Lakes at Firewheel Golf Park

Played Lakes course early morning- thank goodness because it was hot. Staff friendly. Was told that greens were punched three days ago- not too bad, a necessary evil and reality. Starter friendly and very helpful. Pace of play was very good and greens were not too bad. Some areas of fairways and roughs overwatered and muddy. Very good round overall- glad finished before heat of day really kicked in. Will definitely return when visiting my daughters again in future.

I like the fact that there are trees and shades in most of the cart paths. It helped very much play and enjoy a round during a very hot day. Fairways were fair. Greens were Ok. Some fairways were hard and I had to be cautious about the distance the ball rolling.

Excellent way to utilize your irons and fairway woods…placement is key and there will be a lot of blind looks at the hole from tee box to the approach of you don’t learn to place the ball in a certain area…this is what makes the course very unique in my opinion…was a lot of fun and I played more clubs in my bag than I expected . Most greens are elevated so you must be able to throw darts with your approach. Great way to play a round!

Getting carts took up 30-45 minutes past scheduled tee times, with very little communication with staff.

The course has a lot of trees around tee boxes and along the cart paths. Those trees were very helpful during the very hot day. It could’ve been miserable.

Greens rolled well. There were a few holes that were too dry but I won’t complain for the prices I paid.

Pace of play was good until back nine 2 1/2 hours to play (played front nine in 1:20 min.) so overall less than 4 hours.

The course was in okay shape, the greens were punched not too long ago so made putting difficult. The course was dry, which made the fairways and green hard. All the employees were friendly except one person who had a lil attitude but don't we all lol.

Course is hanging in there. Greens rolled nicely. Their carts are junk- barely work. And clubhouse is dingy

I booked a single thru GN on Saturday afternoon and it was amazing. 26 bucks to ride 18 holes on a great course. The staff was friendly and efficient. All the people ive met playing are friendly and the same skill level as me. The course was in pristine condition. They have #10 under construction so you have to play it like a par 3 and I pared it. Shot an 84 on what is always a challenging 18 holes. I've spent a lot of time trying to break 90 out there and it paid off today!

Course was in good condition and the greens were fast.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE STAFF THEY ARE GREAT!! I have played this course for the last 6 years and up until this year it has been a good course. This season the Garland Parks department has cut funding and the Old and Lakes courses have paid the price. Grass is growing into the unmaintained sand traps. The fairways are lacking and bare in many places. The carts are beat up and need to be replaced the putting green has more dirt than grass. The practice area needs to be reseeded and allowed to grow back. It’s so sad it was a great course but the way it is now I won’t be back. Like I said in the beginning this is not a reflection of the staff some of the people in the pro shop have been there for years and have always been professional and kind. Employees like this should be rewarded because they are hard to find and keep. In closing the Garland Parks Dept needs to increase the budget for the Old and Lakes courses and hire enough quality people to maintain all three courses.

This course has a great layout and definitely get your money’s worth. I just wish the golf carts had GPS on them. Other than that it was great experience. First time golfing here and course was great. Hole #10 on the Lakes Course is currently under construction but management has done a great job to setup a detour

The greens are great. Because of all the ponds and creeks, choose the right tees and go for the widest part of the fairway and the middle off the green.

course is in superb condition, great greens, great fairways, led to an eagle on #9!

The course condition becomes very nice to play. The green is not too fast nor slow. Fairways are great. The only thing is a construction on no. 10 but that's a long overdue. I had a fun and hope to play here more often.
