The Hills Course at Red Hawk

Course was in nice condition, some traps were bare.

This is a decent course even though the staff is almost always rude. Their latest move during the pandemic is to force singles to share a cart with other singles they don't know. They just bought all new carts, which are nice (except no club cleaner on cart) and they're obviously trying to recoup their investment quickly.

So if you're a single, and you're worried about Covid, play somewhere else.

The course was in great shape and fun to play, but the fires in the Sierras have made for difficult times this summer. Smoke was bad and impacted the entertainment value.

I enjoyed the play and the course was well maintained. A couple of thoughts:

1. Smoke in the area was choking and was a distraction. Some information in advance of play on how to mitigate personally would be a good touch.

2. Because there is no getting back to the club house until after the round is over, a kiosk or portable snack/drink vendor between 8 or 9 or after 10 would be a great treat especially during the summer. Cart around the course was ok if timing was better for some of the groups.

The course is in very good shape, the air was very smokey.

Course is in great shape, staff was awesome. Had a great time. Defiantly will be back!

Thoroughly enjoy playing this course while in Reno. Must have cart ( included)

Great track! Saw antelope on 10, great experience while playing. David's grill has exceptional food too. Only issue, no outside food or beverages....never saw a food/beverage cart the entire round:(

First time playing and it was a blast. the hills is challenging but played to me and my friends skill set. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!!

Easily one of the nicest courses in the northern Nevada region. Nice layout, staff was professional and course is well maintained.

First of all I’ve been hearing for years about how wonderful this course was I found it to be average or a little bit below. If it wasn’t for golf now I would never have booked a reservation for over the $33.55 I paid a round of golf at this course is not worth more than that! First off there is no communication upfront when you pick up your cart on what you were allowed to bring with you or what you were allowed to carry in your cart nor is there any communication about how many carts you are allowed to have per person or if you have to share a cart if there’s only two people. When we finally got to the point to check in with the last person at this little booth before we entered into the course we got stopped by an older gentleman who was very standoffish and somewhat sarcastic. He demanded that we share a cart I was playing with a friend who is a much larger individual and I am not small in any way shape or form. I also had a cooler with water and a sandwich inside I was told that wasn’t allowed on the course. The attendant made me drive all the way back to the cart lot where, I then had to carry my cooler all the way back to the car where I pad to park about a 1/6 of a mile away from where the carts were at bc they are all gps controlled and won’t let you drive outside the cart path before the course. Not sure why that is but I’m guessing they don’t have much trust in their community and or customers. I Found this very frustrating and inconvenient to the fact that there is nobody communicating this to you before you get to the last point of return before you play golf so I had to turn around and make an extra trip there and back because they don’t manage the property very well. So after I returned from dropping my cooler of water and food back off at the car because the tiny cooler they give you can only fit maybe three or four water bottles in it and that’s it, i finally reached the cart again. I asked one of the cart attendants if it was true that we weren’t allowed to have our own carts I explain to him that my buddy had not been vaccinated yet and I didn’t feel comfortable sharing a cart and also we are two bigger men and it’s just not practical for us to be sharing a cart with each other and I did mention that our reservations was a pre-paid per person and we were each entitled to a cart in the description on what we paid for from the golf course on the Golfnow app The cart attendant nicely explained that that shouldn’t be a problem just explain the situation to the guy at the desk where I had been sent back from before. I finally returned to the last point before we started to golf again where my friend had to wait for 20 minutes while I was dropping everything off and returning to this desk with the attendant who seems to be managing who enters the golf course and not doing a very good job at it because we got stuck behind three groups of people and one was a group of five not letting anyone pass the entire time we played the course I found that there was a few twosomes in front of us at times just laying in the shade at the tee box waiting for the 5 group of players all playing together to move on. Well I never once saw a Marshall on the course until the 17th hole and then he was very polite enough to come up and ask how we got stuck behind a fivesome and I told him I was just about to ask you the same thing isn’t this your course! He replied very humorously, that’s so much to tell him this isn’t Bushwood (caddy shack reference). Anyways I still had fun, My partner left after the 12th hole because of how slow the play was and he just went home I stayed and finished, still as irritated as I was for many reasons with how this place was run; I found the most frustrating part was the carts don’t make any noise when you are entering an area that the card is going to shut down because it is considered out of bounds or areas they don’t want you driving the cart like into the rough approaching the rough on the parallel fairway. Several times my cart got stuck and just shut off and I had to push it for 30 or 40 yards with just deadweight going up a hill several times I looked up at the screen to see if there was any indication I was driving in a close area to where I wasn’t supposed to be and there was no warning, no noise, nothing! Honestly I will not be returning.

Good job by this course playing well to members, locals, and travelers alike.

This course offers a bit of challenge without getting frustrating. It also offers beautiful surroundings, GPS guidance, and resort style features.

Of course we have seen better overall experiences but those come at a heavy price. I would say this compares with courses that command $100-$125 per round. I am not suggesting they raise prices. They still don't offer car valet, club washing, bag service, airport shuttle, misting stations, and other service related offerings. They are good at what they do.

The service was also top notch with the sole exception coming from the starter who copped an attitude over another employees decision.
