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.

Firewheel Bridges, greens in great shape for winter

A very nice course, with great greens considering the cold weather. Pace of play is good, mostly play during the week. A good mix of holes requiring good shot placement and club selection.

Of the three courses at the Garland Firewheel complex, the Bridges is my favorite.

Nice layout with 3 separate 9's.

Played the Masters and Tradition 9's. The Masters is a nice layout. Unfortunately, the green were just aerated and were very sandy. That being said the course tee to green was in nice shape. The Tradition side was in nice shape. Green were perfect.

If you can play this course at the right price, I would definitely do it.

greens are in good condition. The ruff was a little heavy and I appreciated it.

Greens were in good condition but not as fast as expected. Fairways were in good condition. Enjoyed the layout.

Good could be great

The greens are awesome but be sure you check for ball marks before you putt. It seems there are golfers who visit that need a lesson in ball mark repair and raking sand traps. Foot prints from animals and people all through the traps. It's a good course that could be great with a little attention. Just a couple passes by someone thruought the day to check traps and greens. Also we ran into a slow 5 some which can be annoying.

Bridges Course great from tee to green

Played on Saturday, tee off time was 9:00. Slow pace, but beautiful course with challenging sand traps, undulating greens, blanketed with bent grass more than made up for the pace. Tee Boxes, fairways, traps and greens in great condition. GPS was wonderful!

Great bent grass greens

Couse was in good shape, rough was a little high which made hitting the fairway a plus. Cart girl came around often. I was a single and got to play with a guy who had played 274 rounds this year.

The green was maintained well.

I haven't played at this course for 2 years.
Apparently, the course was redesigned. The green was changed to the left instead of right side of Hole 9 of the Tradition as I can remember. The green was nicely maintained especially in the hot summer day in Dallas.

Great course for the value.

We were impressed by the condition of the course, the golf carts with video displays/GPS, and the overall condition of the course/clubhouse. Great value.

Beautiful layout. Very difficult if you don't hit the fairway off the tee.

It was my first time at Firewheel (Bridges) course which is odd because I live less than 7 miles from it. It was a very hot (100 plus) day so course was relatively empty except for a few hardcore golfers. I truly loved the layout here. The holes had both right to left and left to right set up's so it can accommodate both a draw or fade off the tee. Greens were fantastic but not too difficult. The bunkers were fluffy white sand like you would find in Florida.
The rates here without Golfnow are pricey but the discount I received makes this place one of my top courses in the DFW area. I highly recommend this course!

Decent shape for a public course.

Greens were cut a little long, so the ball did not roll true.

Very good course

We had a early morning tee time. There were very few people out there, which made the pace excellent. The course was in fairly good shape. The ground crews were repairing the greens and working on the sand traps. This left a bunch of debris on the greens. All that being said, we really enjoyed the course and will be be back.

Bridges - Champion to Bridges - Masters

I golfed there on Friday 6/7/13. Greens were in amazing shape. Best greens I've putted on in a long time and I play once a week. Fairways were in great shape too. It was well worth paying more to play the Bridges courses. I've played the Old course and the Lakes course a dozen times each and the Bridges course blows them away.
