About

Holes 9
Type Public/Municipal
Par 36
Length 3553 yards
Slope 138
Rating 37.5

Firewheel Golf Park boasts a total of 63 championship holes. There are three regulation courses: the Bridges, the Lakes, and the Old Course, which boast enough variety to appeal to a wide range of skill levels from novices to pros. The 27-hole Bridges Course even offers three more 18-hole combinations. The layout is comprised of three different nines: the Masters, the Champions, and the Traditions that can be mixed and matched for a different round every time you play at Firewheel. Throughout the course, golfers will face strategically placed bunkers and there are tall oak and pecan trees all along the sculpted fairways. Spring Creek and Rowlett Creek also weave across the landscape, coming into play on several holes. The Masters is the longest of the three nines at 3,553 yards from the back tees.

Keep it going

Nice to see greens and fairways in good shape. Only one bad green and it was makeshift bc of course improvements. Keep up the good work.

Pretty good shape. Great value

Besides the first green being temporary, the greens and the course were in good shape. I like the layout. White tees are like 6000 yards. Shorter par 3s. Over all I’d play here again.

Great condition, but no Marshal

Course is in really good condition given the recent rain, pace of play was horrible though. No starter or marshal present on a busy Saturday to help regulate pace of play. 5 hours for a 2 some, teed off at noon. I will play here again but would advise budgeting for a 5 hour round of golf regardless of group size if playing on the weekend when the weather is nice.

Course conditions

Driving range and tee boxes were good. The greens were in aweful shape and most of the cart path was covered in mud. I won't play here again.

Greens needs some TLC

Played the Champions course and greens were dead grass and they need to redo the grass! I wish the course would just let us play the Masters or Traditions course!

poor greens and fairways

I've played here a lot over the years and it's always been a favorite. However, the greens and fairways were in horrible condition. My group was disappointed.

Poor Value

Came in town for work and found a last minute twilight tee time. The course was almost unplayable....nearly a third of the holes had significant bare or grass-less areas in and around the landing areas of the fairways. Some areas were just completely dirt that should have been marked GUR. The areas around the green were mostly deadpan, bordering on concrete. The bunkers were poorly kept and the greens were heavily pock-marked with obvious annual bluegrass problems and bare spots. I expected a lot more for a DFW area course, but I guess that's what you get for $40 twilight these days. I won't play here again.

Stay Away From The Traditions Nine

The Traditions 9 is nothing more than several old holes cobbled together from the Lakes course. Played on a Saturday and the 9 holes took 3hours to play … yes, three hours to play nine holes. Greens were recently top dressed with sand so it was like putting thru sand traps. Most of the bunkers were unplayable. Also played the Champions 9 . it was enjoyable with several well placed but hidden ponds to steal your golf ball. Never saw a Marshall all day.

Course Great but You Can't Teach Etiquette

I love that they are not gouging us with ridiculously high prices. The course is in much better shape than others in the area, nice an green.

But people need to take the time to learn a few etiquette things, nothing against the course, although perhaps a marshal would help. Rake the bunkers. Repair your pitch marks. Don't just drive into a parallel fairway to get to your wayward shot without checking that it's clear. Allow a 3-some to join your single (you're waiting anyway).

Ok, I'll stop my rant.

Great place!
