I Recommend This Course
Great value
The course is a great value in DFW. However, the greens were having some issues, several bare spots on a few, and almost all of the had a severe weed issue. Fairways and boxes were fine,

Great course and great value.
Greens were well kept, course was well maintained, and pace of play was decent. Freewheel has 3 different courses and is one of the best public courses in North Texas.

Nice layout. Good conditions
I haven't been to FW-The Lakes in a very long time but we had a great time. Course was in good shape and the layout was fun. The round took longer than we wanted but we will go back.

Good Value
This was an upgrade in condition over Duck Creek, Riverchase and even Waterview, which is better than the previous two. It was in good shape for a public course. No complaints.

Jeff the Gatekeeper
Steer clear of Firewheel, at least the old/lakes side, unless you enjoy being treated like a piece of trash. One of the pro shop guys, think his name is Jeff, should be ashamed of his behavior. His actions reflect poorly on the entire establishment and leave a lasting impression of hostility and disrespect. He was definitely on some sort of stimulant. But, it was clear as day that he's less interested in assisting customers, and more interested in flexing his authority. You work at firewheel buddy. This isn't life or death.
