Old at Firewheel Golf Park
Rating Snapshot
About
Firewheel is Texas’ most impressive example of municipal golf. Owned and operated by the city of Garland, and extremely popular because of the fair price and number of available golf holes, Firewheel now sports 63 holes since the new Bridges course opened in the past few years. All three tracks can be challenging because they each incorporate a variety of hazards into their designs, including limestone that is scattered throughout the property.
The Old Course, the traditional layout, was rated No. 1 by the Dallas Morning News. Water hazards come into play throughout the design, such as on hole #18, a 400-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot and an approach shot over the same creek, which winds through the hole. Hole 9 is the feature hole, a 552-yard par 5 that rolls downhill. The tee shot is into a narrow landing area carved out of trees, and on the approach you must be in perfect position because of the strategically placed pecan trees. Number 18 is challenging with both the tee shot and the approach over a creek that winds through the hole.

Great Experience!
My 14-yo grandson and his friend played this course for the first time. They really enjoyed the course. It was challenging, but great for young players.
Nice local course
Greens roll true and in decent shape. Wide fairways. Sand traps could use some new sand and more of it. A fair amount of water on the course but not much comes into play. Some tee boxes could use some TLC. Overall a good course, classic design, good pace of play (4 hr round) and good value for $22 with cart included.
Very friendly
It was our first time playing this course and the staff was very friendly.
It was a rainy day but we got to play almost the whole course. It started pouring down more rain and we had to leave.
Excellent customer service
I would like to thank Corey for the excellent customer service given
Always fun
The course was in great shape even after 2 straight weeks of rain. rain.
Fun round
Really like this course. Some difficult holes and some that you can attack. Plenty of room off the tee which I like. Greens were very smooth.
Always a good pace of play on weekend mornings.
Used to love this course
Grew up in the area and used to love this course, they do have three courses and it is possible that the other two are in better shape, but the Old Course was in pretty poor shape, fairways hard and cut to short, greens so hard they would not hold and yet still pitted very slow. Probably won’t book it again.
Nice course. Little pricey. Good practice facilities
In pretty good condition. Wish carts had GPS for price paid. Good practice facilities.
course very dry and no grass in a lot of areas. Greens where very slow, but overall very playable course.
Not too shabby
Solid layout and a great taste from the back tees. Only real complaint was the super slow greens. In great condition, but a little shaggy — likely because of the rainfall the day prior. Will certainly go back again to give it another shot.
Course was in excellent condition considering all the rain we've had. Greens are slow. Presently surprised.
