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.

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
Red hawk - lake course
This course was a complete surprise. It took us over 30 minutes from the Peppermill Casino in Reno but it was well worth the drive. This course is beautifully set in among some gorgeous homes. There are a lot of sand traps however the distance is moderate and easier to play than at first glance. The greens were very challenging but in terrific shape. We would love to play this course again!
Great condition
Overall a fine course! Will be back. Needs a beverage cart
The course was in excellent condition
Excellent round of golf for the price. At $59 it is a great value.
Wetlands in the desert.
Who knew how many natural wetland features there are in Spanish Springs, just outside Sparks.
Took longer to get to the course than I thought so didn't get to warm up. Of course by the time we finished it was almost 100 degrees. The starter paired me with a very friendly member, Mike, who guided me around the course and regaled me with tales of great golf around the world. Jack, a southern gentleman, working to maintain the pristine conditions , also made me feel at home. Accuracy is key here as water comes in play on several holes.
I'll be back.
Lunch at David's Grill was delightful.
nice layout
Good course for the money. Not too challenging but there were a few holes the made you stop abd think. As a first time visitor registration o the course the on cart GPS helped guide me around.
great greens
First off the greens are in great condition and are of high design quality there was no green that was not fun to be on. As with many American courses there is a pace of play problem in short people take to long to get to their ball prior to their shot and thus play WAY too slow!!! There was no marshall in sight nor did the drink cart catch up with me(but I did move around, once the place slowed to a snails pace) I made it out onto the hills course by accident a fair test of skill given the wind loved it>
Great features
Had a fun time playing this corse. Gets pretty windy in the afternoon. The sand traps weren't raked.
Our favorite course
It was 69 degrees and the wind was blowing hard so that made it cold. The price at the coarse was the same as it was on Golf Now so we were disappointed that we had to pay over 7 dollars fee to Golf Now.
Tricky greens
We enjoyed the layout of the course, and it was in good condition. As a "3", putting is a strong part of my game, and I had a hard time reading the greens. They were a little slower than those I usually play, and the breaks were seldom what I expected. All in all, though, it was a pleasant experience.
