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.

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.
Course in overall good condition
The course was in overall good condition and the pace of play was very good.
more sand than Abu Dabi
This is a very good, and challengeing, course (Lakes Course). There are more sand traps than I have ever seen on any other course, but thet are well laid out to offer you a great game.
Alittle cold but great terrain.
The 36 hole layout is great I wish more courses would build at least additional nines to speed up play.
excellent course, long round though
course is in excellent shape, greens were good for this time of year, good test with ample room to spray some drives, round was slow with tournaments in front, only minor complaint
Nice but covered with goose droppings.
We played on a Monday and pace was fine. Bunkers were hard as a rock, goose droppings covered the fairways anywhere near a pond and there are ponds/water on most holes. They really need a border collie to chase off the geese. And they need to deep rake the bunkers.
Practice facility was good except the practice green was very fast compared to the actual greens that had been punched 4 weeks earlier. When they punch greens they should punch the practice green as well so that the practice is worth while. I practiced putting for 20 minutes only to find out that it was pointless.
nice course, but poorly maintained. very disappointing.
Greens punched over 2 weeks ago, but although healed,had never been rolled. Very disappointing. Practice space very poor. Hard to believe this is billed as a resort course. Pace of play ridiculously slow.
Had to leave after 15 holes as was on a 5+ hour pace.
Great Course
Course in nice shape especially for mid Oct. Staff very courteous! Greens take a lot of getting used to, FAST!
