Lakes at Firewheel Golf Park
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Must play
The lakes course is in excellent condition.
A great layout.
Will be playing this course many more times.
Great day for golf
Thought the course was in excellent condition. Greens were great. Pace of play was a little slow. Lots of players, but still finished in less than 4 hours.
Great Day
The course was in pretty good shape but greens were slow, slower than they should have been. Other than that, it was great!
Glad to be Back
We had not played The Lakes for some time due to the poor greens the last time but were pleased to find them in much better shape this time. With the great pace of play and price, we'll be back.
FW lakes
Scenic course with plenty of challenge and bite. Numerous holes with carry over water. Definitely lakes abound.
Very busy and needs on-course staff
Play was exceptionally slow at the Lakes. On a busy Sunday. i have to wonder why the course staff does not have a starter or any course marshals to keep the pace of play moving. The first tee was chaos and carts were lined up on #1 8 deep. This wiat continued from tee to green on every hole. No marshals to push golfers along or stop them from hawking balls in the creeks and woods. No drink carts to sell sodas or snacks. #17 is flooded and the par 5 now plays from the 150 mark as a par 3. Not sure why, we havent had that much rain in at least a week. Greens are in mediocre condition due to high levels of play and poor greens management.
The couse is a great layout and well matured track so it is really a shame they dont cater to the players more.
Great day for golf!
Excellent conditions and pace of play was perfect. Also, the staff was great and I recommend this course for sure.
Firewheel- The Lakes Course
I’ve been playing all three courses at Firewheel for over 15 years. The lakes is always the most challenging for me and I’m an 8 handicap. Really enjoy the layout, the course conditions, and the staff. Greens were quick, but well maintained. It’s beginning of January so it’s not lush green like the summer, but it’s still a great course that will challenge you. This layout will force you to use every club in the bag. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone.
Great course
This course is a great course to play there's three of them if only GolfNow would give me discounts it would be better I've been playing here in the last 4 years all of a sudden GolfNow decided not to give no discounts I am very disappointed
Frustrating day.
Had a good time with a friend. No issues with the staff. Unfortunately the course was in pretty rough shape. I was disappointed as I've played there years ago and it was fantastic.
What happened to the greens?
I have been playing here for so long that I couldn’t even remember the greens being this bad. It’s like no one fixed their divots and the groundskeepers didn’t do anything about it. The Old Course greens are 100 time better than the Lakes currently. I hope it does not stay this way cause I love this course.
