Course Highlights
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.

Course Quickly Backed Up Due to Multiple Small Groups

I never mind playing solo (and often prefer it when I'm experimenting with different shots) but I'm not sure the course should allow back to back 2-somes and singles when it is inevitable the smaller groupings will catch up to the groups in front of them, including the larger groups (of 4), causing a back up. This is what occurred when I played on this particular Saturday. It didn't seem as though the 2-somes wanted to partner up with one another (and the 2-some in front of me finally invited me to play through since I guess they couldn't enjoy themselves with me constantly behind them, even though I often played multiple balls per hole to try to give them some space). Of course I quickly caught up with the next 2-some, who did not seem interested in forming a larger group. At the 16th hole, which had a 3 group back up, I finally gave up and drove ahead, only to see each hole filled to capacity. I was permitted to play the 1st 3 holes again, which I enjoyed. However, even though I don't mind playing by myself, I think I would prefer the course make the smaller groups join up (as I have encountered at some other courses) so that all of the groups can play at a reasonable pace and perhaps avoiding the tremendous back up that occurred when I played on Saturday.

Great course good conditions

Redhawk was a great challenge and in wonderful shape. My only request would be to open the bar earlier or have a beverage cart out before 11 am. Wonderful experience overall.

Very fun

Redhawk was a very pleasant surprise. Fairways were well groomed and greens manicured perfectly. Great scenery and challenging course with a bit of target golf included. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Totally enjoyed our time.

A real test for mid to high handicaps

Pay attention to fairway slope. The course is in great condition. The greens are fast. Pay attention to fairway slope. Not a great course for those with bad knees or ankles. Great practice/warm up area. Pace of play is monitored here. Pay attention to fairway slope.

Very Nice Facility

This is is very difficult course with tight fairways, trees, heavy rough and lots if sand traps. Pick your tees wisely and bring your A game. Greens are rolling great and are undulating. There is a small driving range, practice putting greens and a few chipping areas. The restaurant is good and the pace iof play was 4 hours for an afternoon round. The .
