Great Course for the money

Firewheel Old Course is celebrating its 40th anniversary and despite its age it still plays well. 10 years ago this course was rough and needed a ton of TLC and I am happy to report it has gotten it. The maintenance staff is doing a fantastic job repairing and reseeding tee boxes. They are taking out trees that have died and blown over it really is a good course and I prefer it to the Lakes course next door. The staff at the course is friendly and kind in my mind they really help make the experience great. I would recommend this course to anyone.

Bring 2 pairs of shoes

This place loves making you play in the mud even on sunny weeks. This is by far the muddiest course in DFW. Bring plenty of towels!
