Lakes at Firewheel Golf Park

I honestly don’t do reviews unless my experience exceptional or the other side of the spectrum. I’ll start by saying that for $40-$50 a round it’s borderline a decent value… frankly I’d rather pay $100 though to play somewhere if this is what I’m to expect for this price point. And for comparative purposes, I just finished playing Webb Hill CC at this price point and WOW! Beautiful. Scenic, great fairways, fast greens, I mean wow. It’s a haul but worth it. Alas this is about Lakes course at fire wheel which underwhelmed in every way. I’ve played Bridges and Old course (crap) and Bridges was fine. Currently, this is a goat ranch: fairways are terrible, tee boxes need a hammer to get your tee in, Losing balls You n the middle of the fairway because there’s just crap all over. And even then I’d be willing to look past some of that but the cherry was a golf cart I got covered in some kind oil or armor all… I don’t know but it got on everything I own. It was all over the steering wheel, seats, in bag carrier area, flooring and you couldn’t see out the window. I ruined my round as it got all over my grips and gloves, ruined $120 pair of golf shorts and had to detail my Vessel bag. I would’ve brought it to management’s attention but I figured they cared about as much as they did giving a customer a golf cart in that condition. I’ve gone on long enough… DONT PLAY HERE. Find a better track. Pay the extra money. Make the longer drive. Do yourself the favor. End rant.

Course is in amazing condition right now. Greens are running fast and makes for a challenging day for sure.

What do you need to say? It's in the best condition.

Course was great. My only complaint is that there was no hole on the first Tee, & nobody in the pro shop made anybody aware of it prior to our round.

There was just a flag sticking up at the hard turn of the dog leg, to which we thought was an aim point. After hitting our approach shot onto the green (that had no flag) we walked up to see there was also no cup! I ended up giving myself a par so I can’t be too mad, but definitely caused for some confusion to start my round.

Highly recommend going!

Fairways were in great condition. Haven’t seen them this way in a long time. Going back!

This is a fun course if you're ready to play target golf for a day. It is a fun break from the monotony that some other courses can become. I wouldn't only play here but I will definitely keep it in the rotation as a break from the norm. The first green was still out of play so there is a temporary green making the first hole a great warm up hole at this point. The starter stated that the first green should be in play soon so that is a welcome change. Pace of play was under 4 hours and we started at 8:05 Sunday morning. The pro shop employees were also very nice in my brief interactions. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing how the Old Course renovation turns out as well.

For a public course it’s reasonably well maintained. Good value for money

First time playing the Lakes Course at Firewheel. I was somewhat skeptical from reading some recent reviews, and almost canceled our tee time because of them. I'm glad that I didn't!

There was a temporary green on hole #1 as stated in previous reviews, but not a big deal. I'm looking forward to coming back once the reworked green is playable. Hole #1 is a sharpe dog leg right that goes up a hill and then down the hill to the green. Cool looking hole.

The rest of the course was in pretty good shape. Really enjoyed the layout of the course. Older designed course with elevated greens. Tons of small ponds/lakes and Creeks that lined the fairways. Definitely coming back.

They need golf carts, they have very few and they suck.

Played on a Monday afternoon, first green is a temporary, but other than that and a few of the tee boxes needing work, the greens were in great shape.
