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.

Amazing Property, Challenging Course

Course conditions were pretty great on the Lakes course. Greens were punched a while back and there was slight signs of it, greens were a bit slow. But overall, I’ve played much worse. Would gladly play this course again and would recommend to any skill level.

Great greens!

The course is in great shape since all the water from the storms. The greens are almost perfect. There is some spot on the course that still needs work but it’s not a big deal.

Where is Everyone?

I was astounded that we had the course to ourselves on a beautiful day and great course. Although the greens showed some aeration marks, they rolled great and no problem with playing the ball down in the fairways.

Lakes Course

The greens were punched a few weeks ago and have recovered nicely. It's a challenging layout with plenty of water to make you think about club selection.

Great Shape

The Lakes Course at Firewheel was in great shape despite all of the rain that it has gotten over the past few weeks. Greens were in good shape and the fairways were very good as well. I play here about once every two or three months, and I am rarely disappointed. The pace of play today was a bit slower than I like because we were a threesome riding and there was a walking single between us and another riding threesome. Other than that, it was a great day to play golf.

Firewheel Lakes

Great course. Most of the greens were smooth. The fairways were in great shape. The bunker sand was in pretty bad shape probably because of so much rain. Many of the water stations on the back nine had no water and it was rather warm. We saw no cart girl at all. The course itself was very challenging and the course was well marked.
