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.

Course conditions not what I expected

Champion and Tradition: Most greens had multiple bare spots and lots of unrepaired ball marks. I've never seen the greens at Firewheel in this condition.

Good challenge and his conditions

First time here and it's set up pretty well and unique choosing the back 9 of one or the other. Only complaint was the aerating and heavy sand in every green today. With damp conditions, putting was very difficult and sticky. Aside from that, I loved the course challenge, conditions overall, and the well kept fairways. Greens are in good condition except this week due to maintenance.

Conditions

Fairways are in good shape. Greens are very soft and pitted from divot marks. People not fixing divots is part of the problems but overwatering may be part of it as well. Some bunkers filled with weeds and not maintained . Champions course in much better shape than Traditions .

Still worth the money

Wet weather

The course is just fine

Golfnow was my only problem - it was raining all over the area - at 73 years old I decided not to play because rain predictions were 65% and the temperature was in the 60s - not ideal or even good conditions - because the course did not close Golfnow decided to keep my money. Better be 100% sure you are going to play no matter what are these guys are going to rob you.

Worst Greens I've ever played on

These greens were atrocious. The course was in bad shape all together but these greens looked like tiny land mines had gone off on them.

Don't bring a putter - can't even play the greens

The fairways are hard, the bunkers are hard and the greens are truly some of the worst I've seen. They look nice but the ball leaves a massive divot, the people that play here don't fix their divots and you don't even want to putt here. Extremely inconsistent, bumpy, slow, etc.

Also...1/5 holes you're NOT ALLOWED to even hit at the green!! They put a flag in the fairway and call it a hole. RIDICULOUS. There should really be a warning for this. Save your money and either go elsewhere or go to the range. Really displeased.
