Lakes at Firewheel Golf Park
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.

Fun Course
With multiple good courses to choose from and in very good shape why not!
Great value
I played the lakes course. Nice track. Stay out of the rough and the greens are slow but overall a great deal for the price.
Watch out for the tall rough!!
Still great after all of these years. Very playable but still challenging. Greens were punched maybe 3-4 weeks ago. A little slow and bumpy but putt-able. Great fairways with thick rough if you stray too far but let's face it... you shouldn't be there and it's called rough for a reason!! Friendly staff and a great value. Been playing here for 29 years.
Greens are terrible! Pace of play very slow.
Greens are way below expectation. Very bumpyw and therefore very slow.
Pace of play close to 5 hours. Never saw a marshall the entire round!
What happened Firewheel????
Course Maintence
Fairway and greens were average. Course needed to be mowed in all areas.
average course
Lots of dog legs, narrow and plenty of hazards. If your not in the fairway the tall grass will eat you alive. That may explain why the group in front was taken a long time. Marshall was out there but didn't help much.
Irritated
I Paid for 4 players but my buddies could not come. Was paired with a grandpa and his 13 yr old grandson. Not sure either had ever played before. Both,either topped their ball 50 yards or hit it sideways. After 6 holes I left them behind and then had to follow 4 women who had never heard of playing through, no etiquette. The greens were very slow but the rest of the course was in good shape. They are rebuilding the driving range so the warm up area was a joke.
Fire wheel
Great course with mature trees, lots of sand & water challenges. Will play Firewheel again!
Nice conditions
Played Lakes Course for the first time. It was in really good condition probably due to the recent rain. Lots of trees and water on the course. Local knowledge or a good Golf GPS app is essential due to the water coming into play on tee shots. I got lazy on 18 and didn't check my Golf GPS app. I hit a good 4 iron off the tee that landed in water that I didn't know was there. I'll play this course again.
pace and condition
Marshalls nonexistent after 3pm....5 hour round. AM round was 4. Greens full but slow....maybe because it was Sundat.
Switched to Old Course
The Lakes Course was backed up so they sent us out on the Old Course. The front nine was much better than the back as far as greens went with the 18th being a sand dune more than a green. The course has many switch backs and a clientele that makes finding your ball tough but it's much better than courses that use suburbia as the rough like Plantation. Good course for the price.
I t was a nice round.
Played such a good condition course with nice price from Golf now hot deal.
the lakes
Course was in great shape. Greens played terrific. Los of people on the course and still finished in 4 hours. Range under construction and could not locate a warm-up chipping area. Has a good time and will certainly go back.
Nice Layout
Really enjoyed the golf. Although the course is not in the best shape the layout was good and overall the experience was very good. Staff is great!
Very good course
Very good course I would play it at anytime.
Thanks for the golf now discount it gave the opportunity so I can play.
Tuff course.
Good but tuff course. The greens were in great shape. The fairways are in fairly good shape also.
Great course
Firewheel Lakes course is an excellent golf course and is in very good condition for this time of year. The greens were fast and smooth and you had to hit the ball in the in the fairway to have a chance at a good score. Lots of water and traps.
Firewheel The Lakes Aril 2014
No clubhouse at turn, several fairways under repair
Fun course, needs water
Greens were in good shape.
Fairways need more water. too many hard pans, just dirt
Cargirl was no where to be seen.
Challenging course, always a fun round
Challenging layout with lots of water and a few blind tee shots. This course is in good shape for early Spring. There is some construction on the driving range and near some of the holes. Pace of play is usually pretty good since they have 3 courses at Firewheel. I played as a single and finished in 3 hours.
