Old at Firewheel Golf Park

Great morning of golf. Got paired up with a couple of old timers and enjoyed their course knowledge especially since it was my first time playing the course. Water was in play on 16 holes, but with selective placement, the course is manageable. They were doing construction on all of the bunkers, but still had an enjoyable round. Looking forward to playing here again.

Was twenty minutes late getting off of pre-booked tee time.
Pace was slow as locals booked several tee times for their money tourney. (They played next to the back tees and had no business playing from those tees. No marshall showed up on course to ask about play or encourage groups to speed up.

None of the bunkers had sand in them. They are obviously working on them and will probably be very nice, however no one ever mentioned this to us. Not on Golfnow or when we checked in. Not a good way to treat customers. Especially with so many courses in the area to play.

I have always liked the layout of the Old Course but the conditions have never been great. This time was no different. There were many areas that were soggy from drainage issues and problems with the irrigation system. Even though the greens were very slow due to rain the night before and not being cut, the greens were actually in the best shape that I have ever seen them except for 3 or 4 that had large areas of sod to repair damage. So I give them credit here. But the fairways and rough were in poor shape, especially considering that we have had recently ideal growing conditions in DFW. Every other course I have played lately is in superb condition. If you don't mind sub-par conditions, the layout o this course is pretty good with rolling terrain and lots of big trees. It is not too tough except for 9 and 18 which are very strong holes.

I got there an hour early - checked it and, since the course was clear, they sent me out. Happened to play on ladies day, and the ladies were finishing up - Had the course to myself.
Very interesting, challenging golf holes - fairways wide enough to hit, big bunkers around most greens, and well maintained, smooth running greens.
I liked this course far and away better than the Lakes (sister Firewheel course) - much more playable and not as narrow.When I made the turn, there was a backup on the Champions (where I was supposed to go) - so I suggested to the starter I could play the traditions since I was a single - very nice and said OK.
I had a good time there and will go back.

Soon as they're through with the upgrades I will go back. It's a great challenge for any type golfer.....

Staff was very friendly/helpful when we were late for our time. Course in excellent condition. Few slow groups, we got through them generally.

The course is great for the money great people good staff.

This is part of the trilogy know as Firewheel - The Old Course was a fun track, plenty of challenge without penalizing for straying off the fairway too much. I found it a fun trek, definitely friendly on the ego. Because of the spring showers the course was in really nice shape.. go out and enjoy!

Greens are in great shape. Morning we played, the first cut had not been mowed for several days and lost balls twice just off the fairway.

First time on this course. Good value for the money and nice layout. Will return.

after playing the old course at firewheel this last tuesday morning i was not pleased at all with what a friend and i were playing. We like to play from the tips on such a short course yet none of the back tee boxes were mowed in any way. At least three inches of grass to try and hit your shot in on a par 3 is not what im expecting when going to play golf. i can get through that though, but to add on every single bunker we were in was hard clay or there were puddles of water in the middle where proper water SHOULD be. i have played here before and it isnt a great course but yesterday was just terrible. Nothing was mowed and it made for a not so fun day because the second cut was weeds that were 4 inches long.

Course was in good shape and the greens rolled nicely but a bit slow outside of a very few trouble spots. Fairways were long but undoubtedly due to recent rains.
The only complaint I have is the ridiculous pace of play--5+ hours with no marshal anywhere to be found. Several fivesomes out on a holiday weekend.

Greens were fairlt simple with very few slopes. Very good shape. Course drainage after heavy rains over previos days was impressive.

The Firewheel Old Course has been a favorite of mine for 25+ years. The greens are in good shape. The fairways are not pristine like some very high end courses, but they are maintained. The layout of this course makes it a really fun course to play!

Course is in good shape. Greens are soft and roll well. Fairways are soft. Overall the course is green and watered well. Tee boxes are level.

Tough course off the tee box since theyre are so many fairway bunkers and water hazards. But the greens were in great shape as were the fairways. The bunkers were pretty awful though.

Late morning round on a Friday. Great pace until slight backup at the 17th.
Fairways and greens in excellent condition. Not that I was there often (wink), but the out-of-bounds areas seemed to have been groomed recently too. Easy to find balls that "took a bad bounce".
Very good value and will return soon.

The Olde Course is a nice municipal course with some pretty spots, but it appears the course is in a low lying area that floods during major rain storms because the course is littered with branches and debris from the creeks and ponds. Some holes have rough patches with no grass and hole #10 has a make shift bridge across the river that is pretty sad. I am glad I paid less than $25.

the lakes course at firewheel definitely has some challenges.
from short par 4's with doglegs and water, to wind swirling long par 3's, to really tough tee shots on par 5's, like I said, it has some challenges. greens are decent to good, they roll well, but maybe don't have the appearance of "country club". great value for a tough public course.
