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.

Nice Course but HOT!!!!

This is probably the 5th or 6th time I have played this course. I have always found it a moderately difficult course with some easy and challenging holes sprinkled in. For it being 102 the course was in very nice condition and the greens were excellent for it being this time of year. I will definitely play here again.

Thick rough

Pace of play was good but course condition wasn’t as good as it should be. Grass clippings too thick in a lot of places. Course maintenance needs attention

Worth the money

Got on as a single Monday afternoon for $28. Course was in decent shape considering all the rain over the past few days. Tee boxes and fairways were in good shape, but the collars were awful and the greens were the slowest I’ve played this year. Knocked out 18 in 2.5 hours even sitting behind a twosome the entire front 9; pace of play was awesome. Overall, definitely worth the money for a weekday round.

July 4th weekend

Booked a round at 11am on Friday July 3rd. Hot Texas summer day—Pace of play was great. Greens were in great shape—a little slower than expected. Overall great round.

Great value

Course was in great shape. Boxes, fairways, greens.. all solid. Greens were slow but given the rain, understandable. Only saw bev cart once, which was disappointing. Overall, great track for the price.

Tough. But fair

Real tough course. You get rewarded for good shots, punished for bad. It’s how it should be. Greens rolled very smooth but a tad slower than the putting green. Legit only complaint. I’d say we adjusted but we putted like garbage all day. Not the greens fault!!!!! Played the blues, very challenging, good cart attendant, decent pace, just under 4 hour round.
