Bridges - The Masters at Firewheel Golf of Garland
Rating Snapshot
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.

I mean, meh....
I continue to play Firewheel and it's courses just because of proximity convenience and I can typically find a weekend AM tee time last minute. But every time I play it, I'm hoping it's a better experience. But I think you get what you pay for here. Pace of play always feels like a challenge and there are rarely marshals regulating this. I do wish the pro-shop would advise players to ensure ball marks are fixed on greens and bunkers are raked well after use. The bunkers are always in terrible conditions when I play here and I just think a subtle reminder at check-in to reinforce pace of play, course etiquette, etc. would go a long way. I believe if you tell players to treat the golf course well and remind them, most people will at a minimum make an effort. Pace of play should 100% be regulated as no one wants nor should be taking 5 hours to play an 18-hole round.
Good twilight value for a well set out track
Course great. No beverage cart though.
Everything was great, conditions pace of play. No beverage cart and only 2 water cans per nine. That’s my only complaint. They used to have a cooler of ice and water at the clubhouse but not this time. I did see a cart girl on The Lakes but not the Bridges.
Good value
We played champions and traditions, each 9 holes. Really like the Traditions
Hot and Heavy
First time playing on a last minute golf now deal. Cart included which is essential with these heat extremes atm.
Paired up with a nice guy called Les and it was a nice round. The 3 ball ahead of us were slow and also didn't seem to understand how to speed up their round by utilizing the cart to full effect. Really wish the carts would tell people they are behind on time like they do with being out of bounds.
That was really my only gripe but that seems standard for golf these days.
Only other one was that with the heat index over 107F the water jugs on the course were sometimes out of water.
At the turn I grabbed a gatorade and hot dog which was much needed. Server was very pleasant to chat to briefly.
Champions was tight but managed to score well enough given that I can't put on greens this fast.
Overall, really liked the course and layout.
Good for the value
I have played their before and have always had fun. The track is fun and not to challenging on a Sunday in June northward of 90 degrees in weather the pace of play was good. Until the 15th hole, now granted if you have never played firewheel it can be confusing. Because its 3 different courses put together to make 18. Cleaner direction on the course would definitely help the pace of play.
The greens had just been aerated so it was like putting on a beach
