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.

Let's live truthfully

I left my pitching wedge on the 6th or 7th hole of the Master Course. I asked the team behind me, but they all said they didn't know. No matter how good the golf course is, only unscrupulous players come here, so the quality of the golf course is just below par. Everyone is having a hard time making a living, so looking at golf clubs seems to make them greedy.

Course and greens in great condition considering the brutal summer we've had. Champions 9 looks even better and should be open to public play after the next hosted tourney.

Great Value and great course

What I am about to say goes for all three courses Old/ Lakes/ Bridges. I have been playing at all three since 2014.

The staff at all three locations are fantastic. The Old / Lakes club house is a little older but the city has put money into and its really looking great. The Bridges course is more modern with better practice facilities but you cant go wrong with either one. The Lakes and Old course are in great shape but the greens roll slightly slower than the bridges. Considering the TERRIBLE shape other public courses like Twin Creeks, Ridgeview ranch and Woodbridge are in this place is a gem. Unlike those others all the greens are open and well trimmed. All the tee boxes are in great shape. A real hats off to the greens staff at these two facilities.

Sandy course but fun to play

The course has tons of bunkers that can ruin decent drives but overall the course plays to your advantage if you have fades or draws. Lots of doglegs and fun par 3s.

Fun course!

Greens are smooth and true especially for July!

Fairways are in good shape and tee boxes are predictably hard.

Very few players on the course. Showed up an hour early at 11am for a 12:10pm tee time and they said "tee off right now if you like!". Great pace of play.

Water on the course and the cart girl came around 4-5 times.

Hard to beat at the GolfNow hot deal of $25!!
