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.

Course always looks great

Really good layout with bent grass putting surfaces. I think this is one of the better public golf courses in the area.

Great shape

The greens are in great shape a week after the major storms. Some of the rough needs to be cut but that isn’t a major concern.

A pleasant day

The greens are in good condition. The cart had GPS which was very helpful for someone who has never played the course.

Not that great greens and fairways right now.

Firewheel Bridges usually have immaculate greens and fairways but I guess they are in a process of repairing everything. The greens have weeds and the fairways aren’t that lush. The winter could have something to do with that. Hopefully everything will be better in late spring or summer.

Not worth the money

Course is under renovation making the course conditions aweful. Should be a crime to pay $54 to golf on that course in its current state. Let alone the greens are the worst !!!! You can find way nicer courses for a cheaper rate. I might try it again in a year.

Poor

No starter. Several groups of five players all claiming to have the 12:14 tee time. Took forever to ge through the round. Not enjoyable. Course conditions were mediocre. They had just aerated greens and failed to mention so at the pro shop.

Great winter golf

Greens on Champion 9 were perfect, Tradition 9 were slower an bumpy. winter conditions with a touch of recent rains and runoff areas. Good layouts both nines, def need to work the ball on Traditions 9. Pace was 3:40 for our foursome at 11am. Joined by 3 other gentlemen, we had a great time. Good price on GolfNow. Staff gave me a free set of range balls - kudos for the customer service

Course as good as expected.

This course came highly recommended and didn’t disappoint. It was in good shape for the end of November. The layout and unique holes were fun to navigate, especially the Masters course. If it wasn’t for a frost delay that backed everything up, it would have been perfect!

Really enjoy your course. Excellent fairways and greens. Wish you could provide a refreshment cart. Really hot and no cart refreshments 4 th round at this location. Has it all but REALLY needs a marshall to control speed of play and a refreshment cart..

Loved the course, open and well laid out. All the hosts were very nice and helpful.

Problems; We played (3) behind 4 women who thought they were on the LPGA tour. SLOW, never offers to allow us to play through. We hit and sat after EVERY shot, all 18 holes! There was NO marshall, nor was there ever a cart person to provide an opportunity for refreshments! No bad, really enjoyed the course but the 60 minutes behind pace dampened the fun
