The Lakes Course at Red Hawk

Booked a tee time for myself and my cousin. We teed off at 11:40 am and had to wait on EVERY hole. We were informed that there was a tournament that morning, and that there were no problems. WRONG!! The tournament took a lot longer than expected and the course was overbooked. It was 100 degrees and we waited every shot. The foursome in front of us were playing tees that they had NO business playing. The marshal told us that things were getting better and that play was speeding up. WRONG AGAIN!!! When we made the turn, we encountered two foursomes waiting to tee off. This was a little after THREE HOURS!!! We expressed our disappointment to the marshal and requested a refund of half the green fees. He spoke to the pro shop and we were informed that we would have to speak to Golf Now about the refund. Golf Now called the pro shop and the rep at Golf Now credited my account with half of the green free charges. They were great! In my opinion, the management of this course acted in a greedy way by overbooking on the day of a tournament. It will be a very long time before I ever play there again!

Beautiful day played early am before the heat the greens ran so smooth made some incredible putts it was great

Fairways are coming along nicely...greens were over watered and soft....bumpy and not rolling smooth....needs a couple more weeks to dry out and recover from arification.

Played on the Lakes Course, beautiful course, well groomed, good level of difficulty great staff, never rushed and only held up slightly

Took 4 hours 45 minutes to play.

Have a lot of buildings to navigate to get from parking lot, to pro shop, to restaurants, to driving range,.

Never did see a putting green.

Driving range was mats only, this in June. Very poor set up.

Starter acted stressed out to say the least. Once I got on course I saw why. A tournament in front of us (went off at 9:20), followed by a twosome, solo, foursome, and another twosome. Waited on every hole. Saw a Marshal once, about #12, said the last tourney group was a couple holes behind but thought he had them going. Picked up a little.

No workers around to check in cart, help with clubs nothing. Seemed very unorganized.

Played with Jim and Hardey who live on the course and they were a great help and made the day. MY partner, Erick, lives in Reno, and has played the course several times. All and all I had a great time and will be back again when I return to Reno.

Everytime i go by the 9th hole its back up. Sometimes l back 9 can take 30minutes a hole. Some of the slowest golf ever. I usually end up skipping holes. Never seen a marshall making people move faster.

First time my wife and I played this course. The red tees were particularly good for her as most of the holes did not present her with a hazard to go over and this made the round very fun for her. Fairways and rough were in good shape for this early in the season. Greens were a little slow and took getting used too, probably also due to time of year. Course was very fair on most fairways you could swing hard off the tee and keep it in play. We will be back. Great value and a very fun day.

Red Hawk in Sparks NV has a old school feel in many way, the kind of old school that makes golf one of the worllds greatest institutions. What makes Red Hawk new is the unparralelled modren approach to everything from your carts own gps to the details that allow for a world class golf expereince.

Hats of to the Staff ot Red Hawk "Excellent Job Well Down"

Played the lakes course challenging but fun. The course is worth every penny. Made a tee time for winter rate because everything in the Reno area is way over priced in the summer. But $42.00 from golf now not bad. If you thinking about food Dave's bar and grill looks fancy but totally thumbs down on that place I'll save my money next time. I got a quick bagel and cream cheese before my round but who in the he'll brings out Frozen cream cheese any way the pro shop the guy working in there in my opinion thought he was holy than now kinda rude. But I wasn't there for the amenities I was there for the golf fun challenging and had a good day. I do believe that that staff at this complex needs to work on there customer service skills though I'll be back hopefully to play the hills course next time

The Lakes represents a layout for all levels of golf. From the tips one has to thread each drive to that just right spot and the greens are ready to hold all approach shots. The greens are made for brave putts...speed and break make each green a unique experience, all good.

The staff was spot on at each step of the golf outing. The course maintance team has done a great job of keeping the entire course golf ready and the carts are in great shape.

One ah ha moment was driving #17 240 yrd Par 3 across a small lake with the snow covered mountains in the back ground.

I'll be back again to check out the other course.

Is the Lakes golf course a golf course or a city park? The beauty of the Lakes golf course has gone downhill. What used to be a great golf experience has become less like being on a golf course and more like golfing at a city park. The Lakes golf course holes 6, 7 and 8 have become a "city park" with dog walkers, skateboarders, bicyclists and a lot of non golfer, foot traffic even when players are golfing . Also, watch out for dog waste along these cart paths. GC needs to address this issue.

Great course, friendly staff & perfect layout!

Excellent greens with very comfortable pace of play... Highly recommended to all skill levels!

started 2:30 but not enough daylight didn't finish. do not offer t times later than 2:00 pm can not complete round.

Very nice course. Enjoyed my time. Pace of play just a tad to slow.

Course is in excellent shape. Greens are true. I would definitely recommend

Third time playing the courses over the years. Played lakes course the first time it open. A lot has changed for the better. For some reason I don't understand why they don't rake the bunkers daily. Staff was great.

It was a very warm day.

The sign at checkin said they have a cart available for refreshments.

So, here is the problems with this course.

NO cart for refreshments showed up in over a 5 hour round.

Second, NO water available on ANY hole.

Third, On the Hills course there is NO availability to stop at the bar/resturant to obtain even water.

I was not aware of that fact as this is the first time i have ever played this course.

Bottom line. Red Hawk advertises that is it a premier course in the Reno area. I found that to be absolutey not true. EVEN muni courses have water on SOME holes. If i had known that there was not going to be a cart service on the entire 18 holes or an opportunity to purchase food or water/driinks after nine holes i would NEVER have played this course.

Horrible experience
