Red Hawk's layout consistently earns top marks, featuring multi-tiered greens, strategic sand traps, water hazards, and beautiful tree-lined fairways. Welcoming staff, well-groomed conditions, and rounds that regularly finish under four hours make this course excellent value.

Rating 74.4

Redhawk Golf Club is one of California's 10 best public courses. Located on the outskirts of San Diego in Temecula, the course is home to one of the southern California's only island greens. The layout is challenging no matter what your skill level but it is still immensely enjoyable. The golf course features dramatic elevation changes, narrows fairways that demand accuracy, and multi-tiered greens that are well conditioned. There is ample water on the course but its use feels natural rather than arbitrary. The numerous strategically placed bunkers are equally as challenging, if not more so than the water hazards. Every club in the bag will see some use at Redhawk Golf Club. From the elevated tees, golfers can enjoy views of the surrounding vineyards for some scenic respite from this formidable test.

Very nice Course

This was my second time playing at Redhawk and I will definitely play it again. My only complaint would be that the sand traps are not sand. They seem to be more like firm dirt rather than soft sand. Every thing else about the course is very good.

Great layout, challenging, birdie opportunities

Great course for the 10 - 25 handicappers. Nice layout, greens are very good, some patchy spots in the fairways and tee boxes but hey, it's CA weather. Overall the conditions are very good. Staff was friendly, pace was great. Some long and short holes, which I like. Par 3's are fairly short. If you hit the ball straight you'll score well here.

PAR EXCELLENCE!

I had forgotten just how nice this course is. Several times I caught myself admiring the course conditions and wondered how they managed to keep it up so well. It's a fairly long course but fast fairways made it not seem as long on certain holes. The pace of play was fine, in fact we had to make sure our group kept pace. The course Marshall was out and about but never had to be called upon. The weather was magnificent with a steady breeze so the greens were nice and on the fast side and if you gave your putts even a little bit too much you could easily have 4 to 5 feet coming back, so beware. I highly recommend this course and am very much looking forward to going back.

Misleading Ratings

Does Golfnow verify ratings to ensure course staff isn't padding the rating? Greens had 3 or 4 kinds of grass so no putt rolled true.Like watching a snake wiggle around and bounce.

Only positive was the greens would hold an approach shot. Fairway were pasture grass. Thin green stiff, rutty, needed water bad. Maybe in the summer it would be better but for now not so much. Nothing like all the positive rating comments that lead me to want to play this course.

Excellent Overall Experience

Our overall experience was excellent! The golf experience team were very friendly and accommodating as they recognized that this was our first time at the course. The course was fun to play and offered challenges that were reasonable (no hidden lies or unfair placements). Even though the greens were a bit of a challenge due to their recent punch aeration, the greens were in acceptable shape. The breakfast and lunch was fantastic and the service was excellent and very friendly. Highly recommend and will return when we are in the area.

Always Satisfied ✅

Today was a pleasant day out on the course . It started out kind of slow as the starter didn’t have carts labeled , no water buckets ready for golfers instead suggested to wet them on the turn…. Ummm… what about the front 9 ?? …. Anyways, the course was in good shape, the greens were awesome! The pace of play was excellent and we seen the Marshalls several times through out the day asking if we were good. The value for what you pay is right on in my opinion … not over priced by any means and the layout is great for all skill levels with some breath taking Par 3’s and views. It’s definitely one of the better courses around and I will definitely be back. I highly recommend this course!

Great Course

Good conditions, fairways were pretty firm and the greens were rolling nicely! Tough course from the championship tees but a good challenge. Had some guys behind us that were blasting country music and cussing at my group to hurry up even when we were right behind the group in front of us. Called the pro shop and they sent a Marshall out immediately to handle the situation. Lovely staff!
