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.

Must have had rain event earlier in week- Course still wet, even tee boxes and sand traps still muddy - traps mostly dirt. Greens fairly good- again wet conditions causing difficulty maintaining greens
Really liked course layout - challenging holes

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.
