Bridges - The Tradition at Firewheel Golf of Garland

Course is in really good condition. Greens are soft and rolling true. Tee boxes and fairways have plenty of grass except for #17.

Firewheel Bridges has 3 9-hole layouts.

We were required to play the Champions and Bridges courses, which seem to be the standard options most of the time.

The Champions is the better course, but both are built in a creek bed area that requires most of the greens to be severely elevated with steep sides, to protect them when the creek floods. Hitting and holding the greens pretty well determines whether you break 90 since missing a green by less than 2 feet can cause your ball to run down the very steep hill, sometimes into a hazard, but on all occasions leaving you a blind, 20-yard, uphill lie for your chip shot.

As an amateur, I hit about 50% of greens on a good day and, like about 90% of 10-15 handicap golfers, I rely on chipping to when I miss a green to keep me close to my handicap and stay with the lower handicap players in my group.

The severely sloped greens significantly lowered my enjoyment of playing these courses. You may want to consider this feature before you play here.

Great condition, super friendly staff. Can’t beat the value for the money

Course is in excellent condition right now. Pace of play on the front nine was really slow. Back nine on the Traditions was much better pace.

Played Champions/Traditions. The Bridges is one of the best public courses in the metroplex. The course is in great shape. Some of the bunkers need attention, but they are still better than most. A fun, challenging course and a great layout!

Course is in great shape! Greens (Bent grass) are handling the heat well. They are watering the greens during the round. Pace of play was great, we played in 4 hrs on a Sunday with a 11:40 tee time!

By far the best course of the 3 Firewheel courses. Fairways and greens were very good this 2nd week of June. Pace of play was exactly 4:15 on Sunday morning. I really like this course.

I really enjoyed my round here. The course was in great shape and pace of play was good. The staff was extremely friendly.

Played the Champion/Masters nines. Champion is fun and straightforward, Masters is a bit more quirky. Both had great Bentgrass greens, solid fairways, and putrid bunkers. Lots of carpet showing in most bunkers. A good mix of wide open holes and strategic, tight ones. Pace was pretty good on a Sunday mid-day round. Lots of water stations on the course and we saw the cart girl 4 times. This course is enjoyable when pace is good and greens are in decent shape (it was). There was one cart bridge that had a board missing and course may want to check out.

All in all a nice round of golf on a good course. Played with two gentlemen that had some game so we played the back tees. Nice to hit driver on almost every hole.

Played this several times and it has always been in great shape. This time the bunkers were terrible though.

You can never go wrong at any if the 3 Bridges courses. Greens and bunkers are always in goid shape. All 3 courses are challenging layouts.

Beat value and experience in Dallas area.

The course was in great shape.

Pace of play was okay for a Saturday. 4-1/2 hours.

I've played the Bridges before but they have obviously embraced their brand. Richard Cosbie in the golf shop is a living legend who guided me through the whole experience. If you want a rare opportunity to play top notch bent grass greens within a story book bedroom community then The Bridges is your destination. I'll be looking for my next opportunity on GolfNow.

Course was in great condition. Brother visiting from out of town really enjoyed the round!
