Old at Firewheel Golf Park
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.

Golfer Reviews
Save your money..
The pace was glacial, the greens were terrible. Marshals were non-existant, and when they were available, were worthless. Even the fairways were basically dirt. I'd avoid this track.
Ouch
I’ve played this course quite a bit. It’s in really bad condition right now. Will not play again unless I hear it’s improved drastically.
Turtle play
We started 30 minutes after our scheduled tee time. It took almost 3 hours to play 9 holes. My partner and I left after 9 holes. The pace was ridiculous.
Great Value!
Today was my first time playing the Old Course. Other than a few soggy spots on the fairways from sprinklers the course was in great shape. The greens all rolled great and none were fried yet. It could use a few more yardage markers, mainly ones indicating distances to water, sand, or turns on certain holes. Pace was on the slow side, about 5 hours. Mostly due to everyone cramming in early to beat some of the heat, but not crowded enough to be frustrating or anything like that.
But for the price it’s tough to beat. Friendly staff, good course conditions, fresh water every few holes. Will definitely be back.
If only I could rate 4.5 stars
This golf course is a great little track. It has very nice greens and has some slight elevation change. There are plenty of tree lined holes (number 9 long par 5 with danger left and right and a forced layup to avoid waste area). It is also a great price.
hard to believe
hard to believe that so many people want to play this course that the pace would be as slow as it was considering the course conditions. But that was the case, as two hours into the front I was obliged skip four holes and play the back. The greens are horrendous the grounds crew oblivious and in general not a place to which I will return.
