Bridges - The Tradition at Firewheel Golf of Garland

My son and I played on a Sunday and really didn't expect much other than a full parking lot, rushed staff and slow play. I could have been more wrong!! Though the parking lot was full the staff were very friendly and welcoming, eager to help the two of us on our first visit to the Bridges course. The routing was amazing, far better than other courses we've played in Garland and we're eager to return and play the full 27, hopefully when it's a bit cooler. Pace of play was perfect, we never had to wait on a tee or feel rushed by the group behind us. Firewheel Golf Park has the best value for your money

We played 2 nine hole courses and the 2nd nine holes were a bit different being back in a more wooded area. The greens seems to need a little work on the masters nine hole course but over 4/5 stars. Very fun to play with some good views!

Tee boxes and fairways were in okay shape. Course was not too hard and there weren’t many holes that make you really think too hard at all.

The greens were awful, however. This is one of the only places in Dallas where they attempt to upkeep bent grass greens and that’s a bad decision on a muni course budget. They’re extremely slow, nobody repairs their pitch marks, and some of the greens are not doing so well in the heat of Dallas. Spike marks toss your ball way offline, if you don’t hit one of the numerous pitch marks to send it even further offline. Played a few days ago at pecan hollow, greens were quick and true. JUST USE BERMUDA AND DONT BE GIMMICKY. Bent grass is a terrible idea in Dallas so I’m not sure why they even tried.

Pace of play was poor. Starter did a good job but nobody in my group played quickly, and neither did the group in front.

If you need to play at firewheel, play at the lakes course. But otherwise play at pecan hollow for the same price if not cheaper for a much better experience.

Been to this course 3 times now on the golf now HOT DEALS...... every time I go to this course there sending me out as a single when the Hot deal is clearly a foursome, don’t know what’s going on in the shop , the sole purpose of golf now is to be able to play with all skill levels & walks of life. Never should a customer dictate who there going to play with especially with golf now. The bridges staff needs to do better

Overall course was fine, lots of excess grass from mowers on tee boxes and fairways. I’m not sure if there is that many new golfers out there or if the greens keeper needs to be fired but the greens were a nightmare. I have never in my life seen so many ballmarks and divots on a green before but it’s clear no one if fixing theirs. My foursome tried to each fix 5 every green but it was still trash. Fairways were fine and beer was cold

The course is in good shape the greens are a little slow but over all it’s in good shape. They still have strict COVID-19 but that’s to be expected. My phone only gripe is directed at the players and NOT the staff. People please please please repair your ball marks. It’s part of being a responsible player fix those marks that your ball makes.

Over the yrs, played here a lot. Fairways are plush, greens in great condition but a little hairy. Bent greens in Texas is a crap shoot to say the least, but these are in great shape, just slow.

The layout is great, love playing here

This Golf Course was in wonderful condition!! The greens were a bit slow but that’s the way I like them!! Great staff it would have been nice to have a beverage cart but due to COVID that didn’t happen. It was a great experience and we will be returning in the future for sure

Greens are like nice fairways at all the tpc courses I’ve played in my life time. In order for you to get any put form more than 15 ft to the hole you had to hit the putt extremely hard. Which causes one to go off target most of the time. . Was super bumpy as well. My advice would be to cut them down and roll them so people will enjoy hitting the green. Didn’t enjoy the round at all.

So we played the Championship and Masters today. The course condition was great. Really enjoyed the condition of the greens. Haven't been out here lately but like playing here. The price can be a bit high at times, but I guess they get enough play to warrant the fees. Is there anything that I would change? Well, not being able to get a cart until 15 min prior to teeing off was a little inconvenient. Wonder if they would also have any way to allow playing the third nine for an extra fee. Think having a 27 hole outing would be pretty great. Otherwise a very pleasant experience..
