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 shape
in great shape considering all the rain/wind and now heat we're having.
greens were firm, in good shape but weirdly were slower than they looked.
played in 4:19
Amazing course
This course was awesome I would play this course again no problem!! I can’t wait to get back out on this course. Greens were great fairways were great layout was fun and challenging!
Good for the price
43$ after tax for a 11:00 tee time on a weekday is about what I expected, maybe cheaper. Greens in good condition, layout always great, some damage along a few fringes. Overall good time. 4 hours pace of play
Moved Us To Old Course - Their Own Problem
For the money, your courses are in great shape. However, my issue is with management. We booked the Lakes course as I like it better and heard it was in phenomenal shape. When we arrived, the young man at the counter apologized and said they double booked and we moved to the Old Course. It wasn't his fault, that's managements. HOW do you mess this up? It seemed like they had a tournament or something but the Lakes course had very few people on if any. When you make a mistake in business, you suffer. Don't let the paying customer suffer. Figure it out.
Phenomenal Golf Course
This course was awesome. Very fun and great layout! I would play this course again 100% and will play this course again!
Always a great course
I'm always impressed when I bring my group down to play at any of the two courses there. Thank you for always making it worth coming down.
Best Course for Value
Course is $31 after 3:00 and it’s in great shape for the price. Challenging layout, but fun to play. Bunkers need a little work, but I think that’s from all the rain we’ve had recently. Overall great course. 4.2/5
Very slow pace
We started at 1:30PM and we did finish at 6:30PM, we had three groups in front of us playing very very slow, seems like they feel they were the owners of the course. Last few times I played here I ended up spending way more than 5 hours for 18 holes. I love the course but it's really hard for me spending more time waiting than playing, I hope they pay more attention to the people playing so game becomes more enjoyable for all of us and not just for some few.
Solid holiday golfing
Course was in very good shape and barely running behind on the holiday weekend.
Decent local option
Course overall is in great shape right now. Had a a 4:35pm tee time with 10 minute intervals. Course was backed up pretty bad from the beginning, there wasn’t a starter or a marshal in sight. Ended up waiting behind 2 groups on pretty much every tee box and the round took roughly 4:15. I’ll still frequent this course but will be more mindful of the time chosen.
Green is in very good condition.
The green condition is much better than other golf courses.
Great Value And Awesome Staff
This course was in remarkable shape given the crazy weather conditions the last few years. A few greens need work around the fringe, but thats easily solved by a player improving their iron and wedge accuracy, lol!
The staff was awesome (as always) and the clubhouse is open after the refurbishment. They make a great breakfast sandwich as well!
Bang for your buck
Course was in great shape for the price. Has been tough with flooding in areas, but fairways and greens are in great shape. Tee boxes varied, but decent overall. Greens rolled very well.
