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.

Beat up greens
Almost every green suffered from unrepaired ball marks, some dragging their spikes around the cups. Course was too wet overwatering, I was always wiping mud from my ball.
Except for smoke, beautiful day
Course is in great shape with only blemish 1st green which has always been an issue with grass. Most sand traps had actual sand that was set up a little by watering but playable. Only complaint was I wish they could rid the lakes off the algae and chemicals to be able to fish my errant goofballs out from the water. Was actually surprised to find the wet lands wet this time of year usually dried out by now. Frequent passes by beverage cart on a hot day was nice.
Over Priced
For $130 dollars you would think this place would be in pristine condition. Bunkers have weeds or ponds in them, greens were saturated, and some of the greens are in bad shape. For the amount they charge you would expect better conditions, save your money and play somewhere else.
Good
The course was in good shape, the weather was a little warm, no wind. Didn't play that well ,but no excuses. Nice warm day, great company, good price on a good course. I'm happy I WENT.
Boooooooooo!!!!
The low-light of our annual golf trip. The round took over 5 hours!! The marshal did absolutely nothing.....and the course was not worth the money. Bunkers were horrible...the fairways had a lot of blemishes.
Great off-course amenities though.
Red Hawk Lakes
Nice course that's pretty easy to navigate. Played quickly as a single completing round in 3 hours.
This course is overpriced for what it is. It was a little warm the day we played not a beverage cart in sight and they don’t allow you to bring own.
Late Fri tee time, Starter unfriendly, pace of play turtle slow, didnt see a Marshal once on the front 9, waited 30 mins to tee off on 10, played 3 more holes. Couldnt stand the backup, again never saw a Marshall. Left.
Expect more for a $90 green fee.
Not in as good shape as normal
Played course many times when in town. Like the track but not in good shape. Bunkers are terrible. Puddles of water, just dirt or full of rocks.
Very good course. Slow play.
This is a great facility. Marshall needs to speed up obviously slow players.
Redhawk Lakes Course
We booked a 7am tee time to beat the heat and weekend crowds for $114 per player. The round started fine but by hole 2 we were waiting for the group in front of us who were not skilled golfers by any measure. This continued even with the Marshall driving passed 5 or 6 times. At the turn we were 22 minutes behind pace. On hole 17 there were 12 groups waiting to tee off due to a tournament shotgun start backing up the course. It took 55 minutes to play the last two holes. Final round length was 5 hours 15 minutes.
The course was in good shape but there were quite a few burned / dry spots in the fairway and front edge of greens.
For the value I would expect a better run course and more consideration of pace of play from the Marshall. All carts have GPS tracking, there is no reason to not identify a back up and request groups to skip holes in order to accommodate golfers for the rest of the day.
