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.

Rock hard fairways
Really challenging and nicely layed out course. Greens are in really good shape. However the fairways were tight and hard as concrete. I wouldn't play here again until summer and hope the fairways come back to life.
Used to be Better
This course used to be in our rotation but we will have to take it out now. The greens on the championship nine are really rough and all the fairways and tee boxes are super dry and hard. The bunkers are in good shape but that is about it. The Masters 9 greens were about average. Really need to water more.
Bad greens
Greens are usually really good. They are struggling right now. A few holes had ok greens the rest were bad.
Weather dominated
The wind blew 25 mph and gusted to 30 mph, so the round was more challenging. Some of the greens need attention, perhaps aeration.
Good layout and great greens
Fun course with nice greens. Make sure you play the Masters 9 as part of your 18 holes.
Good course
The greens were a little in bad shape in some holes, but in general it is a good course.
It’s near that you can select the course since it has 3 nine holes courses actually.
Pace of play
Horrible pace of play. They need more time between tee times
Mr B
Tough course with lots of water and traps. Greens are in bad shape!
