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.

Good shape overall

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.

Great place to play.

Great experience

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.

Please Don't Punch Me

You'll like this course. I prefer playing the Champions and the Masters. Right now, the fairways are running fast. Bunkers are well maintained. The greens have been punched recently, but are still pretty hard and don't receive a good approach very well. So, so plan on an extra amount of roll out. This course is not too tight or too long for us duffers. Lots of fun.

Nice day

Course was in good shape but greens had been recently punched so they were bumpy and slow. Otherwise great day.

Always in good shape

Great layout, fun, challenging and a good deal with GolfNow. The greens were aerated a few days before we played, but they still rolled very well.

Windy and cold but enjoyed

It was cold and very windy when we played. We almost second guessed our decision to play but glad we didn’t back out. The course has a very nice layout and is in very good condition. The greens rolled true. It will challenge all skill levels. I will definitely play this course again. I can see if becoming one of my favorite courses to play.
