Type Public/Municipal

Length 7134 yards
Slope 139
Rating 75.5
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 play!
Been playing here for a couple of years now, luv the layout of the Lakes. They could space out the groups playing and not stack everyone so close but it is what it is. I'll be back on the next warm weekend as always!!

Enjoyed the course. it started out a little chilly, but warmed up nicely.
Fairways and greens were in very good condition. I personally have played better, but the course was not to blame.

Cant beat it for the price
Course in great shape. Pace was great on a Friday. Greens very good!
No beverage cart, which seems to be the norm these days. That would have been nice.
