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.

Great course
Great course, very difficult but fun. A lot of water and large bunkers.
Not bad for the shape it is in.
Firewheel lakes course is a nice course but they are doing some up grades, so it is a little bit of a mess in some ares. I hope it is completed soon. The most frustrating thing about the course is the lack of yardage markers.
Firewheel Lakes Review
Course was in good shape on the tee boxes and greens.
There were several holes that fairway and greenside bunkers were under repair. There was no mention of this repair work when I checked in at the clubhouse. I had a great Hot Deal price on a Monday afternoon so I got a fantastic value. If I had paid full price for a round with the in progress bunker work I would have been a bit annoyed.
Over booked tee times and a lot of construction obsticles
The course was over booked and we were 25-30 minutes late getting off the 1st tee. Very frustrating that the course was under construction. LARGE mounds of dirt dumped in the middle of a fairway & no sand in the bunkers added to the frustration. Once everything in complete it will be nice, but currently not worth the green fees
The lakes
I play here more often than any other course in the area. The courses are challenging yet reasonably priced.
Great layout, always a fun course to play!
Played the Lakes Course with two buddies Friday, Fairways, Tee boxes were perfect. However, there were a few caveats, greens had recently been punched so putting was rather tedious, and the bunkers are all under repair. I would definitely play here again, maybe wait a few months though.
This course is not in good condition
When I called to tell them we were going to be a little late, I was told they were short on golf carts anyway. When we got there, they accommodated us with a later tee time and there were a few golf carts available. Play was very slow on the front 9 but sped up on the back 9. Fairways were not in good condition. Greens were so-so. Sand traps were under major maintenance. They were putting in drainage systems, and balls were getting caught beneath the pipes. At the turn, we asked where the cart girls were and were told "We sent her home." This made no sense, as there were plenty of people out on the course. This was the Lakes Course, the others might be in better condition. We were so turned off by the whole situation, that we probably won't return to Firewheel for a while.
Great bang for the buck
I played the Lakes course. Fun, interesting, and pretty course. Only complaint is that they are installing new bunkers. But, that is temporary and should be done soon. Nice layout, a lot of water hazards along the fairways, but no crazy long forced carries over water. I have also payed the Bridges course, and though nicer, I think Lakes is a better value. Great pace of play both times I have played at Firewheel.
The greens were in great shape!
The fairways and greens were in great shape! You can tell that they were well watered! We plan on playing this course again in the near future!
Loved the course layout
Very positive experience. Three things prevented an excellent rating.
1. Tremendous amount of work going on. (bunkers, etc.)
2. No marshalls in sight. As a result, several holes with long waits with 3 groups on one hole.
3. 100 degree day, with no cart girls at all.
The course has a nice layout.
There is water on numerous holes. But a well placed shot keeps you dry!
Daunting course, in very good shape except for bunkers (being repaired)
This course may be among the top 5 hardest courses in the area; so be kind to yourself when selecting which tees to play from. Back 9 is pure murder, with 14-16 providing the only relief. Greenside bunkers were being repaired today so I had to take relief twice.
Firewheel Lake Course
Nice place to have Golf game, but a little slow, but enjoyable.
It is a good course
The green is great but speed is little slow. The hazard is very challenge.
Tests your management
First time for me to see and play this course, what a test! This course will test your shot making/ execution abilities a must play for those who want a challenge.
Could be better
There are a few rough spots on the fairways within 100 yards of the green, hopefully this will improve before it gets too hot for the grass to grow.
Greens were very good. If they would cut a little lower, they would be excellent but I would give 4 stars compared to other courses in the area.
If greens would be cut a little lower, they would be excellent but I would give 4 stars compared to other courses in the area. Fairways just punched but very playable. This will help them from being baked and firm later in the summer. I love the challenge to this course. Smallish greens and all on plateaus. Better be accurate as missed greens bring on many bogeys.
