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.

Very meh
So, I’m a bit disappointed in this experience but also kind of met my expectation on experience. Cost was $60 for a weekend early start, not terrible. Clubhouse employee was a bit rude when I communicated I had my push cart and he said we do g allow walkers. I said is that a new policy because I brought my push cart my last round here and several times before. Response, “No, and I’m not going to get into an argument with you about it…” Ok fella, it’s not that serious. Course itself is just very average. Greens not great, exceptionally slow. But we’re talking about a Muni course in Garland so again, my expectations are not Augusta. I do think it would really help if players were reminded when checking in to fill their divots and fix their ball marks as well as maybe having the starter reinforce this activity and maybe even a sign or two around the course. What makes some of these municipal courses so an enjoyable to play is terrible greens because nobody ever fixes a ball mark. Anyway, your mileage may vary a bit, but I feel like this used to have a bit of a premium course feel for municipal and I would certainly never say that now. Coming from a nine handicap, 46-year-old male for context.
Challenging but Fun
What is nice about this course is most of the fairways are are wide so I did not lose a single drive and on all but one hole I was in the fairway.
Plus I had a Birdie and an Eagle.
Fairways were not good, no on course drinks or food
Great challenge
Course was in good shape Greens quick and challenging. I really enjoyed the round.
Great experience and good times!
Good times! The greens were challenging, but fair. Our twosome lost several golf balls in the middle of the fairway because of tree leaves, urgh! Good times anyway!
Good condition but need some water control management
Course was in good condition but something needed to be done with the excess water and mud...some sand or some flooding landscaping desperately needs to be done
Nice course, lots of ridiculous rules
You aren’t allowed to walk this course. Don’t go on cart path only days so give them 3-4 days after each rain before going.
There are three 9 hole courses they rotate two at a time for 18 holes.
Since you have to ride cart path only days are a chore and the wide fairways, while nice when you can drive to your ball are a pain when the ball is on the wrong side. The Champions course is nice with wide fairways, challenging pin positions, and hard greens. Masters has very narrow fairways and is a much harder challenge.
Decent Value for Dollar
About what you’d expect for <$40. Greens in pretty good shape with some challenging pin placement. Bunkers were in good shape as well. Main gripe is fairways were EXTREMELY firm with thin layer of grass. Hitting irons/wedges off fairways basically felt like hitting off hard packed mud with a thin layer of grass on top.
Wet and muddy!
We played yesterday morning and coarse was super wet and muddy on every hole especially around the greens! It hadn’t rained in Dallas since last week! Not sure why!
Never Disappoints
Course is in good condition for this time of year. Greens are really fast
Never Disappoints
Windy conditions but still a good time. Course is in good condition. Pace of play was good. Under 4 hours.
