The Lakes Course at Red Hawk

The old man starter is miserable. Never friendly. No one will tell you about any type of course conditions. Greens had recently been punched. Would have been nice to know. Absurdly overpriced course for what you get. I am excited for when they tear it down and build houses on the course

The fact that this course charges well over $100 (almost $200!in peak season) is laughable. The conditions reflect a $60 course and that is being very generous. The bunkers are basically concrete with rocks and weeds. The starter is miserable and would be better suited working at the DMV. To any out of towners, take this advice from a local that plays multiple times a week: spend your money on another course. Lakeridge is less money and in 10x better shape. Even the munis like Washoe and Sierra Sage are in better shape, not to mention their staffs are much friendlier. Right now you can literally play Grizzly Ranch for the same price, which is a premium nationally ranked course

I played Hills a couple of weeks ago and wanted to give Lakes a try. It was a fun course. Like Hills, you could hit your driver on almost every par 4 and par 5. I hit my driver a lot better on the Hills course then I did on the Lakes course...but that's another story. A lot of dogleg right holes on Lakes but you need to carry water or hit it straight to get to fairway. Conditions around the greens were not the best and the bunkers were not in the best shape. Greens are large and for the most part easy to read. Both courses get expensive and IMO are not worth the full rake rate, if you get a GolfNow deal or some other deal these are good tracks to play. Prostaff, starter, marshall and cart guys are professional.

The starter was a grumpy old bugger, when I approached and asked how it was going he responded “busy” as if I was bothering him. The young lady on the beverage cart on the other hand was exceptionally gracious and even requested to stay late to make sure she was able to offer us another round on the back nine. Overall it was a nice day and I’ll likely be back.

I will start by saying this is always a nice place to play, maintenance is always good and staff are friendly. That being said, it is about $20 over similar courses to play here so we don't play here as much as other courses. Also the gps on the carts are quite annoying as you have to constantly mess with the screen because there are constant warnings or ads on the screen so you cannot seen the course you are playing unless you clear the ads or pop ups. Other than that it is a great place to golf.

When we arrived, there was a men's league tournament, and a massive shot gun start that was NOT mentioned when I booked! Had I known that I would have selected a different tee time. It was backed up, people hitting into us, one group just drove by and played in front of us, causing an even bigger back up! Super frustrating! We also were shuttled from the parking area to the driving range. We couldn't bring our own cart- thus leaving our bags behind. Lame.

A bunch of water , many wetlands . Lost a lot of balls . It is a fun course . We got a good deal .

Played in the afternoon and the pace of play was slow. Almost did not finish the round due to other groups of players cutting in front of my foursome as the sun started to set. Did not see a marshal after 5pm on the course to help regulate the pace of play causing several minutes of delay on the last five holes.

The 1st tee and Pro Shop are located about 1/4 mile from cart pickup. Conversely the 18th hole ends the same 1/4 mile from the Pro Shop & 1st tee.

Fantastic course, greens were in exceedingly excellent condition and overall had a great time!

Grass was only in okay condition and we’re barely even into the heat of summer yet. Sand traps were in horrible condition.. I’m talking worse than $30 Sierra Sage. Three of the five employees we came into contact with had horrible attitudes- the only cool folks were the marshal and the cart girl. The pro shop attendant, starter and bartender were all complete a-holes. We were also stuck behind an unannounced women’s tournament that took nearly SIX HOURS to finish 18. Rather than paying $120 per round for this nonsense we’ll gladly never come back and instead get two or three wonderful rounds at Sage, Washoe County or Sun Ridge, all of which are just as nice and have gas carts with far more comfortable seats. This place is insanely priced for no reason to speak of. One and done

Read some reviews and should have headed the warning : the bunkers are a joke . I guess you'll be ok if you never hit a fairway or greenside bunker .

Fairways sketchy. The greens were in great shape. Would have been extremely disappointed if we had payed their normal peak green fees.

This course is fine, but they're charging way too much for it. Hence all the open tee times compared to Duncan courses. Course is in reasonable shape and pace of play is ok, but for $100+, I'd rather go play Whitehawk or Grizzly Ranch. If you can get on this course for $80, it's fine, but it's not worth what they're currently charging.

The course for middle of June in Reno was outstanding. Water hazards are full and beautiful. The sandtraps could use a little work but maybe that's because I was in them all day. Overall, great experience all around!
