Rating 73.1

The Resort at Redhawk is known to golf travelers around the globe and is one of the highlights of the grand golf destination that is the High Sierra. Located in the town of Sparks, next door to Reno, the Hills Course is one of two 18-hole runs at Redhawk and draws raves for its challenging play and incredible scenery.

Designed by three-time U.S. Open champion Hale Irwin, the Hills Course offers players a Scottish links-style layout that has small and dastardly greens, dramatic elevation changes, deep bunkering and immaculate views of one of the most scenic golf destinations in the United States.

While the Hills Course is a must play in the Reno area and will challenge long hitters with a 127 slope rating, Irwin added another touch to the resort. A unique, 18-hole putting green will have players competing, all the while improving their putting game, helping to make Redhawk and the Hills Course a standout in the High Sierra.

Red Hawk - hill course

As always this course is beautifully maintained and has a fun but always challenging layout! The team at red hawk is always above and beyond from the pro shop to the bev cart to the Marshalls.

All around great round

Played this course for the first time. It was a little confusing looking for the clubhouse which is next to the driving range. However had to navigate across the street to get a cart. But that was the only thing I found inconvenient. The staff was amazing from the time I walked into the pro shop. The range was a little crowded on a weekend, but I stayed patient as there was an instructional class going on. Grow the game, right? But the Pro was very helpful with course knowledge about fairways and green slopes. Overall I had a great experience playing the Hills course and look forward to giving the Lakes course a play!

Fun time

Played the Hills course. Everything a out the course was great. As others have mentioned, locating the golf shop, arranging the cart and finding the first was a bit tedious for a first time visit. My only knock would be about rental clubs. They were advertised as new Calloway clubs. Brand doesn't matter but the clubs were in very poor condition. I would still go again.

check-in was horrible and so was parking

Here’s why I wouldn’t recommend this to anybody number one. You go to check-in and ask him where do I get my car and they said oh you gotta go back and get in your car and drive about a half mile to this and then you check in there. But the parking is pretty far away so you gotta walk a lot when you finally get your car they go in slow motion down to 2 miles an hour in spot so it takes forever to get back to the range. By this time, you don’t have any time to warm up then the second reason is slow play. The front was quick cause we had nobody in front of our foursome, but man, the back was playing about two hours and 50 minutes so I had to quit after whole 16 and then I had to take the super slow drive back to the cart barn.

Beautiful day

Had an amazing time out on the course today!! I can't believe how great in shape to course was today. For March the greens were rolling true and the fairways looked really good. Eat at David's after, the food was so good and the staff was very friendly. All around a perfect day at Red Hawk!

Fun track

I love a course that allows you to hit a driver on all par 4's and 5's. This course does exactly that for me. Course was in good shape. Got a great golf now deal. Course layout from bag drop to 18th hole is a giant maze...

I had trouble on all par 3's...guess my driver was working too well! Enjoy the round. I hear it gets crowded, but not on this day.
