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.

This is a thinking course
We all enjoyed the day at Firewheel, none of us had played the course before and found it challenging. We all agreed that we would play it again
Okay
The cart girl only came by once in18 holes. The course is okay. I would play it again.
Not my favorite
Poor condition but was early in spring. Might be better when grass greens and trees fill out.
Great day of golf
It is mid Feb...yeah, so the fairways haven't grown out yet, it isn't lush and green...but what a fun track to play. The Greens were in great shape and rolled really week. Would play here again in a heartbeat!
greek freak
Great Deal for the money. Course is kept in great condition. good layout. I highly recommend this course.
Good course
This course was a lot of fun. I played it the day after a heavy rain and the course still looked good. I will definitely be back.
This course has a novice challenging design
I will definitely play this course again for my continuous game improvement.
Course in great shape and very pretty holes
I forgot how pretty some of the holes look out on the Lakes course. All greens and fairways are in really good shape and rolling true. With some forced carries, tight lanes and small greens there are some real challenges from the blue tees. Great value. Good job Garland.
recommended with provisions
The course is in great shape! A lot of water on the course - it IS the Lakes course, but didn't come into play a lot. However, I believe it is on hole 16, there is a creek all along the right side that isn't depicted on the score card or my sky caddie.
We were right at a 4-hour pace of play (9 am tee time). However, the marshal came up to us on the back around hole 12/13 and informed us we HAD to be finished by 1:00 because there was a shotgun tournament teeing off. That would have been good to know in the pro shop before we teed off or at the turn.
No cart girl (glad we asked!) so had to stop at the turn for provisions. The ladies in the grill are very nice, but definitely not in a hurry. Prices are reasonable, 16 oz beers instead of the traditional 12 ouncers. No coolers on the cart, glad we brought our own.
Would play again & recommend.
Good course especially for the value
Course was overall in really good shape. Greens were a little bumpy and slow but held well. Better yardage markings would also be a great help. All in all a really good course and a great value
gets me everytime, except this time
Finally broke 90 and this thing. Tons of water and hazards on the right. They keep the rough pretty long a lot of times, greens are pretty slow. Bunkers in good shape. This course is tough, but finally was able to get under 90. Ugh!
Hidden Gem
This course is amazingly in GREAT condition! The grounds from tee to green are in great shape. I would play here everyday if I could!.
Great deal on a challenging course.

The Lakes Stays in my Rotation
I play The Lakes at Firewheel monthly. The course was in good condition where it counts (fairways and greens) but rough around the edges. Always a fun layout if you know it. A great value.
Hot, hot, and did i say hot?
Okay, so the heat wasn't the fault of the golf course. First time playing this course and tee time was 11:30 on a Hot Deal. The front desk gentleman was a little less than customer service oriented it once past this, we found a nice little course that could become our home course instead of Los Rios. The fairways, greens, and bunkers were in great shape. The pace of play was great as not many people were playing the Lakes Course.. Had a quick bite at the grill after 9 and the grill was nice and cool. Have had a better burger but it is a golf course, not a restaurant. The on course restrooms are air conditioned and all of the coolers were filled with ice cold water. Only made it through 14 holes before we decided to call it a day due to the heat. However, we look forward to returning and finishing not only this side, but the Old Course as well.
Overbooked
Course was in nice shape but was either overbooked or too slow. No marshalls to speed up play. Over 5hr round.
