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.

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!
Beautiful Layout
The Lakes course is a beautiful layout and was in great condition when we played. Depending on your choice of tees, the course can be easy to very challenging.
The frustration in our day (other than our golf abilities) was the slow play (5:15). Three groups on one tee box is excessive. Turns out there was a tournament in front of us and some of the players were drunk (9:00am tee time).
Great value for the reasonable green fees.
Course lay-out was very fun to play, fairways and greens are in excellent condition. If you are in the Sparks area, you must play at this course. We played the Lake course, booked online at GolfNow and received a discounted rate.
Enjoyed the round very much.
Carts were nice and clean with GPS.
Course condition was very good.
Only downside is hitting off mats on driving range.
The course and staff were great. Will play this course whenever I am back in this area.
The tone for the day was set when we met Malcolm at the bag drop. Staff was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. The course was in excellent condition. I consider myself to be a hacker and therefore found this course challenging and fun to play. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone traveling to the Reno/Sparks, NV area.
Challenging course from the black tees
Course is in excellent condition. I got a great deal through golfnow.com. The course plays long if played from the black tees. It brings a lot more trouble into play. The par 5's are reachable in two and they provide excellent birdie opportunities. Great course, I have played it a handful of times over the years and it is always well maintained and staffed.
GPS in the golf carts is awesome!!
The GPS in the golf carts is the best I've seen and the course is fun and very well maintained. The fairways, bunkers, and greens are in great shape. The water on most of the holes demands well executed shots! Great value.
Loved the course
Great course, with great facilities - love the GPS in the cart!
Starter put me on the Hill course, course has few hazards thus is some what is easy.
Hills course is nice, has some long holes, sand traps were okay.
Its still May.....
Overall, the course was in good shape. It's May and springtime in the Reno area. It still gets cold at night, so the greens aren't cut down like they are in the summer. They're a bit slow.
Fun but challenging layout
Course was in very good shape for this time of year. Also impressed with the quality of the bunkers. Numerous water hazards but landing areas are pretty generous. Several very strong par 3's that played long and difficult into the wind. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
The only negative was practice range was limited to hitting off mats.
Red Hawk Resort
The Hills is a great resort courses with great views of the valley. Course was in good shape and was moderately difficult. The staff was great made our visit well worth the price for play. Thank you Red Hawk Resorts!
Excellent course with 14 water holes - that is why it is the Lakes Coursee
Fun course to play. Greens in good shape after aerification. The rough around the greens will force you to practice these shots. The tougher holes seem to be the shorter ones requiring placement off the tee and smaller greens. Took a few holes to get used to the winds we had to contend with. Friendly staff made us feel right at home. Will definitely play again.
