The Hills Course at Red Hawk
Rating Snapshot
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.

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.
Saint Patrick's Day Golf
We had a great day playing Redhawk - Hills. The staff is great and the course is well maintained. Thank you.
Too crowded
At the time of booking didn’t mentioned that it was car path only as well as it was a shot gun start.
Redhawk
First time playing the hills and i enjoyed it just as much as the lakes. Great set of courses, great place
Good course
The course is in pretty good shape for this time of year!
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.
Great course
The course was great, lots of elevation changes. Unfortunately it was very windy the day we played but other than that it was great!
Red Hawk Hills
Course was in nice condition, some traps were bare.
Capitalizing on Covid
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.
