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.

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.

Meticulous and Friendly

Without a doubt the nicest staff I’ve experienced at a course in some time. I mean, 6-7 different employees took the time to genuinely chat and offer assistance, etc. Great amenities, fun layout, FAST greens. Played when it was well in the high 90’s and they made sure to keep everyone stocked with cold water. Standard rates are a bit higher than I’d like to usually spend, but this is as close to worth it as you’ll find in a modern-2025, greedy, golf world. Will be back!

Hot day, Good course!

Played at 12:50 . Ended up being the hottest day of the month, so very toasty, but carts had plenty of water and ice. Course has shade at tees and greens. Fairways good considering it's end of summer. Greens average to good. Challenging layout for high handicappers, but playable.

Overall good.

Greens are in great shape. Fairways could use more water. Grass was thin to non-existent in some areas. Marshalls came around several times to make syre we were having a good experience. Actually offered to make the group in front let us play thru! We declined but that was a first for us. Will play again when the weather cools.

Great day of golf

I've wantes to play Red Hawk for decades and finally got the chance. What a great course. Everything was in excellent condition, and the weather cooperated. It was the middle of July and the temp never got above 84*. We finished in less than 4 hrs. Can't wait to play there again.

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.
