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.

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.
very nice
Didn't like the fact that it was cart path only on a very windy day, it made the round longer than it should have been
play again
I'd like to play it again without the rain and wind
FAntastic Value
This is a beautiful and well designed course. The views of the Truckee Meadows are astounding. Each hole is challenging without being punitive. Well bunkered, but with entry into each green without forced carry. I played the blue tees and my wife the combos and the par fours very from under 300 yards to over 450 (downhill from blues). Well maintained green complexes running about 10. Give it a try you will not be dissappointed.
Very good value for the money
this is the 2nd time that i played this course. The wind was blowing on this day making the course much more challenging playing up or down hill. I live on the edge of the course and it has been a private only course, so I could only look out and wonder if i was ever going to play.
Play on a private course
My husband and I played this private course a few times while in Reno this summer. The course is a nice layout that winds its way around the homes in the community. Even though the Hills Course is private it gets a lot of play and rounds can take close to 5 hours, or more if there is a tournament.
Unfortunately, due to the freezing temperatures, and lack of snow and rain in the Sierra's this last winter all the courses in Reno were in pretty sad condition.
Both courses at Red Hawk are worth playing but not at the rack rate, and especially for the condition they are currently in.
We played the "Hills" course. A lot of terrain changes on the back 9
One of those courses you have to play twice. We did and shaved a few strokes off. Practice area was nice except hitting off mats.
Good beverage cart service.
Not a "cookie cutter" course. Back nine has a lot of personality. Front nine is also pretty good.
Nice restaurant/bar.
