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 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.

Course is really nice. Only complaint is that weekend golfers on a public course do not fix divots.

Great course

I booked on golfnow so my price was considerably less than typical, that made it seem much more enjoyable I'm sure. Nothing bad to say about my experience, I'd certainly recommend this course.

Good course for the money

Great course. Played traditions and masters 9. The masters 9 is much more challenging and requires ball placement and good hole management.

Greens are soft and rolled true.

Fairways and greens were in really good shape. Greens held all shots and left ball marks. Bunker sand was nice. Pace of play was above average - 4:20 to finish 18.

Bridges course

Always one of my favorite courses. Hadn't played it for years and was happy to see it is still a great value. Greens were in awesome condition. Tee boxes and overall conditions not up to the standard I would like but still a fun course.

A lot of sand and very hard fairways

There are blind shots that feed the ball to the water. With the fairways so hard, very little grass, you are hitting off of hard pan lies all day. The weather was perfect. The greens had just been reworked so they did not roll true and did not hold.

A Gem!

Previously unknown, but now discovered. While an extremely busy Saturday and a 1:30 tee time, once on the course, the pace was quite good. Beautiful tracks, lots of water, greens near perfect with both interesting and challenging holes. Will return and bring friends.
