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.

The Traditions Course

The back 9 I play d the Traditions course. The fairways were in awful shape. Most of the fairways were dried out with no grass. As such, I was hitting off hard dirt.

The greens were in great shape and were super fast.

The Champions course was in pretty good shape, but way to many ball marks that weren’t repaired!

From Perfect to Meh in 5 Weeks

Played 6/23/22 and everything was absolutely perfect. Bent grass greens on Champions were smooth even as they got slightly slower due to the heat. Back nine Traditions was great. Only 5 weeks went by and the bent grass greens have gotten really bad and the Traditions fairways have majorly dried out and died out, even though the new greens are firm and pretty good. Crazy what 5 weeks of major heat has done to Bridges this year

No more Bent grass Greens!

Super disappointed that the bridges is doing away with their Bent Grass Greens. It was the only public course that had them and made it very unique. The greens will now be like every other course in DFW, hard as a rock and unforgiving.

Nice course and perfect greens!

This was a great course we’re the ball rolled true on the bent grass greens. Some hard pan on a couple of fairways on the back nine of the Traditions course. The front nine of the Champions course was challenging with great conditions, but the back nine was a little faster due to crews not watering holes in between groups. Overall, my only complaint is that the USB ports didn’t work in many of the carts and we had two carts die in us as well. Other than that, I’ll be back next week.

Masters course greens completely dead

The Champions course was in great shape with excellent bent grass greens. We played the Masters course for the second 9 and the greens have been chemically killed. The entire greens are dead, starting to crack open, and you might as well be putting on concrete. Very disappointing second 9 after a great front 9 experience. The Masters 9 should not be open to golfers.

Will play again!

Great layout. Has a bit of everything, and it's in great shape. I guess my only "knock" would be the mandatory doubling up on the carts. I get it, just wish you could solo if you wanted.

Challenging course.

Has a nice layout, and is fun, but definitely one of the more challenging courses for a beginner. First time playing, so not knowing the course hurt me, lot of blind hills. Carts were a little touchy, refused to move, but pulling the gas pedal up reset it.

Decent greens, slow play

Visiting from out of town, just booked this last minute, found decent greens and fairways. Three nines at the Bridges course have good layout and some elevation changes. Very slow play. No starter or rangers. Range is good. Hope to come back and play the other courses in the complex.
