Entirely too dry

It has been many years since I last played this course and it may have been that long since it was watered. The fairways were so hard and dry that it was no benefit to hit into them. Not interested in playing it again anytime soon.

Out of Control

No Starter might cause the turmoil? Usually the starter controlled but somehow there was no Starter and 2 players sum waited a single player sum ahead and mannerless players didn't let join for faster play. So it took over 5 hours! Combination of lack of field control and some players of courtesy less made the worst course.

Firewheel Old Course

WE had ideal weather for February 1st. However, the conditions were not as good as the Golf Now website indicated. The fairways were quite bare in spots, and the ground was pretty hard, so it made the clubs very unforgiving. The green were quite fast, so it too made putting a little getting used to conditions.
It's February in Dallas, TX, so I feel fortunate we have playable conditions, so I'm grateful

No Control

I played here quite often about a year. But last time there was no starter and perhaps due to that my front was two people but just one was playing and his front sum was 2. I know because from 1st hole, I waited quite a while watching my front cart waiting middle of the fairway his front on green. When I went to 2nd hole, my front guy didn’t offer me to join and just complained his front sum’s slowness. I skipped 2nd to join the 2nd front two who suggested their front sum of 3 who reluctantly let me join after skipping two holes. Took almost 5 hours. I will never return to the course.

Sad

If you like dirt and sand in the fairway and on the tee boxes then this is the place for you. Used to be a good course many years ago. Looks like most of the upkeep goes to Lakes or Bridges. Not sure why greens fees are the same for this course. Should be half what we paid.

Great history, but lacking presently

Greens reasonable for the winter. Fairways were horrible. Many without any grass at all. Have to master hard pan off dirt approach shots. Clubhouse under construction.

Good option

Very good value for money and the course was maintained well. Greens were in good shape and fairways were mostly well groomed. Not overly challenging and a good layout.
