer Reviews
Great Course
This course is a fun course. It is well maintained, good sand, fairway, rough, boxes, and greens. The golfers could do better by repairing green divots but can’t hold the course accountable for poor golfer’s etiquette. One downside was no cart girl, they had an explanation for it but still not an excuse. Also, I played in the PM and the water coolers on the course were bone dry. It’s TX, it’s August, and it’s the 3pm round, take care of your business customers and ensure safety. Especially since you don’t have a cart driving around that could sell me waters. One time I was at the driving range in the pm and there was water in the cooler, I poured a cup and the water temperature was 100 degrees. There is so much potential here.
Firewheel old course
Enjoyed the round, fairways, and greens were in great conditions. Would definitely go back.
Still some watering issues
I play all of the Firewheel courses regularly. The recent renovation of the Old Course was much needed and things are in far better condition than before. However, especially in hot weather there are wet and muddy areas near all the greens, from heavy irrigation and in some cases leaky pipes or sprinkler heads. making approach shots much more difficult than they need to be. You can't run the ball up onto the greens because of this.
They need to pay more attention to spot-watering the areas that are turning brown and to fixing those leaks. The same problem exists on all the Firewheel courses, by the way.
Course in great shape
Course in great shape and greens almost in great shape. They rolled true. Pace was ok and the marshaller was out in force but the slow 3 some never picked up the pace. I’ll be back.
Nice Gem.
Really nice layout and hats off to the staff for the condition of the course. It’s a real shame that a majority of the seniors who were playing ahead of us, don’t know how to repair ball marks. If you and bend over to put a tee in the ground, you can bend over and fix a ball mark!
Great place
All three course are in great shape price is good and pace of play was good. My go to course
