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.

Great greens
This course was beautiful… first time playing it the greens excellent……. Fairways are great …. Loved the layout…… played in the afternoon and the wind blew about 30 so be aware……
Great day for golf
Course was in great shape, greens were awesome, staff was great, I'll be back!!
A good, slow time
The Red Hawk facilities are some of the nicest publicly offered to the reno area. The club house and practice area are exactly what you would expect at the price point but this place struggles with one major thing: pace of play. Anytime i am spending over 40 dollars for a round, i have a higher expectation of how the day will go. Unfortunately we spent our round following a kid top his 3 wood for triple par on every hole while dad made him run to his ball. I totally understand “everyone starts somewhere” but there are so many other courses better suited towards bringing someone new into the game. Although it was slow, the weather was nice and the course played well. The greens were lightning and regardless of any gripes, anytime i am out on the golf course is a good time. All in all, wasnt pleased with the pace but i will continue to go back to red hawk as the course is one of the better ones in the area.
Windy
We have played the Hills course the last three weeks. It's in as good of shape as any course in town.( It's still May) It was windy and it was the Hills course, it is a good course and we got a good deal on a windy day.
Golfing
Great day, nice price thanks to golfnow. The Hills was in.great shape, friendly staff as always, all around beautiful day for golf.
First time playing here
This is a good solid golf course.The course was in good shape except for the sand traps. They need sand in them badly. The greens were the only ones during the week that were not slow.They were not fast, just not slow. The course has some decent variety, especially the back nine. The first 6 holes or so are flat then it goes up and down the hills.The carts were very nice and had GPS that worked great.The carts have GPS which don't let you go on certain parts of the course which I understand, but sometimes it is overdone.The staff was helpful and very friendly.
Golf
Nice day for golf, staff were awesome, course was in great shape. Nice day to play golf in Sparks Nevada!
Better
We played it last week, it's getting better every week.
Nice day
I haven't played the Hills course in a while. We got a very good deal on it the 142.80 was for four of us. The course is in as good of shape as any in the area at this time of year. The greens are starting to come around the fairways are getting green. There was a group in front of us (not slow or fast) no one behind us. No wind sunny day 75 degrees nice, nice day just what your looking for.
Good Course...Horrible Carts
The Hills course was in good shape for this time of year. The course was setup well and challenging for a veteran golfer, but not unforgiving (lot's of "Member Bounces"). The issue I had was with the Carts. They are computer controlled. and are OVERLY cautious. They adjust speed too much, the screens are horrible. The GPS doesn't work correctly, and throws tons of warnings. It told me I needed to be back on the cart path and it slowed me to a crawl (literally), however, I was ON the cart path.. This needs to be resolved! The Greens had just been punched, but barely effected the putting rolls.
Windy condition Fast Greens
Did I say WInd oh yea. 3 put were common as the wind was blowing. I would love to play this in less wind.
