Rating 75.5

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.

Mr B

One of my favorite golf courses in DFW and a really good value. The golf carts are getting old and need to be replaced.

Course was in good shape. Flag placements were challenging for a tournament.

Great Staff

First off, my playing partner lost his range finder on the 5th hole, the Course Marshall was kind enough to drive around and find it. As far as the golf course, the whole layout is great. It took us a little over 3 hour 20 minutes to play, fairways and greens are in fantastic condition. I'd recommend this course to anyone.

Hot humid but challenging fun

Great layout, must have shot making & always a great play to play. Better than I though with the long summer drought but never any sand in the cart bottles? I always try to leave the course better than I play it but no chance to fix divots, come on Lakes at Firewheel staff....

Great value with holes to test every aspect of your game

I wish they had cart people on the weekend but they didn't have one on the Sunday we played. They have a large indoor clubhouse that could have a nice set up for golf watching after a round but they haven't taken advantage of that yet. Still one of my favorite places to play for the price.
