Red Hawk Golf Club

It was the first time I was playing the course as I was visiting my brother who lives in the area, he had played it once before. We made a tee time for what should've been plenty of time to finish 18. However because of cold weather in the morning, all tee times were backed up a good hour. We were warned about the backup and arrived at the course accordingly. It was borderline enough time to finish at that point, so we had to pay for 18. But we ended up waiting on every hole, actually every shot and it dragged out forever! Hit the ball, wait 5 minutes or more, and hit it again... Very frustrating on a chilly windy day! And then the course was torn up from one end to the other and in terrible shape, huge bare spots and patch jobs everywhere. It looked like they were putting an interstate right through the whole course! Of course we didn't see a marshal until it was getting late in the day, when we were told we had to have the carts back in a half hour in spite of there being a good hour of light left and we were only on the 8th hole! We ended up playing more than the half hour finishing on 10 and getting grief from the marshal. When we got back to the clubhouse the pro shop was already closed, so we were out of luck trying to get any of our money back. This is by far, THE WORST golfing experience I have ever had!! I wouldn't recommend this so called "course" to my worst enemy. Other than the nice sunset, this bombed out excuse for a golf course has no redeeming qualities!!!

Played here for the 6th time since November and it is improving each time I play. Greenest course in the region by far and being a foot or two off the fairway was almost always just as advantageous as being in the fairway. Felt like my ball was teed up for approach shots into greens that held the ball pretty well. Overall, love seeing the improvements and can’t wait to see the full potential of Red Hawk!

It would have been nice to know that the course is still under construction. It was cart path only on every hole, I would have rather walked nine than pay 70.00 apiece for cart path only on every hole. There were construction workers, equipment and the “beeping” of backing up equipment everywhere. And when asked how it was at the end if the round and I told her it would have been nice to know the course was under construction on the golf now website, she replied they had nothing to do with that. That the course did not control what was said on Golf now’s website which I thought was a ridiculous answer. The course will be great one day despite all of the ball marks and other issues, but not today.

I should have looked at the local reviews of this course. The cart girl was great!

Red Hawk Golf Course Green is a little fast, and fairways still have a lot of things to fix

The course had a lot of areas that under repair. The greens were hard to hold and very fast. But a nice course overall.

Got a Hot Deal to play here, with a citibank voucher. Which is irrelevant! Played mid-February during cart path only play, as a single, behind another single. Only saw two other groups during my round.

Starter was so nice to chat with, reminded me of cart path only and sprinkler schedule, as well as advice on playing the ongoing course renovation ground areas still exposed as bare earth (which was mostly wet from sprinklers). Nonetheless… I would play Red Hawk again exactly in these conditions and can’t wait to be back in Las Cruces to play when the renovations are complete. The views of the Organ mountains on most holes were so nice, even with encroaching urban developments in the area.

Fairways and tee boxes were in excellent condition; the yellow waste areas made finding colored errant shots not too difficult. Snake warnings are posted, so beware if entering waste areas.

There was a lot of wind that day, which later developed into a dust/sandstorm after my round ended… all these made my round even more special as I made adjustments for wind direction and speed. The course layout ensured wind would help drives on some shots, but hamper others. Putting varied due to the sprinklers in use, as well as some of the more intense winds.

All-in… I hope to be back to play in the next few months.

Cart path only all 18 holes. Push carts not available, and course is 50% grass 40% mud 10% dirt not including bunkers

The course layout is very challenging which I like. It is under construction, so I will give it some grace but with so much green under repair it slow down pace of play. Can’t wait to see the new clubhouse.

Very friendly staff. Love the lay out. Good greens. Good fairways, with a few sections under repair. Theyre doing some renovations too so its looking to get even better!

Looks like this was a very nice and challenging course at one time but now everything but the greens are in horrible condition. There is so much dirt in the fairways you can't tell from the rough, there are just big dirt areas everywhere at the sides and in the fairways, are they natural areas or dead areas or what? All the bunkers had new sand but also had weed fabric sticking out all around them and dirt all around them, they did seem to be working on the course but what happened?

Love the course layout. Lots of construction both on the course and in the surrounding desert.

Played here many times and used Golfnow to book before. There was no notes that the course would be under repair and would have to do gart path only for 18 out of 18 holes. Resulting in very slow play.

The new club house (been promised for 10 years) is under construction. They suggested six more months of work. Looks like it ought to be a terrific upgrade but access is congested right now. At the same time they decided to rework the bunkers so lots of them are presently GUR.

I liked the layout and the scenery. Greens, fairways and tees were pretty decent.

Always enjoy playing the hawk but the course condition does not match the $80 price tag they are charging. Since them and Sanoma are one and the same they kinda have a monopoly on golf in cruces. Wait and play at 11-12 at NMSU with ridiculously slow pace of play or pay the $80 at the Hawk or the Ranch. Both are in poor condition but what can you do. I play painted Dunes in El Paso or Turtleback in T or C when I can. Both are always in good shape with excellent pace of play and the price blows The Hawk and Ranch away. Great staff but they need to get the course condition to match premium price being charged.

The course is rapidly degrading. Some fairways are mud/dirt. Lots of ballparks on the greens from inconsiderate golfers. It seems all the attention has been diverted to the ridiculously large new clubhouse/event center. I hope they have events booked everyday for the next 10 years, because this town will never be able to sustain it as a golf club.

The course was in rough shape and muddy. Extremely difficult to find ball in rough. The new bunker bordered are scattered with weeds. Not worth playing at this time.
