The Lakes Course at Firewheel is a links-style course that is loaded with water, and was a Dick Phelps creation on his return to Garland in 1987. Hole 7 is the most difficult–a long 549-yard par 5 that requires an approach over a pond.

Getting there : From Dallas, take Hwy. 75 north and exit Arapaho. Turn right and when you come to N. Garland Ave., turn left. Drive to W. Blackburn Rd. and turn west. The course is just down the road.

Course is in great shape

Course is in great shape. Tee box to green was great. Greens are a bit firm but expected for Texas greens. They need more cart staff to help out with the number of golfers on the course. There were a few bare spots but nothing to really complain about. Only complaint is the bunkers need to be raked prior to play. Pace of play was good. Great value!

Lakes Course

Positive experience overall, great track and friendly staff. We were just hoping to have visits from cart staff for snacks, food and drinks. We had plenty of money to spend, since no one stopped by, we went to a local restaurant/bar and ran up a tab there, sorry…

The greens and tee boxes need some TLC.

Fun layout with gorgeous par 5’s, but nearly all of the greens have patches of sand and mud riddled throughout.

Highly recommend

This is a great course! We played right after a rain storm and it had only stopped raining an hour prior to our tee time. The run off is so great on this course that there was virtually no standing water on any fairway. The fairways and green are in good shape with only a few bare spots. I will be back for sure!

Beautiful but Tough

I have played here many times over the years. It remains a beautiful layout, and a stern test. Nearly always in great shape, Recommended.

Absolutely amazing round!

Played at 3:05 today, ended up being able to stay solo which is a huge plus for me! Course was wide open, and I loved it! Honestly no complaints from me today, heck of a round!

Great price. Good course.

I hadn't played here in a while, and I totally enjoyed the layout. Fairways were coming in nicely (spring) and the greens rolled true and pretty quickly!

Lots of odd twosomes out there, many walking. Really slowed the course down. We were out there well over 5 hours - even with taking the carts out on the fairways. Had a single behind us who was RIGHT behind us every time we turned around. Very annoying.

Golf etiquette

Everything was overall good with the exception of the group in front of me. Two of the 4 were sharing clubs and extremely slow with no courtesy for anyone else. They were trying to run over geese instead of going to their balls. No business being on the course
