Good Day of Golf

Course was in great shape. Only issue was pace of play. The group in front of us was three holes behind the group in front of them. It was frustrating. Would be nice to see a Marshall pushing people to pick up pace. Otherwise it was a great day with perfect weather.

Very nice course not such a good weather day

I thoroughly enjoyed playing fire wheel Lakes course. They had a tournament there earlier in the day, and the weather got very cloudy and rained some. I enjoyed the layout of the course the greens were in good condition. The fairways were in good condition as well, and it was just a lot of fun other than the weather issues.

Good looking course!

This course was super fun and great to play at! However play felt super slowed down due to pace of play. At one point there was 5 groups playing on a single hole!! Aside from that the staff was friendly and nice! Would recommend playing here 100%.

Best bang for your buck

Firewheel is a f-ing gem. The old course is great if you want something open but still challenging, and the lakes course is a toughie that plays amazingly. All in all, the lakes is one of my fav courses to play, it's difficult but one of the most fun courses in the area. For the price, you just can't beat it. Tee boxes are fine, fairways and greens may have some half spots but nothing that ruins the match.

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
