The Lakes Course at Red Hawk
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.

Fun Course To Play
Very well maintain course. The club is right around the corner from where I live. i haven't played there previously because it is fairly expensive for my retirement budget. Discount rates through GOLFNOW made playing possible. Watch out for the many fairway bunkers.
Nice course but bring water
The course was in excellent shape and very pretty. However, if you play in hot weather, as we did, be sure to bring water with you. There is no water on the course and despite assurances, we only saw cart girl once in 18 holes.
Very Nice Golf Expereince
Despite afternoon wind gust of 20-25 mph, the golf experience here was very positive. The course was in excellent shape, the course somewhat challenging with wind direction and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely play again if I am in the area and would recommend play to anyone interested.
A day at Red HAwk Lakes Course
The Lakes course is one of my favorites. The day was brutally hot at 100 degrees. I was behind a twosome .
The pace was slower then usual due to a tournament, and as the day went on the pace got slower and slower due to the heat. The beverage cart was in circulation and the course marshal stopped by a few times to keep me updated on what was going on up ahead. I passed the waiting time by repairing divots in the tee boxes , and fixing ball marks on the greens. An enjoyable day never the less even with the brutal heat.
Excellent course
Very friendly and accommodating staff..
Greens in excellent shape. Very true roll with only minor irregularities.
Not a grip and rip course. Has to be played with thought and planning.
Well worth the fees and should be on every visitors playlist.
Lakes better than Hills...
Great course especially when we have water... Much preferred to their hill course
Great Course
What a great course. Played the Lakes and really enjoyed it. Discounted afternoon rate started at 2. Gave us more than enough time to finish without being rushed. Will be a favorite Reno stop from now on.
Nice to a tourist
I was in town just goofing off for a couple of days and some people recommended this course. Great condition, challenging, and nice staff.
winter conditions
The fairways and ruff were in good shape. The only thing is the greens. They are bumpy. Ball goes off line easily. But they haven't rolled the greens in months.
Beautiful
Fair course , great views and an attentive staff even late in the year.
Only one problem
Nice course but the geese droppings was enough for me to not come back. 2 greens were loaded with them and you had to clean a path to putt. Almost all the tee boxes had them and it became a pain to find an area to tee off and stand without them. My playing partner stepped out of his cart several times and landed his spikes in them. Lots of birds, lots of poo and these geese are not small. I don't think the management can do much about it but i would not play there again because of it
The course was in great shape.
The weather was perfect and the course was in great shape. 17 out of 18 greens were in good condition.
good choice in Reno
Nice design. Few blind shots. Driving range conditions poor. Pace of play awful and no marshalls. Course conditions generally good with some areas needing attention
Course in great shape
You need to think about your game plan on this course. There are many bunkers with different types of sand in each one. If you get stuck in one - think about where you need to be and work on getting there. It is not a simple course. If you want to score well, you need a game plan. I loved it. I joined the Talon Club and I'm so happy I did. Tomorrow I will play the hills course. This will be my goto course when I'm in Reno. I desperately needed a good course to play when spending 1/2 my time in Reno. Discovery Bay is my main club and I just could not take playing another Muni.
Fun challenging course
You can't just walk up with a driver on every par 4 or 5 because you have to stop and think first because there are a ton of sand traps. Course was in great shape, greens were fast and true. Had a great time!'
It's worth the play!
The course, the Lakes, has wide open fairways, the fastest greens I've played in a while, lots of water features and overall a great experience.
If your looking for a plush course to play this is it!
This is one of the best courses I have played, carts are awesome and equipped with a flat screen gps system, the staff was awesome, the course is plush plush plush, the tee boxes are better than most of the fairways where I'm from and the greens are just awesome. Had an awesome day here and will definitely be back soon! Came to reno just to play here and it was worth every penny, awesome conditions awesome day cannot say enough about this place the whole property from golf shop to restraint was incredible love the layout and the scenery is beautiful!
Course in great shape
Always enjoy playing Redhawk, The Lakes Course. Haven't played it in a few years and wonder why. I always loved the course and was not disappointed. Course was in great shape and had a great day with little wind.
Great place
This is a great place to play no matter your experience level. Great condition and great views
