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.

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.
A truly spectacular course
I played the hill course yesterday and I played the lake course today and it is absolutely spectacular.
Not to take anything away from the Hills as it was a great course also but that is the Lakes course was fabulous. You can't beat the price and conveinence that I found on golfNow.
Red Hawk Resort Hills Course
I was scheduled to play the Lakes Course, but was bumped to the private Hills Course due to a tournament...lucky me :)
Nice course with challenging terrain. The hills made some of my tee shots roll an additional 20+ yards! Beautiful course, great value.
Fun
nice course had fun, would not walk for fun it would be a huge work out. Did not like # 10 at all
nice layout
awesome layout will definately play again i really like all the water hazards on this coarse despite the windy day when i played
perfect
Highly recommend Fast play great greens Great views couldnt be better
won't happen again
not good, when i got there the lakes course was
closed..... i was playing with the wife and wanted the flatter course, they put us on the hills course... up and down the fairways & hills, cart paths only.....
by the way we're in our early 70's
February Golf
Course was in good shape for February. Greens rolled nice.
second time for bad experience
I did enjoy to play this course. The course was maintained and well designed. So I played there several times.
But I had a bad experience with the staffs due to dead cart before.
Last Sunday, I came there with my dad(78 years old). When we started playing at the 1st hole, we realized that the course had 'Cart Path Only' that day.
When I did purchase the deal, there was no mention about that. And they didn't let us know that when we checked in.
My dad had a hard time to play there and then.
If I know the course had that condition, I was not going to buy the deal. There was another deal which was cheaper and having cart access fully.
That was so bad...
great time
Played both courses and thought lakes would be tough with water but it was set up great and played fair. Great conditions heading into the winter months..
As always this is a great course
The fair ways and greens were immaculate. This was a rather chilly day so our round was completed in 3 hours. The outstanding value well compensated for the chill.
