Great Value!

The course is finally starting to grow in and the course conditions are excellent. Give it a couple of weeks and it will be spot on. Challenging but fair golf course. However, no martial in sight for those slow play moments an you might see a cart girl once the entire round.

Crowd

We had a good day to play and enjoyed the course. Many of the tee boxes were dead and full of divets. The pace of play we waited at every tee box to tee off. There was a group of 7 men behind us playing together and they were not the hold up. It was all the hackers ahead of us. But a good value to play 18 with cart. Course needed a Marshall to move players along. We played the Lakes!

Great course, Great value

Very demanding from the back tees that you hit it straight. Water hazards are everywhere. Greens are not fast but not slow either. I'd say an 8or9? in good shape. Roll true. Ball holds the green nicely. Check ups on chip shots. Fairways are firm will get a ton of rollout. Highly recommend giving this course a chance. Bring an extra sleeve or two

Don’t bother

Played on Sunday 03/05 as a twosome and was paired with a man, his wife and 7 year old son…but that’s a whole other review.. back to the course, Don’t waste your time or money. Grass is non existent. The entire course was playing on hard pan clay. Pace of play was awful which was shocking since we teed off so early (7:30am). Round took 4 hours and 45 mins. No marshall.. no cart girl…

I honestly can’t believe courses are still charging full prices for these well below par golf courses.

Good Value

The Lakes @ Firewheel has always been a course that eats up my game if I'm not hitting it well because it's narrow in several spots and when it's windy it's even more tricky.

The course is in decent shape for February. Tee boxes are rock hard and fairways haven't greened up yet and there's mud and hardpan if you go wide of the rough, but the greens are receptive, smooth and roll true and the course, which has some pretty weird holes (#18 comes right to mind) presents a harder challenge than one would think at it's price point.

So it's good value for the area and the course difficulty and deserves a shot if you're hitting it straight and want to be challenged by some tough holes. And bring extra balls---there's LOTS of water on the Lakes @ Firewheel!
