About

Holes 9
Type Public/Municipal
Par 35
Length 3202 yards
Slope 130
Rating 35.5

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.

Good courses in good shape

The firewheel staff have this course in good shape especially after the February freeze. The traditions course is closed while they replace the greens but the other two courses are open for play (champions and masters). For me it’s a little bit of a drive but I would recommend it as one of the best public courses in the area

Rock hard fairways

Really challenging and nicely layed out course. Greens are in really good shape. However the fairways were tight and hard as concrete. I wouldn't play here again until summer and hope the fairways come back to life.

Used to be Better

This course used to be in our rotation but we will have to take it out now. The greens on the championship nine are really rough and all the fairways and tee boxes are super dry and hard. The bunkers are in good shape but that is about it. The Masters 9 greens were about average. Really need to water more.

Weather dominated

The wind blew 25 mph and gusted to 30 mph, so the round was more challenging. Some of the greens need attention, perhaps aeration.

Good course

The greens were a little in bad shape in some holes, but in general it is a good course.

It’s near that you can select the course since it has 3 nine holes courses actually.
