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.

Pleasantly surprised
You never know what you're going to get when you play on vacation but this "resort" was definitely above par. If the conditons are this good early spring I'm eager to come back and play the Hills course since the Lakes was awesome. Very challenging round from the blue tees in solid 10-20 winds, lots of water and decision making but the GPS was perfect and course amenities were great. Hit a backup on the back 9 but I'm pleased all the way around.
Challenging course, but fair.
Course was in great shape for this early in the season. Can't wait to play again.
A lot of water
Was an interesting course. Long par threes. Course was in great shape for this time of year.
good design on lakes course but too early in season.
unable to cart on course due to grass grow?? rates should be discounted for seasonal play, otherwise good stay at villas.
amazing corse. Horrible customer service at check in!!
I always love this corse. It is in better shape than other corses in this area.
We reserved 2 spots on golfnow.com and then realized that we had 2 more friends that wanted to play. I went back on golfnow.com and there was only 1 spot available for the same tee time so i bought it. I then called in the morning to add our fourth player and the guy on the phone was very nice and accomadated or needs.
When I checked in the guy proceeded to tell me that we made it very difficult by making reservations with golfnow.com and that it was a real pain the way we made reservations.
If they are going to do business with golfnow.com they shouldnt get mad when people use this service.
I will continue to use golfnow.com and I will continue to golf at Red Hawk I just don't think that we were treated the same way that he would have treated a member or someone that paid full price.
Hole placements only drawback
The Greenskeeper must have been having a bad day. Not only were most of the pin placements in the most difficult position on the greens(very undulating greens) but the color coded flags were wrong almost every time. I've never played the course before and you can just imagine how getting deeked on how deep the pin is on the green will affect you. Doesn't help when both of us in our group do not have the best depth perception.
Nice Round
Havn't played Red Hawk in 7 years, had a great day! Course is in 8/10 condition, greens are nice, few spots on fairways need some work. One theme though playing the Lakes ...BUNKERS!! Never played a course with more bunkers. I was in 6 times, my playing partner hit the sand 15 times ! They seemed to be placed right at his drive range. Good cart with GPS, although the cart had a mind of its own if you violated the cart path only rule on 3 holes, or too close to green. (cart would slow to a crawl till you cleared forbidden area). Nice amenities, ordered food from cart. No drink carts that day, off season I guess. Some VERY challenging holes. 17 is 200 yds over water with nowhere to lay up. Fed the fishes on that one. Overall good value at $50/round through golfnow.com
One of my favorites
Red Hawk - Lakes Course is one of the finest courses in N Nevada. I play there about a dozen times per season and usually finish in 4.5 hours or less; good carts with GPS.
The fairways are a little sketchy this year, probably due to the dry and windy conditions of the past winter. I have found this to be the case with all of the courses in N Nevada this season.
great fun
the lakes course is great fun--excellent variety, lots of sand and water. makes for an excellent outing!
Good course, good condition
Enjoyable course, good layout, but our round was quite slow
One of the best maintained courses in the area,
When you think it's time to test your metal, and your woods, come out to the lakes at Redhawk. Water, sand, dog legs, and hazards line a layout that is fair, pitting reward against risk, accuracy rewarded, length respected. The staff has always paid close attention to green maintenance, fairway trimming, and graduated the rough cuts to increasing levels of irritation. It's just right. The clubhouse and restaurant compliment the course, and makes for an enjoyable, affordable day of golf. Shoot in the '80's? This course won't ruin your handicap.
