Bridges - The Champion at Firewheel Golf of Garland
About
Firewheel Golf Park in Garland is home to the 27-hole Bridges Course, which is comprised of three nines that are played in different 18-hole combinations. Opened in 2001, the course has been host to several U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur events. The nines offer plenty of variety, each utilizing the tree-covered rolling terrain in different ways. The Champion nine is the second longest nine. It features large putting surfaces and sculpted fairways lined with mature oak and pecan trees. You'll run into a fair amount of strategically placed bunkers on this nine. The Rowlett and Spring Creek meander through the entire layout, coming into play on several holes. In addition to the three 18-hole golf courses provided by the Bridges, there are also the two other 18-hole courses at Firewheel, the original Old Course and the Lakes Course.

A good course with a few changes.
The bridges course at Firewheel is by far the best of the three in the complex. I played the Masters and Traditions nines yesterday and for the most part the course was in good shape. the greens rolled true and the fairways were in fantastic shape. I have played other courses in the Plano area that could learn a great deal from the grounds crew at firewheel. There were fewer people than I expected but that could have been due to the hot temps along with many people being out at the Byron Nelson.
There have been a few changes but nothing major. Two trees on the 7th hole on the masters course either fell down or were cut down. that changed how you play that par 5 but not a big deal. The addition of the MASSIVE power lines that cut the 8th hole on the traditions course down do a gap wedge shot is a little disappointing but I doubt that the course had any say in where the power lines were going. As always the practice facilities were in great shape and the staff has always been friendly. Its a great course and I would recommend it to anyone.
Great Muni Course
Firewheel bridges course is one of the nicest municipal courses around Dallas. The three nines are very different, and each provides its own unique layout. The greens are bent however they’re transitioning to Bermuda. Overall it is well worth the price paid on GolfNow!
Course In great condition
Beautiful course in garland. I like all 3 of the 9’s. Masters is the best IMO. Pace of play is great. Only down side is we didn’t see a cart person with beverages/snacks at all. Come prepared as it gets into higher temperatures.
Decent but a bit pricy for the course and conditions
Not a bad course and entertaining layout. Greens and bunkers in good conditions. Not impressive at all and a bit pricy in my opinion
Surprisingly the green were in great shape for bend grass. . Roll smooth and fast.
I will put this course back in rotation.
Course was in good condition, and I love the Staff and Leadership team in the Pro Shop.. one of the Best in all of Dallas!
Love to see them, they remember your name, always friendly, quick payments.. the Best..
Good challenge
Overall a good course, great staff, driving range was open pre-dawn. Greens.we’re in great shape.
