Bridges Course needs updating
We played Firewheel because we heard that the course had been renovated. Apparently, that work happened on the Old Course or the Lakes. The Bridges is still pretty rough. Perhaps, Bridges is next on the list. Not a bad layout.

Crab grass on the greens but good sand in the bunkers
Crab grass in the greens made for some inconsistency putting. Bunkers were pretty good to play out of.

Generally poor.
Just not up to par. No staff for 5 minutes at check in, no direction for first time player as to starting hole location or multi course (9’s) layout. Course not in good condition the box’s and greens and overall despite dormant season plenty could have been done to show care that has not been. Inexpensive for a reason and will not play again unfortunately.

Great shape considering how hot it has been
Pace of play was great. Foursome played in 3 hours and 35 minutes.
Only negative was the cracks in the fairway. Most every course has them.

Sandy course but fun to play
The course has tons of bunkers that can ruin decent drives but overall the course plays to your advantage if you have fades or draws. Lots of doglegs and fun par 3s.
