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.

Great Golf Course

This two courses are always fun and challenging. It can get windy at times which makes it a little more challenging. The Hills course may be a little easier than the Lakes but I recommend playing both. These are my go to courses when visiting Reno.

Winter golf

While the layout is good, the policy of keeping golf carts on the path at all times throughout the entire course, becomes extremely tiresome. It also slows down play. It took 5 hours and 20 minutes for an 18 hole round. As a senior golfer, I would not recommend this course, until spring/summer, when carts are allowed near where the ball lands.

Course could use some work.

Course is definitely showing winter problems.

The staff is great. The greens look like they were just punched and sanded, making putting very inconsistent.

Cart Paths only

I saw no reason for paths only, the course was not wet. It made for a long day with a lot of long walks.

The course itself is nice with a nice layout but paths only made it very tough to play. I won’t play there again until you can drive on the course.

Winter at Redhawk

Through Golfnow, price was much better. Redhawk winter rate was $65 on a Saturday. Terrible. Paid $48 through Golfnow. Double stacked shotgun start made pace of play long. No carts on fairways was a pain too. Prices seem to be on the climb in the area. Golfnow makes it less painful!

Winter conditions

Greens were recently plugged, looks like most of them have some kind of mold/patchy. Cart path only. Fairways are in solid shape for winter. Cruised through the front 9 in less than 2 hours then it was clogged up on the back, 5 some playing in front of us. Would be nice if courses dropped the rates some for the funky greens

Cart path only.

Courses should let us know that its cart path only before we book a tee time. Pace of play was so slow because of this. It would have been faster to walk and play with a pull cart.

Shotgun

Didn't know it was going to be shotgun. All teed off at 10:30. No horn to start play and it caused a huge backlog. Players behind us were rude and did not know golf etiquette. When on the tee box they would roll on up while you're swinging and talking. I'm not great but it did mess my round up. Could have broke 80 if it wasn't for those clowns.

Okayest

It was fine, it was Red Hawk I like the course. The weather looked like rain all day and never did. It was a little bit cold ,but okay. Little bit cloudy, but okay. It was really calm no wind, no one behind or infront of us. It's golf, it's November, it"s okay.
