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.

Great Course for the Money
Went and played for my son’s birthday, was very pleased with course conditions. Read some reviews that said course wasn’t up to par and I would disagree as course was in good shape for this time of year. Will be playing again!
One of the most outstanding courses I've played.
Unbelievable. Best bang for your buck in DFW area. Spectacular. Beautiful. Well kept. Outstanding layout with a good mixture of challenges and imagination. I'm from Jersey and would play here as a member everyday if I lived in the area. Be back in July!!!
Spring conditions
My son and I played 4/7 later in the day. The course layout is fair yet fun. The biggest challenge is I don’t believe they water the course at all. The tee boxes were so hard I broke two plastic tees attempting to put into the ground. The rest of the course was extremely hard….almost impossible to take a divot. The greens rolled pretty good however were not receptive to anything. All in all the course was fun and would expect it would soften up in the next month.
The bridges
Great layout and in fantastic condition! The staff was very accommodating and friendly. I definitely recommend playing this course!
Love this course, all 3 9's are awesome
would highly recommend this to anyone. best bang for the buck in DFW. the greens on the traditions course could use some work, and some fairways could use some more grass but this place rocks! the champions 9 and masters 9 are my two favorites
Just an okay track
Course is narrow with lots of hazards. Greens were rock hard and lots of slopes. Hard to keep even well hit balls in the green. Probably won’t play here again with lots of other options in the area.
Good Value
Good shape. Great pace of play (1st 9 was in 1 1/2 hours!), greens receptive and rolled true. Tough courses.
Good in any weather
I play this course many times and most of the time its in really good shape. All 27 greens have recently been replaced with Tiff Eagle. They roll true and firm so no complaints there. The staff is great and they have remodeled the proshop
