Slope 127
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.

Beautiful Course and Scenery

RedHawk is a great course with an inviting atmosphere. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience that much better. The pace of play is smooth and enjoyable, and the course layout offers a nice mix of shot variety. Several holes are quite challenging, keeping the round exciting for players of all levels. Overall, RedHawk delivers a fun and well-run golfing experience.

Way overpriced for what you get

Our round took 5 hours and 7 minutes to play. I saw one Marshall and he was just driving around and didn’t do anything to speed things up. The greens were a little torn up, the bunkers were rock hard. The fairways and rough were good. The carts are super annoying and automatically slow down at random. For almost $150 a head this course should have been a home run. Instead it was an overpriced, longgg day on a course only a few notches up from a muni. However I would play again if it was cheaper and the pace was a lot faster because it does have some good views.

Hills is just an expensive muni

The Hills was the worst conditions ive ever seen red hawk. It’s the same conditions as the local courses you can play for $40. Wildly over priced for what it is currently. Wont play Hills again. I’ll go to washoe and save $100

Great Course

My sister and I enjoyed red hawk from the beginning to the end. The staff was amazing. Everyone we encountered were friendly and had great insights on the course. Will be visiting the course in the future.

Good course play was SLOW

This is a great course in the Reno area not too far from the strip in the hotels I have played both horses and decided to play on a Monday and it was extremely slow in the afternoon and no apologies from the Marshall just to well that's how it is sometimes. I explained I came in from out of town to play his horse and it was well thank you but sometimes it's slow and you just have to wait so believe I will be checking out another courses next time I'm in Reno.

Not Worth the Price Tag

Played Red Hawk Hills recently, and while the round wasn’t bad, it certainly didn’t justify the $130 green fee.

The course itself is... fine. Conditions were average—greens and fairways were playable but nothing special. The layout didn’t stand out, and the overall experience felt like something you'd expect from a $70–$80 course, not one charging nearly double that.

Pace of play was slow with no visible course management, and the amenities were underwhelming for the price. No range balls included, carts were basic, and clubhouse service was minimal. At this price point, you expect at least one element—course quality, service, or scenery—to be exceptional. Unfortunately, none of them were.

Red Hawk Hills isn’t a bad place to golf, but if you're paying $130, there are better values elsewhere. Wouldn’t rush back unless the rates come down significantly.

Great people, great food, average course

Elevation changes are dramatic. That is the most interesting thing about the Hills course.

Fairways had bare spots, greens were in great shape and rolled true. My biggest issue playing the course for the first time was many of the uphill approaches to the greens were almost invisible. They just blended into the surrounding hills.

I found the layout pretty average, nothing that really got me excited.

Hills were fun!

Cool layout, nice change up from the lakes side. Some areas of the course were still recovering from the winter but the greens were great and the pace was very good! Played both courses on the same day so the rounds averaged out to $89/per player.(replay is $35). Will be on my list of places to play again In Reno!

Challenging but fun to play

Wind is a factor on any high-desert course and this no exception. Nice layout that’s playable and challenging.
