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.

Hole#17 Par 5

Hole#17, Par 5 fairway is in repairing status, so it was set up like Par 3, 145 yards. It was a kind of embarrassment.

Awesome

Great course. Great layout. Greens were in great condition. Overall good pace of play until the back 9, got backed up a little bit. Only negative on back 9 the coolers were all empty and our whole group ended the round feeling like Spongebob when he needed the water!!!!

Awesome course. Don’t miss out

Great course but was packed.

Had to combine groups to finish last 2 holes before it was completely dark. Had a pair of guys 3 groups in front of me not let anyone play through and made the back 9 take twice as long as the front. it usually takes me 2 hours to play a round and this round was barely finished in 4. Most of that being on the back nine.

Great track but no amenities

Great track but no amenities . That’s right.. NO CART GIRL. It was 104 Fahrenheit outside and all but one water jug had water in it. So for 18 holes we had no way of hydrating. I’m surprised nobody has had a heat stroke yet!

Highly recommend

I do not think that staffs are changing pin positions everyday because edges of hole cups were not sharp. Irons only at the driving range. But I highly recommend the lake course- challenging. layout, as well as beautiful. Prepare beat-up balls. and sharp your iron shorts. If you pay $40 on GN, it is greatly worth for money.
