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.

Greens recently aerated
Customers should not have to pay full price when playing on greens recently aerated and sanded!
Amazing
Course is in amazing shape all 3 firewheel courses are great, greens are perfect! Water on a few holes but not too challenging and shouldn’t lose too many balls, some fairways are more tight with trees around but makes it great
Hot but fun
Courses were in decent albeit a bit dried out. The greens were in good shape and fast. What I love about this course is the abundance of shade to avail yourself on 100 degree days. Also, not too many residences lining the fairways. Overall, a good day although having to return our carts by 8pm limited us to 16 holes.
Great
Played Champions and Master.. Greens are in great condition. Great course and good value.
Good shape
The course is in great shape, super tight fairways on The Masters 9. It’s a shot makers course
Great course layout but no water on course in 100 degree heat.
Great course layout but when my son called the proshop and asked if they can get water out on the course , the response should not be “that’s golf course maintenance job”…
Ok…so…this has prompted me to write a review..
In addition you can’t get a beverage cart person after 4pm cause they leave and come back at 5:30/6:00pm to unload and clock out apparently…??
Does the City of Garland run this course…what’s going on with the daily operation…??
Nice round late in the day!
Grass to hit off, greens rolling good, T Boxes could have a tad more grass but overall, a value for a Sr, for Sure!
It's ok
Hardpan is an understatement for the tee boxes...concrete..bring steel tee's. Lol
We had our back 9 cut short because they require carts by 8, so be aware.
Overall, it's OK.
Greens In Good Shape
I used to hate the soft bent grass greens but now they are in nice shape. Overall the course was in good shape.
Champions/Masters
Champions/Masters are both in great shape for July.
Tee boxes have ample grass but are rock hard. Fairways are good, not a lot of ground under repair areas. Greens are smooth and relatively fast.
Of note, the greens are really hard, not a pitch mark to be found, so you have to shoot for the front edge distance for your ball to hold!
Fireweheel Bridges
I have played this course where it has 3 nines.The 2 nines we played usually was BentGrass greens and was in bad shape. Looks like they changed to Bermuda greens and were in really good shape and we liked putting on the greens.
Bridges at firewheel
Always a good track at firewheel!
Good job on keeping pace of play at a good rate
