Holes 9
Type Public/Municipal
Par 35
Length 3202 yards
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.

A lot of sand and very hard fairways

There are blind shots that feed the ball to the water. With the fairways so hard, very little grass, you are hitting off of hard pan lies all day. The weather was perfect. The greens had just been reworked so they did not roll true and did not hold.

A Gem!

Previously unknown, but now discovered. While an extremely busy Saturday and a 1:30 tee time, once on the course, the pace was quite good. Beautiful tracks, lots of water, greens near perfect with both interesting and challenging holes. Will return and bring friends.

Duffer's Delight

Have always enjoyed playing The Bridges at Firewheel. My favorite is the Champions and the Masters. My opinon is that the Par 3, second hole on the Masters course is the most dangerous for the duffer. Long is really bad. Short right is impossible.
So, the miss is short left. The courses are always in good condition from tee box to green. In the summer months, beware of the rough, even just off the fairway.....brutal.

Very Professional

Wonderful course elegant and the staff was great including the cart girl with beverages. I would rather not be paired up though as I had my son with me and we like to play on our own , be aware you may have to do a foursome. I'd rather have a choice.

Good times

So 5 stars across the board is pretty generic I know, But the weather was nice and the coarse was playing pretty good. Customer service was exelent it's not to often you have someone bring you a cart as soon as you pull up in the back of the lot he was the oldest Ninja I have ever met.

Firewheel Bridges

Considering winter just ended the course was in good shape. The greens were really good and rolled true. I will definitely be coming back to play.

Firewheel Bridges Greens in Good Shape

Played Champion and Masters nines at Firewheel Bridges on Valentine's Day. Aside from one green that is in process of growing in after being rebuilt, the greens were in excellent shape, perhaps the best I have ever seen them. It was a windy day, and the greens were very quick, but true. Most grass on the course is dormant, but we still had good lies in the fairway. and challenging lies (fluffy, not bare) in the rough.

I liked the course but HATED the the carts!!

We played the "Bridges" course (which, IMHO, is the only worthwhile choice at Firewheel). The course was nice, but I thought it was odd that it is actually a 27-hole course comprised of three separate 9-hole courses ( named "Masters", "Champions", and "Traditions") that are configured (depending on which day you go) into an 18-hole round. The Champion - Masters' par is 72, The Masters - Tradition is 71, and par for the Tradition - Champion is 71. I honestly cant remember which configuration we played, I just found it odd that hole #10 starts over as hole #1 (no matter which one you play). My only real complaint was the "smart carts" they use. They have GPS units that control where the carts can drive...get too close to the green and the GPS unit kills the power to the cart to like a 10% crawl...SO aggravating!! If I want to jump the cart off the tee box, I should have the freedom to do so (kidding, of course). Seriously, though....it was a bit ridiculous to have your cart DIE because you deviated from the cart path to retrieve your slice.

Overall I feel I got my money's worth,and if you live close to Garland I would definitely give it a try...but I wouldn't drive too far out of my way to play there again. I personally think there are better choices in DFW.

Firewheel Bridges, greens in great shape for winter

A very nice course, with great greens considering the cold weather. Pace of play is good, mostly play during the week. A good mix of holes requiring good shot placement and club selection.

Of the three courses at the Garland Firewheel complex, the Bridges is my favorite.

Nice layout with 3 separate 9's.

Played the Masters and Tradition 9's. The Masters is a nice layout. Unfortunately, the green were just aerated and were very sandy. That being said the course tee to green was in nice shape. The Tradition side was in nice shape. Green were perfect.

If you can play this course at the right price, I would definitely do it.

greens are in good condition. The ruff was a little heavy and I appreciated it.

Greens were in good condition but not as fast as expected. Fairways were in good condition. Enjoyed the layout.

Good could be great

The greens are awesome but be sure you check for ball marks before you putt. It seems there are golfers who visit that need a lesson in ball mark repair and raking sand traps. Foot prints from animals and people all through the traps. It's a good course that could be great with a little attention. Just a couple passes by someone thruought the day to check traps and greens. Also we ran into a slow 5 some which can be annoying.

Bridges Course great from tee to green

Played on Saturday, tee off time was 9:00. Slow pace, but beautiful course with challenging sand traps, undulating greens, blanketed with bent grass more than made up for the pace. Tee Boxes, fairways, traps and greens in great condition. GPS was wonderful!
