Bridges - The Tradition at Firewheel Golf of Garland
About
The Bridges at Firewheel Golf Park is a 27-hole layout that has been a regular host of U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur qualifying tournaments. The course is comprised of three nines that can be played in different 18-hole combinations. The Tradition nine is the shortest of the three at just over 3,200 yards from the back tees. What it lacks in length, it makes up for with the rolling terrain. Golfers will face tricky uneven lies in addition to strategically placed bunkers and towering oak and pecan trees. There are also two creeks that crisscross through the entire golf course. They come into play on several holes. Not only does the Bridges provide three 18-hole courses, there is also Firewheel's original 18-hole Old Course, which was followed soon after by the 18-hole Lakes Course.

A good course with a few changes.
The bridges course at Firewheel is by far the best of the three in the complex. I played the Masters and Traditions nines yesterday and for the most part the course was in good shape. the greens rolled true and the fairways were in fantastic shape. I have played other courses in the Plano area that could learn a great deal from the grounds crew at firewheel. There were fewer people than I expected but that could have been due to the hot temps along with many people being out at the Byron Nelson.
There have been a few changes but nothing major. Two trees on the 7th hole on the masters course either fell down or were cut down. that changed how you play that par 5 but not a big deal. The addition of the MASSIVE power lines that cut the 8th hole on the traditions course down do a gap wedge shot is a little disappointing but I doubt that the course had any say in where the power lines were going. As always the practice facilities were in great shape and the staff has always been friendly. Its a great course and I would recommend it to anyone.
Great Muni Course
Firewheel bridges course is one of the nicest municipal courses around Dallas. The three nines are very different, and each provides its own unique layout. The greens are bent however they’re transitioning to Bermuda. Overall it is well worth the price paid on GolfNow!
Course In great condition
Beautiful course in garland. I like all 3 of the 9’s. Masters is the best IMO. Pace of play is great. Only down side is we didn’t see a cart person with beverages/snacks at all. Come prepared as it gets into higher temperatures.
Decent but a bit pricy for the course and conditions
Not a bad course and entertaining layout. Greens and bunkers in good conditions. Not impressive at all and a bit pricy in my opinion
Surprisingly the green were in great shape for bend grass. . Roll smooth and fast.
I will put this course back in rotation.
Course was in good condition, and I love the Staff and Leadership team in the Pro Shop.. one of the Best in all of Dallas!
Love to see them, they remember your name, always friendly, quick payments.. the Best..
Good challenge
Overall a good course, great staff, driving range was open pre-dawn. Greens.we’re in great shape.
