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.

Pure "Emerald" Pleasure

Every year I like to play a new course in DFW. I am simply a muni player and have heard of the Firewheel Golf Park for many, many years. Finally had the chance to play and did not regret it one bit. We played the Bridges course on the Champions and Masters Nines (they have 27 holes). An older man working the parking lot gave us some tips for getting around. The course was in great condition. Emerald green everywhere from the lush tree-lined fairways and well-groomed greens. Found the elevated greens and deep bunkers challenging, yet enjoyable.

Afterwards we had our thirsts quenched and hunger sated with friendly and even funny staff.

A Great First Round at The Bridges Course

This was my first round at The Bridges, and overall it was one of the better municipal golf experiences I’ve had in the DFW area. The facilities were excellent, including the driving range, short game area, and practice putting greens, all of which were in great shape. The tee boxes and fairways were also very well maintained.

The greens rolled extremely well and were some of the better greens I’ve played on recently. The fairways provided a good challenge and made the course both fun and rewarding to play. I was also pleasantly surprised by how scenic the course was, especially with the creek running alongside portions of the Masters course.

Our round was a combination of the Champions and Masters courses, with Champions playing as the front nine and Masters as the back nine. The course conditions, layout, and overall experience made it feel well worth the price.

The only minor downside was the pace of play, which was a little slow at around five hours for the round. Outside of that, it was a fantastic experience.

This used to be a gem

Mgmt. has become way to complacent when it comes proper upkeep. Tee boxes - both white and blue - were deplorable: littered with broken tees and little to no sod. Many green fronts are nothing but mush because of water leaks of over a year. Last, sand traps should be labeled 'ground under repair' - horribly maintained and rakes nowhere to be found.

Nice course in good shape

I played the Champions and Masters nines, and both were tough but fair. The courses are not super long, but the layout makes it hard to just blast away. I played with 3 others in slightly over 4 hours, and we didn't have to wait except on a few holes.
