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.

First Time Playing

The course was challenging & fun to play. the pace of play was slow. There was no cart girls on front or back nine!! That was extremely disappointing. The pro shop did not inform us. Be sure to ask before starting your round.

Great local course

My favorite of the Firewheel courses, there are 3 9 hole courses, so you get a different 18 each time (The Master is my favorite). Layout is interesting, not a ton of carries, but plenty of dog-legs and risk-reward shots. Rough it pretty thick, but the fairway is nice. Staff is always great and the practice facilities are top notch.

Nice course

First time to play here. Really hot day and that kept some inside. Greens need some attention. Too many muni players don't respect the course enough to repair ball marks. Too bad. Overall a fairly easy course for beginners to intermediate players. Good value for the money. I will play it again.

This course offers everything a major country club offer.

This course is ALWAYS in great conditions. One of few daily fee courses that offers bent grass greens. The food is good. Its a must play for all avid golfers.

Very nice

Very nice course. There are a couple of tight fairways but other than that the greens are in great shape as well as the fairways.

We finished around 8 and the bar was closed so we couldn't have an after round drink on the patio like we have been at other locations. Other than that, great course.

Firewheel June 11,2017

Found the course in great shape. Greens well tended but hard to read. Fairways filled in and easy to hit from. Best I have seen in years.

Had 11 tee time and got off right on time. Pace of play a bit slow (4 hours 15 minutes) but I think the wind (15-20 gusts ) had something to do with that.

Well worth the 35 minute drive from Flower Mound. Will go back.

Great Conditioning

Bent grass greens were in great shape. The fairways were also in great shape. The course was running firm and fast. Although a challenging course, I felt the playing corridors provided enough room to hit driver often. Played 18 holes in 2:55 minutes. In summary, one of the better courses in the DFW area when you consider course playability and conditions.

What Wind?!

In spite of 35 mile an hour gusts, this course was worth the effort and the money. Greens were great!

Fairways had very few tight lies. The only real complaint is that the fabric liner of the bunkers was barely covered with sand in some of the bunkers. Ask me how I know. The tee boxes were in really good shape. On Champions, #7 par 3, king is wet, and so is right. The Master's 9 was in equally as good condition. Get out to Firewheel before it gets hot!

Great conditions

Perfect bentgrass greens, good green surrounds, tight but good fairways. The Masters 9 is a little quirky but still a challenge. Very windy made it nearly impossible to hold a ball on the greens downwind. Great course, especially if you get it for $25 like I did. Very much a parkland course as you play through the trees and around the creeks and wetlands. Easy access from PGBT helps the appeal, but also helps make it crowded at times.

The Bridges at Firewheel

This Course has 3 sets of 9 holes: Masters, Champion and Tradition. This review is for Champion and Tradition. The Champion course is fairly straight forward with its placement of bunkers and water hazards. The greens and fairways are currently in great shape. The Tradition has houses on almost every hole. For the most part they are back far enough that it should not make a difference. Placement of shots is key on this 9. Number 7 has a blind second shot as well as number 9 having and elevated green over water. Again the greens and fairways are in great shape. Will play here again.

The Bridges

This course is in great shape. The GREENS ARE EXCELLENT.

With so many DFW golf courses with terrible greens that should be shut down, it was great to play a real golf course.

Will definitely return.
