Slope 130
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.

Amazing

All I can say is that I will be booking every tee time I can with Golfnow because of the experience I had. I ended up going with my older brother and we had a tight game throughout the whole course. It was fun with a little bit of challenge thrown in. Thank you for the opportunity to play there because with out you, I wouldn't have heard of that place. Best part, it was only a 20 minute drive.

great track

I played the "traditions" course and will definitely be back to play the other two. Course is in great shape and is fair, as in rewarding a good shot and not a bad one.

Great Value

This is one of the best bang for your buck courses I've ever played. It was very well maintained considering it was under water a couple of weeks ago. The flooding washed most of the sand away from the bunkers and they had already refilled them with the nice white sand. The greens were in great shape and fairly soft for this area. The fairways and tee boxes were nice. I enjoyed the layout and would definitely play it again.

Worth playing anytime of the day!!

The greens bite well and the greens roll true. The first layer of rough is thick so keep a close eye on your ball it really disappears. Will play this course again very soon!!!

Dallas golf

We were originally scheduled to play the Bridges course but due to flooding we moved to the Old course. Pro shop guys were very friendly, organized and were doing a good job. We asked to go out early and they had no issue with that and sent us out about 20 minutes early. I found the course to be just ok. Short , really big fairways and wide open. A few houses on some of holes but it's basically hit away and iron to most greens. # 3,9,13and 16 are the highlights of the course .Greens were in good shape although very dry and crusty. I was disappointed with not being able to play The Bridges so I will be back to play it. The old course is a good warmup to that side.

Tee to green the course was in fantastic shape. The greens roll very true, however they are a bit slow. Overall I had a great experience and will definitely be back to play again soon.

One of the best City courses

Grabbed a last-minute Hot Deal to play that afternoon, paired up with another single, played Tradition and Masters. Course was in great shape tee-to-green, even the bunkers, particularly good with all the rain recently. A few greens were a bit shaggy and slow, but overall a great round.

Great track - tough but precise.

Champions to Masters makes for a great 18. The course is so well marked and the GPS makes it even more accurate when sizing up a shot. And you will need it to stay in play!

Stellar practice range. Good food.

No walking policy

I did not play my round as I was informed the Bridges course has a no walking policy. How can you have a golf course with a no walking policy? Makes no sense to me.

Very enjoyable

Played first 9 on Champions and second 9 on Traditions.
Champion greens were recently punched/sanded so approach shots and putts were sketchy, but should be in great shape by end of April if we get as much rain as we're expecting. Fairways and bunkers were in great condition.
Traditions greens were in excellent condition since they were punched sooner. Fairways and bunkers in great condition, too.
Staff was very friendly, as always. Wasn't very crowded at all, probably since it was Masters Saturday afternoon, so pace of play was steady. Never had to wait and had time to hit extra shots or putts without slowing anyone else down.
All around fun track every time, regardless of which two 9s I play.

Great layout

I loved the course. Slow play could be an issue with no Marshall or starter, but it wasn't bad this Friday afternoon. The layout makes for some fun golf. 9 of the holes I played had recently been aerated, so greens could have been better, but the other 9 were great and a look at what they will all be soon. Overall thumbs up

The Bridges course not the lakes

The Bridges has 3 different 9 hole courses.Champions is always first the you can play either Masters or Traditions. Masters course runs through a neighborhood, Traditions is more wooded. Overall the sand traps are very soft, the Champions course greens are very fast fairways are full. Traditions greens are somewhat slower but very nice and fairways are full
You must play This course,great shape for February in Texas. After your round go eat in the restaurant fairly price and very good food for a golf course.

Well worth it

I have played all Fire wheel Park courses, and the Bridges is definitely the cream of the crop. The wind hampered the experience but overall was pleasantly surprised with the condition of the greens in late November. The staff was more than friendly which seams to be out of the ordinary today. Sometimes when you play discount golf they treat you as such. Can't wait to go back in the spring when the course should be in pristine condition.

Course

Golf Club has 3 courses so you can play a different 18 several times. Staff was excellent. Course was in great shape. Need to update the directions. Golf Now had directions to the Lakes/Old Firewheel courses not the Bridges.
