The Hills Course at Red Hawk
About
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 Day in the Hills
Playing in Reno for the first time. It was a Monday, but we had no one in front of us or behind. Course was in pretty good shape, a layout with some elevation changes, variety of holes to keep your interest. It was not too punitive, always somewhere to put your tee shot, but it was not wide open by any means. Plenty of bunkers, both for the drive and the approach shot. Greens were a little slow, but there was enough slope to the greens to demand your attention. We only lost two balls in our twosome and those were some very wayward shots, one OB and one in the weeds. My only complaint is the golf cart restrictions, where the cart would not go all the way to the far edge of the rough? Huh? Who makes up these rules? But I would happily play here again.
Red hawk Reno Nevada
Red hawk has 2 courses. They both are in GREAT shape. Putting greens are a little slow.
good conditions for april
Course is always worth the money if you can play for a discount. $75 each rack is too much but $35-40 is about right with this course.
Golf course/dog course
Played this course last summer, nicer then. This time we shared the course with dogs and dog droppings. There were also children playing in the sand areas, of concern to us regarding their safety. This is overall a lovely course, nice visas, challenging runs, comfortable pace. Not sure when it turned into a community park, hoping it can get back to being just a golf course ~
Great winter conditions
Played the Hills yesterday (March 12, 2018) and had a thoroughly enjoyable round. The starter was bit “surely” (he seemed stressed and continued to call us up to his starters hut 20, 15 and 10 minutes prior to our scheduled tee time which completely interrupted our warm up routine). But once on the course was pleasantly surprised with the course conditions. Although the grass is winter brown, the fairways were well groomed and the ball sat up beautifully. The greens were “green” and rolled true and fast...highly recommend this for a nice winter course in the Reno area!
Red Hawk
Girlfriend and I loved it. Got a great green fee price on Golf now. We will be back!
Wish We Were Told
First of all we traveled 2 1/2 hours to play. We reserved a room in Reno for 2 nights and we're excited about the trip and golf. When we arrived the staff took our bags placed them on our cart. We checked in and was sent to the starter. We putted on the putting green for a bit it was awesome! I told my husband the greens are fast really nice. We tee'd off on 1 on the Hills Course got to the green and it was freshly plugged! GolfNow was not made aware I phoned they always post aerated greens. We would have never played had we known. I made GolfNow aware so our fellow golfers have a choice!
Fun interesting course
I usually play muni type courses. So this was a treat. Totally fair feeling course wideish fairways with much elevation change. Especially on the back nine. I would happily play this course again. Also less break than appears on the greens.
Nice course
Course was in good condition. Greens were not consistent. Some were fast and others were slow. Sand traps need to be filled up with decent sand and the rocks removed.
Nice Very Nice
Some very good golf holes. Hills Course is pretty wide open. I enjoyed the design.
A nice up and down course
A number of fun elevated tee shots as well as a variety of lies due to mounding in the fairways. Consistent green speed with interesting sloping and mounding.
