About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 71
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.

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.

Tee Time and Staff

I had a 11:17AM tee time. They decide to pair me up with 11:26AM group. I showed the guy my reservation with Golf Now showing 11:17AM tee time. He didn't even want to see my reservation confirmation. He just stated that he's form showed 11:26AM and asked me not to make an issue out of it. Maybe an apology is warranted and asked me if I would be okay joining the 11:26AM group. Poor customer service.

Just Ok.

I have played this course a few times and always am disappointed after my round. The course was in very good shape and greens although punched a month or so ago were rolling pretty good. My issue is first with the starter, get a personality and be friendly to the guest. Not acceptable in this industry. Other issues we had were with pace of play. We ended up not finishing since darkness was coming and we skipped a few holes on back nine due to slow play, five some playing not ready golf and lack of the Marshall doing anything to help. If play was 4:15 minute round all would have been good. We skipped a few holes and if not it would have been 5 plus hours. This is not right. Will only play again if I am the first one out.
