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.

Hills
Staff is very friendly. I was given a choice to play the Hills side. It was a nice layout. The greens were a bit bumpy but overall in good shape. The only complaint I had was no Marshall to keep folks going on back side. Painful group in front of us.
Great Course with Great Staff
Not a fan of the Covid Rules here but I am a fan of cleanliness. Carts, Clubhouse, Course, etc were all very clean. I didn’t like the fact you can’t hit the ball in the hole but I can exchange cash at the pro shop. Makes no sense to me but I will definitely be back!
Great Time
Windy day... course was clear and staff was on point. Not a fan of the new “Covid Rules” but I do like getting out with the boys and enjoying a nice round of golf! Great food at the restaurant and the staff was awesome! Covid Sucks... didn’t let it ruin a great day out!
A day off
Course was amazing. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back.
Great course
I have played this course twice and love it. Once I can hit my driver better I’ll love it even more. I would highly recommend this course to anyone.
Carts and the GPS
The slow down the they put on the carts are ridiculous, a foot into the rough slow down. 15 feet towards your ball off the cart path shut the cart down. Stupid amusement ride. Course was average nothing special, they act like it’s pebble beach. Still not impressed.
Pretty good in the Wake of Corona....
The course was in Amazing shape....except the greens look they are still recovering from being punched. They are doing a great job of making do and providing us a great experience even during Corona times. Very pleased overall.
Not at all impressed.
The round was a shotgun start and took 51/2 hours to complete....was not disclosed on golf now of shotgun start. All four golfers were not pleased.
Great day for golf!
Nice weather for November golf, great day to be outside playing golf. Course was in great shape.
Ted Hawk Golf
Course of okay a little slow. No marshaling. Course is pretty tough for most play. Lots of places to get in trouble. No water on golf cart. Very fry and helpful
Staff. Course is very pretty with beautiful homes
Great place to golf
we played the lakes, will definitely come back for more awesome golf highly recommend!
Great course
Awesome time and they just improved the range drastically. Solid course with challenging holes but good tee shots are rewarded. I’ll be back, one of my fav courses in Reno
A little dry, rude members
I enjoy this course, its a nice layout and has good distance from Gold tees. Every time I play here the members are just rude, a lot of people 60+ in age.
We had a group behind us hit into our golf cart two times, and one time onto the green when we were on it, I was polite cause they were seniors but they felt entitled to do this cause they are members.
The 5 people ahead of us were abusing the greens so we were fixing 3 divots on each green.
Course; 6/10
Greens are very dry, we teed off at 7:20am so no excuse, they should be soft and damp. Not hard and dry, running too fast for regulation speeds.
Fairways were very chewed up, and short. But most had enough water, on 6 holes my tee shot was actually plugged into the ground which is not good course management if the fairways are this wet they will get abused.
For $60 to play, I compare to great courses. I just played Whitney Oaks in Rocklin for $35 and it is in perfect shape, reno is a bit proud.
If you are looking for a new course to play, try Red Hawk. If you want a great designed course that is more challenging, try Dayton Valley or Eagle Valley.
Great course
Haven’t played the Hills yet but the Lakes is a good one for sure. Challenging but fun!
