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 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
Good but challenging course
This course test you out with narrow fairways but It is kept up well. Very fun definitely recommend it.
Bridges
Friendly staff and a nice round of golf. Course is in especially good shape considering all the rain we’ve had in Texas. Greens were in really good shape.
Fantastic
Great course conditions. I know it sounds crazy but I showed up at the course without my golf clubs. Pro Shop staff was amazing and took care or me. Made my day and my visiting sisters round memorable. Thanks guys.
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!!!
