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.

Challenging but Fair
This course is fair & fun to play. We played from the blue tees. It’s not hard, if you keep the ball in play. It’s fairly wide, so that is not a big problem. I thought the greens were in very good shape. They are fast and I think they break more than anticipated. We played at 1022 on a Friday and finished under 4 hours. I will come back, especially with special internet rates.
Gotta play this one
Greens and fairways in great shape. Pace of play great. This is a jewel and for under 20 bucks .a steal
Great value for a well conditioned course
After a delay in getting out (single player),paired with another single. Enjoyed the round and conditions. Long front 9 w/ 5 some slowing everyone. Passed them on turn (had to ask them) then played in under 2 hours on back. Great condition, greens were fantastic.
Great layout with plenty of scenery
My wife and I played here on a weekday afternoon on the way to Austin. Greens were in great shape and the course is laid out in a very interesting way around the river/creek that runs through it. We did have to wait 15-20 mins on several holes towards the end due to a bunch of adults and children playing some kind of tournament. They eventually let us thru. I think we played the Masters and Champion course. We did find it hard to make the transition from one course to the next. Maybe some signs? However, we really enjoyed it. My wife loved the place, which is rare. We will be back next time we pass though.
Great outing
The course was in great shape, very challenging but if you put it in the correct spots you can scores well. Greens in great shape, highly recommend this course.
Not that great greens and fairways right now.
Firewheel Bridges usually have immaculate greens and fairways but I guess they are in a process of repairing everything. The greens have weeds and the fairways aren’t that lush. The winter could have something to do with that. Hopefully everything will be better in late spring or summer.
Not worth the money
Course is under renovation making the course conditions aweful. Should be a crime to pay $54 to golf on that course in its current state. Let alone the greens are the worst !!!! You can find way nicer courses for a cheaper rate. I might try it again in a year.
Poor
No starter. Several groups of five players all claiming to have the 12:14 tee time. Took forever to ge through the round. Not enjoyable. Course conditions were mediocre. They had just aerated greens and failed to mention so at the pro shop.
Great winter golf
Greens on Champion 9 were perfect, Tradition 9 were slower an bumpy. winter conditions with a touch of recent rains and runoff areas. Good layouts both nines, def need to work the ball on Traditions 9. Pace was 3:40 for our foursome at 11am. Joined by 3 other gentlemen, we had a great time. Good price on GolfNow. Staff gave me a free set of range balls - kudos for the customer service
