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.

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.
Great course horrible staff
The staff makes it very clear that you’re not a member and really unwelcome.
A little upset.
The people, course, and pace of play were very good. My issue is that I wasn't paired with anyone, yet I was charged an extra $30.00 for my wife to ride in the cart.
I don't mind paying extra, but $30.00 is very excessive.
Early season Red Hawk
Course is relatively difficult with many sand traps, water, and recently aerated greens. But I am still a big fan of the course and the personnel that work there. I also enjoyed the 19th hole at David's bar and the food at the restaurant. All in all it was a great day to enjoy the outdoors and the golfing experience.
Good Course (Lakes)
4/18/24 - Course is in good condition for the time of year. Greens are a little patchy, but still rolling fast and true. Overall a very good course if you can get a deal on it. I'd be a little disappointed if I paid over $75 for it right now.
