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.

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. .
Scenic Well Conditioned Course
Generous fairways with small green presenting
decent challenges. Staff amiable and overall experience was great. Playing mid afternoon provided great value!
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.
great course with great views
the hills course was a lot of fun to play. Bunkers could use a little bit of work. Butt other than that it was a great course and I had a fabulous time.
This course qualifies one of top favorites in Nevada.
The course layouts were exceptional along with great greens that had great roll when putting.
Staff was very professional. The golf carts were the BEST I have ever encounter.
The price was excellent, too
Great place.
It was a great day and a beautiful place to play. A little spendy on the drinks but with the carts and extras and staff, makes it worth it!!!
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!
Great value
Course was in excellent shape and have 5 different tees for players of any level to enjoy. Clubhouse staff was very helpful. Great course for the price we paid on Golf Now.
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.
