About

Type Resort
Par 71
Length 7106 yards
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.

Fun and challenging

Course is visually appealing and moderate difficulty. Front nine is not as challenging as the back. Fairways are very good. Greens are good.
Pace was very good with no delays on the front. Road block on the back. No marshals. Very enjoyable and will play again soon.

Very nice course

Really nice course. Our tee time was 4:55 and we had to pay $39 and have the cart back by 6:30 so we felt like we paid a lot for an hour and a half of play.

The Absolute best

So many superlatives. If you have a chance, play this course. Best I've played in the Reno/Carson City area. Well worth the Golfnow rate. You will not be disappointed!

bargain at $65

Must play if in the area. Great elevation changes. Greens quick and smooth. Nice layout of holes. I echo the other reviews that state pace of play issues. My twosome come up on a three some about the second hole and was stuck behind them all day. We would finish a hole and meet them at the next tee even before they could get in their carts to head down the fairway. NO marshall around.

Lakes Course

Played the Lakes Course for the 1st and absolutely love it. Front 9 is flat and open, while the back 9 will challenge you with elevation changes. Can't wait to play it again.

Hills Course-a must play course in Reno, NV

Had played in Red Hawk Lakes course few times years ago. They now open the Hills course to the public, and this is my first time played. It is so great and nice than what I am expect. It's much enjoyment than Lakes. This is the best golf course in Reno area!

Haven't had the best of luck here

We have played here twice and had issues both times. The first time they failed to tell us that a tournament was scheduled for that day and that we would be playing behind it. We got in 15 holes before it was too dark to play. No credit, no refund. It was just our loss.
The second time they didn't see fit to warn us that the course had been punched and sanded. With our early morning tee time with the heavy dew on the course the ball resembled a dirt clod and was all but impossible to hit solidly. Again our loss.
Have talked to friends that love the place, but I can't recommend it. If you are going to play there make sure that you nail them down on the situation and the course conditions.

Up and down with Hale!

I enjoyed the Lakes so much went back to play the Hills. Once again was paired with a local member by the very nice starter, Terry. The first two holes are deceiving - relatively flat. Saw a young coyote on #2. Then the up and down begins. Accuracy is key as the ball will roll and roll - sometimes not where you want it to. The sand traps are a bit diabolical - lots of grass on the front edges. Beautiful views of the Spanish Springs valley. Ronnie Gribble, the greens super, has a wonderful crew keeping the course in great shape. Another delightful lunch at David's Grill.

First Time on Tjhe Hills

We have played The Lakes course here a dozen or so times but never managed to get on the Hills.

Fairly challenging with some of the slopes.

No food access as there is no clubhouse turn on this course. Beverage cart girl very nice and offered to bring us out thier sandwiches but we really wanted a wrap from David's.

We opted to head back to the clubhouse after #8 and resumed our round after lunch.

Overall a great day.

Nice Course

Course in good condition. Some very long Par 4s from blue tees. Fairways are generous with a few dry spots. Actually good for a desert course. Rough played a bit long. Greens were spotty but rolled fine; medium speed. Course did not play overly challenging. Overall, a nice course and I would like to play again

We'll be back!

Looking forward to playing it again. Friendly and helpful staff. Smooth operating cart with great GPS that was invaluable. Course is scenic and was in good condition. The narrow rolling fairways with many bunkers, the small guarded greens which were consistent in firmness and roll, and the blind shots made for a challenging but fun round of golf. We were not aware of this so be prepared, you play all 18 holes before ending up back at the club house. That is, no call ahead food service.

P.S. Saw close up, about 50 feet, a large buck antelope with trophy horns that was not the least bit concerned with human presence. .

Not built for walking

In addition to being hilly, there are a few long treks between holes. A few surprises on blind shots. Staff was very helpful.

This course qualifies one of top favorites in Nevada.

The course layouts were exceptional along with great greens that had great roll when putting.

Great golf outing

We were able to schedule this course on Golfnow.com. The staff at the course was extremely knowledgeable and courteous. The views were fantastic. We will definitely try to arrange golf here the next time we are in Reno. The next time we plan to play the back tees just to be able to say we played a 700 yard Par 5!
