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.

Good value
We played champions and traditions, each 9 holes. Really like the Traditions
Hot and Heavy
First time playing on a last minute golf now deal. Cart included which is essential with these heat extremes atm.
Paired up with a nice guy called Les and it was a nice round. The 3 ball ahead of us were slow and also didn't seem to understand how to speed up their round by utilizing the cart to full effect. Really wish the carts would tell people they are behind on time like they do with being out of bounds.
That was really my only gripe but that seems standard for golf these days.
Only other one was that with the heat index over 107F the water jugs on the course were sometimes out of water.
At the turn I grabbed a gatorade and hot dog which was much needed. Server was very pleasant to chat to briefly.
Champions was tight but managed to score well enough given that I can't put on greens this fast.
Overall, really liked the course and layout.
Good for the value
I have played their before and have always had fun. The track is fun and not to challenging on a Sunday in June northward of 90 degrees in weather the pace of play was good. Until the 15th hole, now granted if you have never played firewheel it can be confusing. Because its 3 different courses put together to make 18. Cleaner direction on the course would definitely help the pace of play.
The greens had just been aerated so it was like putting on a beach
Mostly a good report
everything was pretty good today at Bridges. Tees, fairways and greens were in good shape, greens we a little slow but rolled well. A lot of low lying areas were very muddy, from last week's storms I guess. Fairways did have some muddy areas too. Practice area was good, but putting green was closed. a 77 degree morning in June and 4 hours for 18 holes is very much worth the price.
Golf cart died
Course was good. Then at hole 14 cart died. Has to be pushed from other golfers to finish. No one at club house seemed to have cared. To me to get my stuff out and walk to truck
Course was rough
The course was not in good shape. The fairways had spots of just dried up dirt.
