Bridges - The Champion at Firewheel Golf of Garland
Rating Snapshot
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.

Course conditions not what I expected
Champion and Tradition: Most greens had multiple bare spots and lots of unrepaired ball marks. I've never seen the greens at Firewheel in this condition.
Green’s
Would not have played if I had know they had recently punched their greens. It was like Pachinko!!
Good challenge and his conditions
First time here and it's set up pretty well and unique choosing the back 9 of one or the other. Only complaint was the aerating and heavy sand in every green today. With damp conditions, putting was very difficult and sticky. Aside from that, I loved the course challenge, conditions overall, and the well kept fairways. Greens are in good condition except this week due to maintenance.
Top dressed
I wish they would have let me know in advance that they had punched the greens. Also top dressed. This was done yesterday.
Conditions
Fairways are in good shape. Greens are very soft and pitted from divot marks. People not fixing divots is part of the problems but overwatering may be part of it as well. Some bunkers filled with weeds and not maintained . Champions course in much better shape than Traditions .
Still worth the money
The course is just fine
Golfnow was my only problem - it was raining all over the area - at 73 years old I decided not to play because rain predictions were 65% and the temperature was in the 60s - not ideal or even good conditions - because the course did not close Golfnow decided to keep my money. Better be 100% sure you are going to play no matter what are these guys are going to rob you.
Worst Greens I've ever played on
These greens were atrocious. The course was in bad shape all together but these greens looked like tiny land mines had gone off on them.
Best value in DFW
Great track.....only public course I know of with bent grass greens in DFW. 3 different 9’s. Great range and practice facility too.
Temporary Greens
One of my favorite courses, but temp on #6 of champions and Masters is shut down with several bad greens Have to play the Traditions
Don't bring a putter - can't even play the greens
The fairways are hard, the bunkers are hard and the greens are truly some of the worst I've seen. They look nice but the ball leaves a massive divot, the people that play here don't fix their divots and you don't even want to putt here. Extremely inconsistent, bumpy, slow, etc.
Also...1/5 holes you're NOT ALLOWED to even hit at the green!! They put a flag in the fairway and call it a hole. RIDICULOUS. There should really be a warning for this. Save your money and either go elsewhere or go to the range. Really displeased.
