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.

Wet conditions
Played in a light to steady rain entire 18 holes. Course held up well & played in 4+ hrs cart path only
Great Value
The course was in very good condition. Wasn't the easiest course I've ever played. I played the Lakes course, and there were some pretty easy holes, but there were also some really tough ones that were made even more difficult because of the colder, windy conditons that were out there that day. It's definitely a course that I would like to play again one day.
Very Slow Play
I really like playing the Lakes course because its challenging, however, every time I play it ... The play is so slow .. I can never finish 18 holes
firewhhel lakes course
IT WAS A GREAT DAY IN JANUARY WITH TEMPERATURE OF 80 DEGREES.cOURSE WAS IN GOOD SHAPE with some challenging holes once the wind picked up...My son and I had a great day!!!
Lakes course
Fantastic layout. Lots of great, difficult doglegs. GPS is needed. Will certainly play many more times.
A day on the Lakes
This is the second time I have played the Lakes. I played with my brother we had a great time the course was in very good shape, and the pace of play was very good.
Good course for 20-30 bucks
Had a good time, played with a 3some of older guys. Two were nice, the other was a grumpy old man that was having a bad round and wanted to complain the entire time. There was lots of fog on the front 9 but it was a pretty course. I would recommend but probably not until the grass starts coming in. Greens were in very good shape for winter
Beautiful and challenging
This is a great course for a good challenge. Well kept greens and beautiful scenery. Just have to watch out for rude players behind you! It was hard to relax enough to get part or under because the people behind us were pushing.
Good course
The course is nicely maintained. There a few holes with water on both sides of the fairway. The pace of play was well managed. I really enjoyed the round.

This course has it all: woods, water, sand, high rough. The Golf "gods" will take one if given the opportunity.
satisfied
Was delighted at the conditions and speeds of the greens. Young lady at pro shop check - in was professional and courteous.
Bad experience overall
We played the Friday after thanksgiving so we were prepared for a long day. It started when the pro shop clerk was not friendly and it only got worse from there. We were 15 minutes late teeing off. I expected that. Pace of play was slow. I expected that on a holiday Friday. What put this experience over the edge of unacceptable was the complete lack of a Marshall or a beverage cart. We finally saw the bev cart on 17 for the first time and she drove right past us like we werent there. I guess she figured we were almost done so we didn't need anything. I expect a course to be busy on a Thanksgiving Friday. The problem with this course is they must not have expected it and we're utterly unprepared. The greens keeper must have been in a bad mood too. Some of the hole placements were beyond unfair. Bad day all the way around.
Crowded & Slow
Beautiful fall day and the course was in decent shape but it took 2.5 hours to play the front 9 and was so backed up on the 10th hole I gave up even thinking about playing the back nine before dark. The Starter was not around and I never saw a Marshall so I packed my clubs and went home.
This course is challenging and a good time.
I enjoyed the challenge and lost three balls in the water.
Good Value - would play again
Nice layout. Course not very crowded for a mid-day Wednesday. Lakes Course was out of service for maintenance that day but Old Course still not crowded. Practice Facilities are very good - range, chipping/sand greens, putting greens.
Fairways / Tees in good shape. Greens in good shape and rolling true to a 11.5 stp. Balls in rough were tough to find due to height of grass
Good course - sorry customer service
- When I walked into the pro shop to pay the employee was sitting on a couch half asleep watching football
- took almost 20 minutes just to ring me up
- No cart lady/person.
- cart was very weak - needed to be charged
Good course for the price
Nice course for the price. Always seems to be in good condition.
Great but tough course!
Course is kept in great conditions - you have to keep the ball in the fairway - rough is very tough not only to hit out of, but also presents finding your ball, even very close to the fairway!
Lots of water
The scorecard does not depict all of the water and not being familiar with the course this made it even more difficult. A yardage book would have made it much more enjoyable.
fun to play. several challenging holes.
Fun to play since the second cut is at the correct height. Tee boxes need more water. Bermuda greens are in good shape and are flat at the holes so a good putt drops in. Had a great time and played in less than 4 hours. Looking forward to playing it again soon.
