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.

Awesome layout
Played this several times and it has always been in great shape. This time the bunkers were terrible though.
Great place to play.
You can never go wrong at any if the 3 Bridges courses. Greens and bunkers are always in goid shape. All 3 courses are challenging layouts.
Beat value and experience in Dallas area.
Good value
The course was in great shape.
Pace of play was okay for a Saturday. 4-1/2 hours.
Great experience
I've played the Bridges before but they have obviously embraced their brand. Richard Cosbie in the golf shop is a living legend who guided me through the whole experience. If you want a rare opportunity to play top notch bent grass greens within a story book bedroom community then The Bridges is your destination. I'll be looking for my next opportunity on GolfNow.
Great Round
Course was in great condition. Brother visiting from out of town really enjoyed the round!
Please Don't Punch Me
You'll like this course. I prefer playing the Champions and the Masters. Right now, the fairways are running fast. Bunkers are well maintained. The greens have been punched recently, but are still pretty hard and don't receive a good approach very well. So, so plan on an extra amount of roll out. This course is not too tight or too long for us duffers. Lots of fun.
Nice day
Course was in good shape but greens had been recently punched so they were bumpy and slow. Otherwise great day.
Always in good shape
Great layout, fun, challenging and a good deal with GolfNow. The greens were aerated a few days before we played, but they still rolled very well.
Windy and cold but enjoyed
It was cold and very windy when we played. We almost second guessed our decision to play but glad we didn’t back out. The course has a very nice layout and is in very good condition. The greens rolled true. It will challenge all skill levels. I will definitely play this course again. I can see if becoming one of my favorite courses to play.
Excellent
This course far exceeds any of the near by courses. Greens and farways were perfect. Much nicer carts as well.
Nice Day
For this time of year, the course was in great shape. Those were the best greens I have played in 2018. I wish more cities would develop a venue with 54 holes of play or even 36 for that matter. Bridges has always been the nicest of the 3 courses.
