The Lakes Course at Red Hawk
Rating Snapshot
About
The Lakes Course at the Resort at Red Hawk is a Robert Trent Jones masterpiece that has helped vault Reno and the High Sierra into the upper echelon of West Coast golf destinations. Named the best daily fee golf experience by readers of the <em>Reno-Gazette Journal</em>, the Hills Course is a challenge not to be missed.
Playing to more than 7,100 yards from the tips, the Lakes Course is a haven for big hitters who love dangerous risk-reward opportunities, as well as for players who thrive on accuracy in their golf game. More than 100 bunkers challenge golfers, as do a plethora of trees and water hazards that both add to the aesthetics of the course, and the difficulty.
Along with its sister, the Hills Course, the Lakes Course has helped the Resort at Red Hawk become synonymous with stellar golf action and excellent service.

Fair and challenging
Fairways and greens are in very good condition. Fast greens with some encroaching by differing grass types. A few tee boxes need improvement. Bunkers need care. Sand and weeds were apparent. Overall, the best course we played over 3 days.
Nice green!
GHIN tee colors do not match what is seen on the course. There are no red tees.
Great venue
Great staff. Course is in good shape. Solid bar and clubhouse.
No Rangers to push Play
5.5 hours to play a round of golf is just sinful.. the course was in great shape, staff was friendly but we had a foursome in front of us(5 actually is you count the drunk woman bragging about driving the golf cart drunk)
This, in my opinion, is one of the better courses in the area but it needs Rangers!!
I’ll definitely play again and hopefully the drinkers will find a more appropriate place to get lit up!
Bunkers were hard and crusty but course overall was good
Good
I played badly on a beautiful day, with my friends. Lost little money, couldn't think of anyone I'd rather give it to.The course is in good shape, the weather is good come out and play.
Good
Good friends ,nice day and only a little windy at the end.It was the Lakes at Red Hawk. Very nice day in ok shape for this time of year the greens had been done maybe 2 weeks ago. They were coming back should be real good next week.The wind came up on around the 15 hole so the 17th was a lot of carry to get over the lake. All and all a good day with my buddies.
Excellent course
Red Hawk to me is the best course in Reno/Sparks area for sure! Great course!
Expensive for spring golf
Would have paid $20 or $40 more for better course in Portal or Clio. First hole, bunkers were filled with water and ponds around course looked parched. Golf carts are better than most courses in Reno.
Two golf courses at one location
We played the Lakes course as the Hills course was closed, not sure why. They are also working on the driving range, so only a few spots on mats were available for warm up. Good putting and chipping area. It's early in the season, but course is green already and in decent shape.
Husband always complains when the pre-programmed carts instruct you to stay 30 feet from the green and stop working even though you are still 30 or more yards from the green. It is annoying.
Apres golf, visit the clubhouse bar and David's Grill, you won't be disappointed.
Great course. Slow play.
I hate having to whine to the pro-shop about slow play, but we were behind a pathetically slow group who didn't allow us to play through. Called the pro shop and they asked the four stooges to speed up at the turn. They didn't. Took 5 hours to play! To add insult, an apparel cop gave me grief for not having a collared shirt AFTER our round and AFTER turning in my cart. I explained that I removed my collared shirt at the end of the round. No apology. Really? All other staff were great. Otherwise, a great course with nice amenities. Upon check-in, inform players that golf is a 4-hour game MAX and to be courteous and respectful to others by getting out of the way.
Very Good Course
Very nice layout, in excellent condition, but needs some yardage markers.
