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.

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.

Red Hawk is a great and friendly place. The only negative is the cart area is not convenient to parking area and practice/check in.

Lakes vs Hills

I like both courses but I think the Lakes gets the edge 'cause I love all the water and the challenges herein. Course is in fine condition for the winter and the tee-off price is excellent - full tee-time price is a bit high, but with this discount it's a great deal.
