The Hills Course at Red Hawk
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.

Fast greens
Never 3 putt so many greens in my life. Fully enjoyed the round. Going back to play the lanes course in a few days.
Best course
Always five star service course is always dailed in
Course was nice but pace was sloooow!
Only one course was open so there may have been some spill over but the course was overbooked, and golfers were backed up. Lots of waiting at Tee boxes...
Sli e of Heaven
I have been trying to golf RedHawk for awhile and finally had an opportunity to. The weather held being it was a cloudy day, the course was in great shape, and the staff was friendly. The scenic views are amazing.
Every time I come to Reno I look forward to golfing at Redhawk.
Got a huge discount through Tee-Off, otherwise never play it. RedHawk is way to proud of there facility and the green fees they normally charge.
Course was in good shape for this early in the season.
Wild up and down ride thru the hills above Reno.
Fun course in good shape. Lots of interesting holes with lightning fast greens. Good amount of elevation change with very windy conditions makes for a good challenge.
Lovely Course
It's wide open and very nicely maintained. Greens were in wonderful shape. Lots of ups and downs and lots of fowl and fowl poop (which I don't mind as I love the birds). Will try the Lakes course sometime!
Good value and conditions-Very slow!
My first time playing Red Hawk. Anything under $100 for weekend play is quite reasonable. The greens were VERY fast, and the rest of the course was in great shape. The only issue we had was the pace was VERY slow. Groups were waiting until well after it was safe to hit to do so which really extended the day.
Food in clubhouse
After playing a round of 18 holes, we went to eat dinner at the grill. It was the worst food I’ve ever eaten in Reno, and definitely the worst I’ve ever had at a golf course. Two of our appetizers were inedible and entrees were mediocre. Such a great golf course and should definitely have better food than that. It was disgusting. Thanks for a great round.
