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.

Still One of My Favorites

Great course conditions. The crew has cut back some of the rough so it makes finding some of those errant shots a bit easier to locate.

Super slow

Pace of play was atrocious. 5.5 hour round starting at 1:30pm. Nice course but I hope the pace isn’t always this bad.

Awesome day

Cold kept the hoards away but ended being less windy than forecast. Forward were mostly firm and fast with some wet spots here and there. Greens weren’t super fast but receptive and rolled great.

Love this layout and you never feel the houses are very visible or in the way except for maybe a hole or two. Definitely feels like you are in the forest in places also. Made the trip up from SD and well worth it.

Everyone we encountered was super friendly also.

Great coarse overall

Love the attention to the little things.

Every hole had fresh flowers planted at the T box. Workers were there to help even on the coarse. Loved the place definitely in my top 2 coasts ever played.

3 stars for the poor greens

Was hoping this course was gonna be in great shape. The greens were so bumpy. Not sure why they are aerated in March. But would of liked to habe known before coming. I thought coming after a nice wet ending to winter everything would be nice and green and smooth. Still a work in work a progress here. Love the staff and design of course. But will head to another course In the future until they can get their greens right.

Nice surprise!

8 of us went to play RSJ since we had an upcoming tournament planned and wanted to get familiar with the course. I had heard from others that they had played years ago and that it was a bit beat up and run down. Well, after the round, most were surprised to find the course revived and it wasn't beat up as it was in prior years. I have nothing to compare it to but I loved the course layout and greens were fine but played fast. Some of the fairways needed some filling in and maybe that's why a few of the holes were cart path only.. Their restaurant is bomb and service great too!
