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 good shape.

Course is in great shape. Greens are firm and there is plenty of water and hazards to make for a challenging round. I’ll be back for sure

Great course, need marshall

Everything was good except that they had someone fishing on the course. This slowed down pace of play and created a dangerous situation because you has non- golfers in direct line of tee boxes. The teenagers could have serious ly injured had a stray shot hit them.

Solid course

The course was in great shape! Tee box, fairways, greens were solid. The rough wasn’t so rough and there were patches of dirt. Sometimes it was good and other times not so good for my game. Staff was really cool. Need to get more help on the drink cart. Only 1 person out there supporting both courses on a super hot day. Layout of the course is challenging and requires accuracy. Overall great value for the course.

Wow

Tee to green the course is a step above other public tracks and on par with even a few private clubs. Enjoyed the time there on a very hot day!
