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.

Great layout

I loved the course. Slow play could be an issue with no Marshall or starter, but it wasn't bad this Friday afternoon. The layout makes for some fun golf. 9 of the holes I played had recently been aerated, so greens could have been better, but the other 9 were great and a look at what they will all be soon. Overall thumbs up

The Bridges course not the lakes

The Bridges has 3 different 9 hole courses.Champions is always first the you can play either Masters or Traditions. Masters course runs through a neighborhood, Traditions is more wooded. Overall the sand traps are very soft, the Champions course greens are very fast fairways are full. Traditions greens are somewhat slower but very nice and fairways are full
You must play This course,great shape for February in Texas. After your round go eat in the restaurant fairly price and very good food for a golf course.

Well worth it

I have played all Fire wheel Park courses, and the Bridges is definitely the cream of the crop. The wind hampered the experience but overall was pleasantly surprised with the condition of the greens in late November. The staff was more than friendly which seams to be out of the ordinary today. Sometimes when you play discount golf they treat you as such. Can't wait to go back in the spring when the course should be in pristine condition.

Course

Golf Club has 3 courses so you can play a different 18 several times. Staff was excellent. Course was in great shape. Need to update the directions. Golf Now had directions to the Lakes/Old Firewheel courses not the Bridges.

Good Challenge for any golfer

Very pleased with course layout. Some holes requires to be very accurate off tee box. Green's roll very nice and true. Not impressed by driving range but served it's purpose of getting a few swings in before playing. Great practice green.

Fairway and greens where in great shape...some divots on green were not cleaned but that's the fault of the golfers and not the course!

Great course

My only issue was that the tee time wasn't in their system, so I had to wait 35 min for the next available time. Besides that, it was a great course and will definitely be going back.

A MUST PLAY!!!

This was my first time playing at Firewheel and it was a great experience. They have 3 different 9 hole courses that vary in style, and difficulty. The greens are probably the best in the Metroplex for a minucipal course. The staff is extremely friendly, and the food was just as good as eating at a restuarant. I played on a Saturday, expecting to take over 4 1.2 horus to play, and we finished the round in under 4 hours. Pace of play was AWESOME, and if you are rhythm golfer like me that bodes very well for your game. The greens rolled true and were receptive to shots from a 100 yards to 200 yards. If you want to have a fun day on the golf course, challenge yourself while still enjoying the day, you need to play these courses. There is water on about every other hole, and the marshalls are out on the course making sure the pace of play stays on track. If you get chance, get out there and play, you won't regret it!!!

Fantastic conditions

The only thing that I believe could improve this course is if they offered a walking option. There is very little distance from green to tee. Fun course and great layout.

Great course in excellent condition

This was my second time playing this course and just like last year, the course was in great conditions. The fairways and greens looked perfect. However, not sure if I had just caught them after a watering because the fairways were very soft and not fast. Also the rough was rough, but both made for an excellent challenge. My only issue this time around was that they did not have all 27 holes open. That caused a massive back up at the turn and therefore I did not finish my round. Still would highly recommend this course on golfnow deal.

Great Golf Weather

The weather was perfect with overcast and light wind not a normal day in July. The course was in great shape due to recent rains and we had a great time playing it. Play the course now because it is in great shape and the marshals make sure players maintain their pace of play.
