Bridges - The Tradition at Firewheel Golf of Garland

Great staff and amenities. Course was in great shape; still green and well maintained. Greens were fast. I enjoyed my round.

The course is in great condition with plenty of grass on the tees, fairways & greens although the tees are very hard (you're likely to snap a few tees). A couple of holes are close together with balls often crossing over to the wrong fairway as golfers try & steer clear of the many water hazards. Sand in the bunkers is heavy so you need to swing hard to get the ball out if you're taking some sand as well. Some holes could do with the trees lining the fairway being trimmed back as there's not much space to play your shot to the fairway. The last hole on the Tradition Course requires a lot of thought as placement of shots is critical to give you the next shot. Most golfers will take 3 shots to get to the green & there's plenty of water to naviagte around & over. Pace of play was great the second nine as we had the option of either the Masters or Tradition courses to play which helped as the group in front were painfully slow the first nine holes.

really enjoyed the course conditions. Greens were rolling really nice

Slower than it had to be. Twosome, foursomes, twosome, foursome…strange. Slowed play a little. But overall the course was in great shape. Great price point. And friendly staff.

No cart person on a Sunday morning is disappointing.

Course is in great condition. Greens are smooth and quick, don’t over read the break. Pace of play was great. 18 holes 3 players 3 hours.

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.

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.

We played champions and traditions, each 9 holes. Really like the Traditions

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.
