Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Don’t bother
Played on Sunday 03/05 as a twosome and was paired with a man, his wife and 7 year old son…but that’s a whole other review.. back to the course, Don’t waste your time or money. Grass is non existent. The entire course was playing on hard pan clay. Pace of play was awful which was shocking since we teed off so early (7:30am). Round took 4 hours and 45 mins. No marshall.. no cart girl…
I honestly can’t believe courses are still charging full prices for these well below par golf courses.
Good Value
The Lakes @ Firewheel has always been a course that eats up my game if I'm not hitting it well because it's narrow in several spots and when it's windy it's even more tricky.
The course is in decent shape for February. Tee boxes are rock hard and fairways haven't greened up yet and there's mud and hardpan if you go wide of the rough, but the greens are receptive, smooth and roll true and the course, which has some pretty weird holes (#18 comes right to mind) presents a harder challenge than one would think at it's price point.
So it's good value for the area and the course difficulty and deserves a shot if you're hitting it straight and want to be challenged by some tough holes. And bring extra balls---there's LOTS of water on the Lakes @ Firewheel!
Disappointing
Paid for all four of the tee times in my time slot. One of our players was unable to make it. The “Golf Pro” forced us to allow a walker to play with us without providing any refund (which we didn’t ask for). The “Golf Pro” informed us the course makes no money from the deal times as they are forced to give these tee times to Tee Off for use of their platform. Very disappointing to say the least, won’t be back.
what a day
great weather, course was tough as always but fair, can't wait to play again.
Great Value for the Price
The course layout is awesome and even in the winter it had great views. Course condition must be given some leniency, as it is winter, but bunkers could’ve been cleaner and more well kept and there were some questionable tee boxes, but all in all it wasn’t too shabby. Staff is friendly, for the limited interaction we had (no amenities cart on the course during our round). Would definitely recommend playing here any time of year. I’ll be back, for sure, during peak season to check it out.
Charming course
Definitely a fun course! Looks well-maintained and cared for. Lots of water. Greens looked good. Staff was friendly. It’s definitely worth a look. I will absolutely be back for another round.
Nice surprise!
Last minute booking, searched courses near me by ratings and this one came up. Did not disappoint… club house staff friendly, course pace of play was fantastic, greens were nice for winter golf. Only thing was bunkers were really bad, like rock hard. . But other than that, beautiful lay out and super difficult back 9. Front nine was easy, back nine were super challenging. Keep up the great work guys.
One of the toughest courses around
Good layout, good greens, insanely hard from the championship tees. Water on left and right most holes. Very challenging but fair
