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

Very different 9's
Traditions 9 was a bit rough but still playable. Bunkers haven't been touched in quite some time. Greens putted well but are a bit scarred from being bent grass in the summer so they keep them wet. Champions 9 is in great condition. Greens rolled well. Friendly staff and always fun to play here.
Bridges course
The fairways, bunkers and tee box are in good shape. Some native Texas grass has invaded some of the greens, but nothing that will ruin your round. Of the three Firewheel courses, the Lakes Course is in the best shape.
Firewheel
Played at the Bridges, where they have 3 nine hole courses. Played the Championship and Masters. Most of the driving holes are tight. Played from the blue tees 6600 yards. Greens are in good shape.
Beautiful & Fun Course
Course was in great condition and some good changeling holes. Loved the back nine of the champions course.
Bent Grass for a great value
Great value for Bent grass greens That are in really good shape especially for a public golf course.
Directions on Map Are Wrong
For everyone attempting to use the GolfNow map, be aware that the address takes you the opposite direction down Campbell. The entrance for the course in on Brand road.
Overall the course was nice. We ended our game short due to our cart battery dying. Course was fun and added a nice challenge.
Not happy
Greens were generally slow, fairways thin and hard...needs water, bunkers we're ok 50% of the course
Great place to play
Course was in excellent condition. Greens were great. Excellent place to play for the money. Would recommend this this place to anyone.
Challenging but Fair
This course is fair & fun to play. We played from the blue tees. It’s not hard, if you keep the ball in play. It’s fairly wide, so that is not a big problem. I thought the greens were in very good shape. They are fast and I think they break more than anticipated. We played at 1022 on a Friday and finished under 4 hours. I will come back, especially with special internet rates.
Gotta play this one
Greens and fairways in great shape. Pace of play great. This is a jewel and for under 20 bucks .a steal
Great value for a well conditioned course
After a delay in getting out (single player),paired with another single. Enjoyed the round and conditions. Long front 9 w/ 5 some slowing everyone. Passed them on turn (had to ask them) then played in under 2 hours on back. Great condition, greens were fantastic.
Great layout with plenty of scenery
My wife and I played here on a weekday afternoon on the way to Austin. Greens were in great shape and the course is laid out in a very interesting way around the river/creek that runs through it. We did have to wait 15-20 mins on several holes towards the end due to a bunch of adults and children playing some kind of tournament. They eventually let us thru. I think we played the Masters and Champion course. We did find it hard to make the transition from one course to the next. Maybe some signs? However, we really enjoyed it. My wife loved the place, which is rare. We will be back next time we pass though.
Great outing
The course was in great shape, very challenging but if you put it in the correct spots you can scores well. Greens in great shape, highly recommend this course.
