Course Highlights
Red Hawk's dramatic elevation changes and challenging high-desert layout consistently earn praise from golfers seeking an exciting round. Exceptionally friendly staff and well-maintained greens make this Reno-area course a welcoming destination worth revisiting.

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.

Great Day!

I was really excited to play this course and it didn't disappoint. Although getting to the Pro Shop was a bit of a challenge - there could be better signage to the Pro Shop. There's plenty of signs for the 1st Tee, but one can't assume the way to the 1st Tee means the same as the Pro Shop to check in. The course is definitely NOT a walking course - it is over a mile to just to get to the 1st Fee from the pro shop! The course is well maintained, and the green are fast. We thoroughly enjoyed the day! Going back to play the Lakes next...

6hr round of golf anybody?

I am not usually one to complain about playing golf, even if it’s a bit slow. I get it. But EVERY TIME I play here it’s a joke! This last round (6/17/24) was a weekday and no joke it took six hours to play 18 holes! Everybody was getting impatient which lead to the foursome behind us hitting in to our group twice. The rangers do nothing to speed up play, the starter stacks everybody on top of each other. Very frustrating! Takes the fun out of the game.. glad I didn’t pay the ridiculous full price they ask.

Hills

Enjoyed playing this course. It was moderately challenging. Greens need some work and the course rough needed some care. Staff were very friendly. Would recommend this course to friends.

Nice

It's a nice course haven't played it in awhile.The staff is always nice. The course is in good condition. It was hot, catch 22 not a lot of people because it was hot. Got off a little early nobody in front or behind. Just a nice pace we weren't getting pushed, we weren't pushing anyone.
