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 pace of play!
There’s a couple of areas that they are actively trying to recover. But overall would play this place again!
Nice course
Greens and fairways were in good shape, Nice course
Great greens!
I play all over Frisco/Plano/Richardson/Garland and this course is a great value. The greens were in great shape unlike others up north (which are more expensive btw) so do yourself a favor and drive to Garland and take advantage of a great deal.
First Time
Played the Bridges course for the first time to try a new course. Greens and fairways are in great shape, some of best I have played this Spring. Finished in 4 hours and never waited. Only thing I would say as a negative comment is there was no beverage cart and most of the water coolers were empty. If I had known that before I started I would have filled up the on cart cooler with drinks and ice. Overall very fund course at a good price. Will definitely play again.
Great golfing
I always enjoy playing the Bridges courses. Fairways & greens were great. Did a twilight round and almost got through all 18. Had to stop at 17 but was well worth it.
Really great greens for a public course
Many of the Frisco/Plano courses have greens in bad shape but we were pleasantly surprised to see Firewheel's greens in great shape. For a holiday, we would have expected to see the cart girl at least once but never saw her, not to mention many of their water jugs were empty.
Keep it going
Nice to see greens and fairways in good shape. Only one bad green and it was makeshift bc of course improvements. Keep up the good work.
Pretty good shape. Great value
Besides the first green being temporary, the greens and the course were in good shape. I like the layout. White tees are like 6000 yards. Shorter par 3s. Over all I’d play here again.
Great condition, but no Marshal
Course is in really good condition given the recent rain, pace of play was horrible though. No starter or marshal present on a busy Saturday to help regulate pace of play. 5 hours for a 2 some, teed off at noon. I will play here again but would advise budgeting for a 5 hour round of golf regardless of group size if playing on the weekend when the weather is nice.
