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.

The Lakes Golf Course

My only problem was no cart girl. It’s Friday and busy. And the day is hot. What’s up with no refreshments on the course?

Nice course but needs a marshal

Great course for the money for sure. Greens and Fairways kept better than some courses that costs 2 times more. The staff are very friendly. I only have couple of negatives. 1) a group ahead of us were playing extremely slow and had 3 entire holes open in front of them but there was no marshal available. Ended up playing a 5 hr 15 min round when it should have been 4.5 hours at most. 2) no beverage cart service

Rocks everywhere

Tee boxes are trash. Pebbles/rocks all over the course in very close proximity to fairways and greens. If you want to destroy your clubs because you’re 5 yards off the green or fairway then this is your course. Fairways and greens are in good shape but that’s it. Seriously why would you have small rocks in spots not needed for drainage.

Windy Texas round.

Sustained winds 25-28 mph, frequent gusts of 35-40 mph round. Two brides with one hole out of bunker, up and down seven times one double bogey …Thank you Golf Now for the value. I always recommend your site, especially my clients/ friends…!

Not Maintained Well

The bunkers were just trash. The course didn’t looked maintained and the pace of play was horrendous because it seems they just let to many people play to close to each other.

Cart died after 2 holes played

Nice layout, friendly staff, the entire course was extremely dry dead brown grass all over shoes, clothes and everywhere. Cart died after 2 holes played second cart was fine. No coolers to put beverages in they was nice enough to put ice in plastic bags.
