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.

About

Length 7106 yards
Slope 127
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.

Very nice course

First time playing at Red Hawk played the hills course. We started the morning having a great breakfast at David’s and checked into the golf shop. The staff was extremely friendly and efficient. Course played well and the greens were fast. We will play at Red Hawk again might try the Lake course next time.

Not worth the money

The course itself is in decent condition. At over 100 bucks a round, I’d rather play in Tahoe. This place is clearly trying to reimburse themselves for the new golf carts, employee uniforms and new pavers at the driving range. Beyond these items, nothing justifies the insane cost.

Course Hills

I was somewhat disappointed with the general course condition. The sand traps were in poor condition. There were many areas on the fairways bare or browns and greens were in just fair condition. Years past the course was in better condition at this time of year.

Sandy Greens

I wish they would of told us before we booked that the greens were just pluged and full of sand. They also did not say anything about the High School tournament that was going on which we could not use the driving range or the putting greens.

Excellent Course

The course was in really good shape with great views!

This is my favorite course in the Reno area. It is also my home course as I am only 5 minutes from course.

Also really like the pro shop with excellent products and selections. David’s Grill also has very good food.

Another Great GolfNow Pass Deal

For the money, this has got to be one of the better deals in the Reno / Tahoe area. The course was in immaculate condition, considering it is early spring in Reno / Sparks. Brand new carts with all the essential features. Hoping for more GolfNow / TeeOff Golf Pass Deals for this course on an ongoing basis. Golfed with my son visiting the area from the DC / Northern Virginia area and he was equally as impressed.
