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.

Great for the $!!!

Played here for the first time today and was very happy with what I experienced. Been playing throughout the last 2 months and have yet to find a course that had true, kept up greens. Great price for Mid-day and had a very unique layout. Whooped my butt but as a good course should, 4/5 and with more time to manage this course later into summer will be a go-to!

Good looking course!

This course was super fun and great to play at! However play felt super slowed down due to pace of play. At one point there was 5 groups playing on a single hole!! Aside from that the staff was friendly and nice! Would recommend playing here 100%.

Great Value!

The course is finally starting to grow in and the course conditions are excellent. Give it a couple of weeks and it will be spot on. Challenging but fair golf course. However, no martial in sight for those slow play moments an you might see a cart girl once the entire round.

Crowd

We had a good day to play and enjoyed the course. Many of the tee boxes were dead and full of divets. The pace of play we waited at every tee box to tee off. There was a group of 7 men behind us playing together and they were not the hold up. It was all the hackers ahead of us. But a good value to play 18 with cart. Course needed a Marshall to move players along. We played the Lakes!

Great course, Great value

Very demanding from the back tees that you hit it straight. Water hazards are everywhere. Greens are not fast but not slow either. I'd say an 8or9? in good shape. Roll true. Ball holds the green nicely. Check ups on chip shots. Fairways are firm will get a ton of rollout. Highly recommend giving this course a chance. Bring an extra sleeve or two
