Lakes at Firewheel Golf Park
Rating Snapshot
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 and great value.
Greens were well kept, course was well maintained, and pace of play was decent. Freewheel has 3 different courses and is one of the best public courses in North Texas.
Greens are good.
Slightly biased review as this is my home course. However, that said it’s a fun course. The greens are in really good shape. The fairways are hard so you’ll get plenty of rollout. So, if you’re looking for a confidence booster and a low score then I’d highly recommend.
Great layout
Course was it great condition considering the extreme heat.
Good course but not worth the money
Greens were very slow and patchy. Very narrow course at times but that can add or takeaway based on the golfer. The layout is a little confusing as well, I doubled back a lot to find the right way. Thank goodness people let me play through because the pace of play was horrendous. Overall a somewhat pretty course that’s narrow, has slow patchy greens, and a confusing layout. I wouldn’t play here unless there’s a tee time under $30.
course requires ball placement and stategies
Always enjoy playing the Lakes course, it offers variety of challenges.
Good Course but lacking maintenance
many grassless patches on the fairways, greens very slow,
Nice layout. Good conditions
I haven't been to FW-The Lakes in a very long time but we had a great time. Course was in good shape and the layout was fun. The round took longer than we wanted but we will go back.
Good Value
This was an upgrade in condition over Duck Creek, Riverchase and even Waterview, which is better than the previous two. It was in good shape for a public course. No complaints.
Jeff the Gatekeeper
Steer clear of Firewheel, at least the old/lakes side, unless you enjoy being treated like a piece of trash. One of the pro shop guys, think his name is Jeff, should be ashamed of his behavior. His actions reflect poorly on the entire establishment and leave a lasting impression of hostility and disrespect. He was definitely on some sort of stimulant. But, it was clear as day that he's less interested in assisting customers, and more interested in flexing his authority. You work at firewheel buddy. This isn't life or death.
