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.

Excellent Golf Experience

Redhawk is a well maintained and fun course, featuring an island green. If you hit it mostly straight, you can shoot a good score. If you get crooked or miss the greens, it will cost you strokes. It can get crowded on weekends, based on past experience. I played as a single a Monday afternoon. I had twosomes in front and behind and still moved along without much waiting, finishing in under 4 hours. The practice facilities and amenities are nice. I paid just under $50 and was very satisfied with my weekday round.

Redhawk is in the best shape I’ve ever seen.

I’ve been playing Redhawk for many years. It’s been great at times and kind of poor at times. Yesterday (03/23/2026), it was in the best shape I have ever seen. Tee to green, the course is very well kept even though it looks as if it was recently punched. Great job Redhawk.

Recently went to redhawk. Tee time price was far but it didn’t not say a thing about the greens being punched just a few days prior. Very disappointed

Terrible course management

Beautiful golf course that totally ignores player satisfaction.On the first tee we were preceded by 2 guys in a cart sharing one set of clubs. The starter explained that one of the guys had his clubs stolen and so the pro shop made an exception for him. I asked why they simply didn’t lend him a rental set and the starter acknowledged that that would have been a good idea.

We followed the foursome for 5 hours and 20 minutes. About the 15th hole the foursome became a sixsome. We teed off at 12:40 and finished at 6:00 p.m. , nearly dark.

At no time did we see a Marshall or anyone we could ask to remedy the situation.

It is a pity that such a lovely course could be so mismanaged.

Challenging course

Nice course, very friendly staff. It’s tough! Narrow fairways and elevation changes on every hole it seemed like. Good bunker design makes you need to play strategically. Fairways were a bit rough in some spots but overall nice course!

Disappointing

Starter bumped us 10 minutes to put a 3 some that was 30 minutes late for their tee time out in front of us. 3 some was a hole behind by the third hole. Great watching them hack their way around the golf course not filling their divots or raking bunkers. No Marshall in sight on a Sunday to move groups along. Apparently 3 some are regulars so I’ll spend my money elsewhere. Fairways more mud than grass.

Course is in great shape but it's pricey

+Course is in great shape, greens are pristine

+Pace was pretty good until the last few holes

+Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable

-Green fees are high for the style of course

-No drink cart

-Mats on range

Additionally, the greens are quick, the hazards are fairly mild (but the fairways are narrower than a lot of local courses), despite running through a housing development it didn't feel like it most of the time, and most holes don't feel like you're going to break a window if you shank it

Fairways are rough

Great design and solid greens with an extremely helpful staff. Sadly the fairways are the worst i’ve ever seen in North County San Diego. At least for a course of this caliber. Mud and dead patches everywhere. Hard pressed to even find grass to hit off of unless you were in the rough which made for nothing but either compact mud shots or tight lies off of hardpan if you hit the fairway. The lake looked like a swamp and was not properly maintained. It’s really too bad because it has massive potential. Still gave it 3 stars but would be 5 if not for the above.
