Bridges - The Masters at Firewheel Golf of Garland
About
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.

Duffer's Delight
Have always enjoyed playing The Bridges at Firewheel. My favorite is the Champions and the Masters. My opinon is that the Par 3, second hole on the Masters course is the most dangerous for the duffer. Long is really bad. Short right is impossible.
So, the miss is short left. The courses are always in good condition from tee box to green. In the summer months, beware of the rough, even just off the fairway.....brutal.
Very Professional
Wonderful course elegant and the staff was great including the cart girl with beverages. I would rather not be paired up though as I had my son with me and we like to play on our own , be aware you may have to do a foursome. I'd rather have a choice.
Good times
So 5 stars across the board is pretty generic I know, But the weather was nice and the coarse was playing pretty good. Customer service was exelent it's not to often you have someone bring you a cart as soon as you pull up in the back of the lot he was the oldest Ninja I have ever met.
Firewheel Bridges
Considering winter just ended the course was in good shape. The greens were really good and rolled true. I will definitely be coming back to play.
Firewheel Bridges Greens in Good Shape
Played Champion and Masters nines at Firewheel Bridges on Valentine's Day. Aside from one green that is in process of growing in after being rebuilt, the greens were in excellent shape, perhaps the best I have ever seen them. It was a windy day, and the greens were very quick, but true. Most grass on the course is dormant, but we still had good lies in the fairway. and challenging lies (fluffy, not bare) in the rough.
Nice course
Played on a Saturday it was pretty cold that could of affected the pace of play. I play here once a month.
I liked the course but HATED the the carts!!
We played the "Bridges" course (which, IMHO, is the only worthwhile choice at Firewheel). The course was nice, but I thought it was odd that it is actually a 27-hole course comprised of three separate 9-hole courses ( named "Masters", "Champions", and "Traditions") that are configured (depending on which day you go) into an 18-hole round. The Champion - Masters' par is 72, The Masters - Tradition is 71, and par for the Tradition - Champion is 71. I honestly cant remember which configuration we played, I just found it odd that hole #10 starts over as hole #1 (no matter which one you play). My only real complaint was the "smart carts" they use. They have GPS units that control where the carts can drive...get too close to the green and the GPS unit kills the power to the cart to like a 10% crawl...SO aggravating!! If I want to jump the cart off the tee box, I should have the freedom to do so (kidding, of course). Seriously, though....it was a bit ridiculous to have your cart DIE because you deviated from the cart path to retrieve your slice.
Overall I feel I got my money's worth,and if you live close to Garland I would definitely give it a try...but I wouldn't drive too far out of my way to play there again. I personally think there are better choices in DFW.
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 some challenging holes from the back tees.
Had a great time with the other singles I was paired up with. Pace of play was excellent with well maintained greens.
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.
This course is in great condition
The greans are in great shape and rolled true! Pin placement was on some tough slopes but enjoyed the challeng... Over all the course was in great shape!!!
Best Greens for public access
Very good conditions and fairways are nicely cut. Get there now and play while fall weather make this course a treat to skip work
good layout
This course is challanging for all levels, it is well maintained and the cost is reasonable, it is a fun course.
The greens were very good.
The course was well maintained and in good condtion, especially for this time of the year. The greens were very good. The pace of play was excellent.
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.
Good course
good course, good condition. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
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.
