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.

Poor pace of play

Busy Friday after Thanksgiving and no sign of a Marshall. A slow twosome ruined the day for many many groups. Tee off time was mid morning so was shocked that there was not a Marshall keeping an eye on pace.

First Time Playing

A lot of folks would be irritated at the pass of play but for a public course on a Saturday afternoon you should expect it.

Greens are lost

The greens have huge patches of dead spots. They’ve really let this place go. It used to be one of my favorite courses in DFW, but it’s gone downhill severely.

My go to course

Always a great place to play for the money. Course is always in good shape, and the pace is fairly fast. 18 holes in just over 4 hours. I love this golf course. It’s challenging but yet easy enough if you’re an average golfer. Would definitely play anytime.

Great value

The course is a great value in DFW. However, the greens were having some issues, several bare spots on a few, and almost all of the had a severe weed issue. Fairways and boxes were fine,
