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.

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.

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.
