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
Nice Option
I like this course. It is "old", and I like the 'old' designs. I love having a shot into a Par 4, but because I blocked it to the right, I now have to navigate around 1 lone tree, which guards the front right of the green.
The pace was extremely slow; but that's "par for the course" at these rates, and on a Sunday afternoon.
There are 45 other holes at this complex, so this course is at the bottom of the totem pole, esp. for cart girl coverage. We saw her once in 5 hours.
Had fun
Course was a little rough condition wise but very playable. Greens were ok,. Played on a Sat at 12:45, and our 4some of avg golfers never waited or was pushed from behind. $29 ea was fair. Staff very friendly.
Best place to play
So I can let you know that I had a great time at the Firewheel Golf Course all three courses are in excellent condition the staff is very friendly the service is great I just don't know how to put this but if you want to have a good time and play come to Firewheel
Great Value
Nice course that was well maintained except the bunkers were basically unusable. The pace was also relatively slow, especially for a weekday.
Nice course
Even after a hot summer the course was in great shape
Fairways were winter condition. Dryed out and hard. Better to be in the rough.
Not sure if they hate golf now peeps. But the service was the worst I have experienced in the DFW area. Don't want to go into it but if you can avoid this place I would. They feel they are special but give me a break the qplace is barely hanging on.
Bunkers are mud
This is a good course that has its moments but the bunkers are brutal. In most cases the bunkers are down to rock hard dirt or they have massive man made holes in them. I don't understand why the city can keep the bunkers on the lakes and bridges course in such great shape but wont put good sand in the old course.
Pace of play was great and the staff was very nice. The greens were fast but true and other than the bunkers I have no complaints.
Great Course
First time playing since I moved to Texas about 4 months ago. Great course, great, fun layout. The greens were a little hard and the bunkers were unplayable due to the heavy rain the day before. I will definitely play the course again and will be trying the lakes and bridges courses as well. This will more than likely be my go to course.
