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.

Course looked like recently sirated. Greens were slow & still had fertilizer on them.

Pace of play was good.

Greens are in very good shape.

The fairways are concrete, so the ball rolls an extra 50 yards on first and second shots. Someone turned on the sprinklers on hole 5 and made things interesting.

Winter golf

Played on a Thursday afternoon, very windy, chilly but sun popped out 1/3 thru our round. Greens fast, nice, dormant fairways but no sand in our carts? I was raised to improve the course when I play ( like always try to repair 3 ball marks on every green) but how can you fix fairway divots with no sand? They get many rounds played at all their courses but divots all over the place. Played many rounds here, but just my opinion...
