The Hills Course at Red Hawk
Rating Snapshot
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.

Wind
we teed off at 10:00 a m it was 51 degrees and it felt like at least 25 m p h winds. So tough weather course was nice sand traps fair to poor and its a Robert Trent Jones junior course so there are lots of traps. With that wind I am sure its difficult keeping sand in them. But that needs to be addressed.
Windy
It was extremely windy. Made the coarse more difficult. Still a great coarse though.
great course... but not convenient..
Great Weather, and staff BUT
played the Hills course.....which never comes back to clubhouse...
no water or anything to drink or eat on the course..
no food or beverage cart.. no carts in the parking lot
no coolers allowed to put anything in.. bought a domestic 6 pack for $29 including tip.. packed in a plastic bag supposed to last 4.5 hours? ice was gone
by nine.. tip..... pack your own food and drink stuff them in your bag & plan to drink warm whatever on the back.... a shame for a nice course... wont be back soon..just because of that..
Even though breakast and staff were great...
Fun course
This is one of the best rounds I played. It was a good pace throughout the round. The course was in really good shape for this time of year.
Good, moderately challenging course
Have played the course quite a few times and it has always been in good condition as it was this time.
excellent views and forgiving fairways
staff was very friendly, and people we hooked up with were a treat. Greens had been punched (mid October) and posed some tiny bumps ~ but thats expected whenever you punch greens. Fairways in excellent condition and the facility was full of amenities (restaurant, lounge, range, putting practice)
**I will return back again next year when on vacation
Needed a Enforcing Marshal
This was a pleasant course except the pace of play was dragging due to the foursome group a few holes ahead. This group was averaging 25 minutes a hole!!!!!! It was driving my friends and myself crazy. The Marshal talked to the group twice but did not back up his threat of asking them to leave. Or perhaps the Marshal could have made the slow group let a few normal paced players go ahead.
This course is great, challenging, the greens are fast and smooth.
The course s very well maintained, the greens are fast and roll true. From the black tees, the up hill holes make the course longer but the long down hill holes are still able to make par.
Go play it!
Moderate to challenging course depending upon tee selection. Scenery is beautiful. Course was in excellent condition and fun to play. Reward was there for good shot making. Had such a good time am playing it again next week from different tees.
Redhawk Hills course a great place to play
The starter Jack was so helpful and friendly to both myself and my wife,that its a no brainer that we will return!
The pro Ken was so nice to invite us back to play the lakes course next time we came out.
This is a course you can't help but appreciate and enjoy.
Course layout is definitely set up for carts (I'm usually a walker) due to distance to next tee box. Thoroughly enjoyed the challenging course layout and difficulty. Probably would only golf this course with discounted pricing - full price is a bit much.
Our foursome was able to complete our round in 3 hours and 45 minutes. Course was well maintained and in excellent condition on all the fairways and greens. Will play this course again on our next visit to the Reno area.
One of the greatest courses in Reno/Sparks, NV
The course was well-maintained and challenging. The club has two courses (Lakes and Hills). I played the Lakes course based on the recommendation of the starter, who was very friendly. The pace was good and finished the round within 4 hours. The Lake course has many water hazards and bunkers to test your swing accuracy. The greens were well maintained; but tough. It was a enjoyable course for a round of golf
Redhawk - Lakes Course
I booked the round for 2 of us for the Hills course. The starter told us that the Hills was playing slowly that day due to an earlier tournament however, we could play the Lakes course which was wide open. We chose that and the course was clear to play at a great pace. It was fun, there are many sand traps and water hazards. I enjoyed the course, it was challenging and it was in good shape. The only hole I was not crazy about was the par 3, 17th. Very long par 3 demanding all carry over water. My parter is a good golfer but not a long hitter, but there is no place to play that hole if you can't hit a big drive into the wind.
Beautifully kept and spectacular views from all the holes
We play this course every chance we get when Golf Now offers a rate as wonderful as $30.
This course is close to our home and is the most well maintained and pristine course in the entire Reno-Carson City area.
well maintained and a fair test of golf skills.
Played on a rainy day but course held up well. Greens were moderate speed even when wet. Nice layout.
Highly enjoyable course! Highly recommend!
Course was beautiful, and in great shape. Holes were very challenging. GPS on carts was very helpful. Highly recommend - can't wait to play it again!
playable layout
When I played the greens were slow and bumpy. The greens will get better with time
Course was beautiful
I have already talked to numerous friends and coworkers about how great this course was
Course is a must.
This early in the season the course is in good shape; only complaint is the afternoon wind in N. Nevada.
Excellent condition.
Challenging yet playable. Wide fairways with relatively small greens.
