Old at Firewheel Golf Park

I enjoy playing this course. The greens are good and are fast. The fairways do not have a lot of grass which is similar to a lot of the area courses. The bunkers were wet and need attention and sand added. A nice layout. It was priced right at the GolfNow Hot Deal rate.

The olde course at Firewheel is a hidden gem that all players of all abilities can enjoy. The former venue for the PGA Tour school and multiple Texas State Opens in the 90's, the wheel is a course everyone in DFW should play.

Played the course a few days after it rained and it did not drain well. Still early spring but maintenance could be better. They shouldn't have rebar in front of a sand trap! Cant understand why it was there. Greens need alit of work. Very beat up. But for 20 bucks it was a good practice round.

We played after a week of rain. Can’t wait to play it again under better conditions.

The course was fairly well maintained during the winter. Greens were in fairly good shape. Bunkers had very little sand on some holes. I enjoy this course, but did not enjoy the day-25 mph winds with higher gusts. This is a good value venue along with the Lakes.

I went to golf course but golf course was closed due to freeze.

Many people were same situation as me.

Golf course should announce in advance.

The weather turned into horrible (wind:gust 45mi/hr, temperature: went down to lower thirties) so we had to give up at 11th. I wasn't sure I can cancel the tee time for this kind of reason.

I'll check the weather really tight next time before decide to buy the tee time.

We played on a day when the wind was blowing and it was cold and slight drizzle. However, the course was in great shape for this time of year and the greens were excellent and rolled pure. Our foursome played in 3.5 hours and was never in a hurry or was hurried. Staff is always great and friendly. I will be back to play again.

The after 2pm rate at Firewheel on GolfNow is the best deal in DFW golf. The course is always in great shape, the course never seems to be too crowded, and there are some really fun holes.

I started playing this course in the 90's and the course was always in great shape. I moved and stopped playing for about 13 years. I recently got back into the game and play once a week sometimes 2. This course has a great layout and is fun to play but the management of the course is horrible. Tee boxes are hard as a rock and need to be watered and fertilized. The sand traps are rock hard. like concrete. literally no sand in them. several have been under repair for months. Whats more frustrating is that they have sand in a pit next to the 17th green. Both the Lakes course and the Bridges have great bunkers with plenty of sand in them. This needs to be taken care of by management.

GREAT day that started off fine. Played as a 2-some. Nice couple let us play through on 7 but when we hit 10, it was a constant wait. Actually paired up with the two in front of us but still horribly slow. Foursome of older gentlemen in front of us seemed to be in their own world when on the green. At the par 3 15th, we waited with the 2-some behind us as well they had everything backed up so badly. Marshall finally came around when we were on 18....about 8 holes too late.

Fairway grass was fine considering the season but leaves everywhere. Lost several balls on the fairway due to the leaves. Go OOB....forget it, just drop and keep going. Bunkers were HORRIBLE. Some were under construction, those that were not consisted of a quarter inch of packed sand over hardpacked mud. You could literally walk across the sand and not see any footprints. Ridiculous. On the other hand, the greens were really good, especially for December. Plugs for moved cup locations were done sloppily though as I hit two that dramatically altered my ball path.

Pretty basic course but much better than a regular muni course, and with some challenging areas. Have played Lakes also and will probably be back, but not on a weekend and not until next spring/summer so the leaves will not be an issue and they have time to fix the bunkers. Staff was nice as well.

Without wind, this course has very little defense, other than my lack of ability. The greens were really good. They held a good approach shot and rolled true - for the most part. Hot dogs were better than most municipal dogs. BUT the bunkers were more like hard pan with a raised rim around it. That's why I rated the course conditions as fair. Never saw a Marshall. The twosome was slower than our foursome, but wouldn't let us play through.

The Old Course is a good value for the money considering what other courses charge.

The review title is something one our group's caddies said during a round at Carnoustie many years ago and it certainly applied the day we played the Old Course at Firewheel. Course conditions were very good and the green speed not overwhelming. Pace of play was very good especially for a weekend. We finished our round in four hours. Water comes into play on several holes and position off the tee is important to being able to approach the flag. We did not play from the tips and I would suggest only the most advanced players take that option. The staff in the shop was very professional and friendly. I will definitely play this course again.
