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.

The overall course was in good shape!
The pin placements made it very difficult to score. The greens were fast, which I liked. But combining difficult pin placements with fast greens made the round unenjoyable. I missed several four to five foot downhill putts that ended up 10 to 12 feet past the hole. I have a 6.9 index, so I'm not a hack!
Good Shape
It was smokey but the weather was warm and the course was in good shape. I like the course I like the lay out and it was in good shape.
Always great
RedHawk rarely disappoints. New carts are very nice and staff was helpful.
Red Hawk - Lakes Course
Ccourse was in near flawless condition this morning. Grass was excellent both on the fairways and greens. Even the beverage cart was good. The only negative was that the group behind played a ball right into us. That's not the course's fault. However, the course marshall came around and we mentioned it. It didn't happen again. Kudos to Red Hawk personnel.
They charge you $20 to ride in a cart alone
They wait until after you check in and drive a cart all the way to their number one tee, that you have to ride with someone you don't know or have to pay an extra $20 to ride the cart you just drive all the way there. That is so underhanded. Your cart fee should be one per cart in COVID. Dirt bags forcing that at the last minute. I normally walk, had I known I would have taken my push cart.
Capitalizing on Covid
This is a decent course despite the fact that the staff are almost always rude. Their latest move during the pandemic is to force single players to share a cart with other singles that they don't know (they won't tell you until you're at the starter shack). They did just buy all new carts, which are nice (except for the lack of club/ball cleaner on cart), and they're obviously trying to recoup their investment quickly.
Overall, it's a fine place to play, unless you're a single golfer with concerns about Covid transmission.
Let there be lake
Great and fun course! Just shot my best round yet. Challenging and fun and everyone is super nice!
Red Hawk Lakes
Have been playing the course since it first opened. Almost always in excellent condition.
Monday Afternoon Quick Play
I was enjoying a hot smoky day on a good golf course after a tournament was completed. The smoke and heat made if somewhat undesirable but my play was good. A couple of groups allowed me to play through and so my pace of play was very good. Refreshment cart was appropriate and arrived at times when drinks and snacks were needed.
great experience
went out at 1:50 pm. Had the course to ourselves. Tons of fun very enjoyable light winds. Staff was very friendly.
The course is fine
The course is in good shape, it was fun but way too smokey to play.
Sand
The sand traps should just be marked as ground under repair. They are more like hard rock piles. Rest of the course is great.
