Beautiful Course and Scenery
RedHawk is a great course with an inviting atmosphere. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience that much better. The pace of play is smooth and enjoyable, and the course layout offers a nice mix of shot variety. Several holes are quite challenging, keeping the round exciting for players of all levels. Overall, RedHawk delivers a fun and well-run golfing experience.
This course has an abundance of wster
A bunch of water , many wetlands . Lost a lot of balls . It is a fun course . We got a good deal .
Way overpriced for what you get
Our round took 5 hours and 7 minutes to play. I saw one Marshall and he was just driving around and didn’t do anything to speed things up. The greens were a little torn up, the bunkers were rock hard. The fairways and rough were good. The carts are super annoying and automatically slow down at random. For almost $150 a head this course should have been a home run. Instead it was an overpriced, longgg day on a course only a few notches up from a muni. However I would play again if it was cheaper and the pace was a lot faster because it does have some good views.
Red Hawk lake course
Played in the afternoon and the pace of play was slow. Almost did not finish the round due to other groups of players cutting in front of my foursome as the sun started to set. Did not see a marshal after 5pm on the course to help regulate the pace of play causing several minutes of delay on the last five holes.
Perfect Weather with Great Views
Course is a resort style, easy to have fun and enjoy the views.
Hills is just an expensive muni
The Hills was the worst conditions ive ever seen red hawk. It’s the same conditions as the local courses you can play for $40. Wildly over priced for what it is currently. Wont play Hills again. I’ll go to washoe and save $100
Poor facility design
The 1st tee and Pro Shop are located about 1/4 mile from cart pickup. Conversely the 18th hole ends the same 1/4 mile from the Pro Shop & 1st tee.
Redhawk Lakes Course
Fantastic course, greens were in exceedingly excellent condition and overall had a great time!
Mediocre course at presidential prices
Grass was only in okay condition and we’re barely even into the heat of summer yet. Sand traps were in horrible condition.. I’m talking worse than $30 Sierra Sage. Three of the five employees we came into contact with had horrible attitudes- the only cool folks were the marshal and the cart girl. The pro shop attendant, starter and bartender were all complete a-holes. We were also stuck behind an unannounced women’s tournament that took nearly SIX HOURS to finish 18. Rather than paying $120 per round for this nonsense we’ll gladly never come back and instead get two or three wonderful rounds at Sage, Washoe County or Sun Ridge, all of which are just as nice and have gas carts with far more comfortable seats. This place is insanely priced for no reason to speak of. One and done
Shoddy outside of the greens
Read some reviews and should have headed the warning : the bunkers are a joke . I guess you'll be ok if you never hit a fairway or greenside bunker .
Fairways sketchy. The greens were in great shape. Would have been extremely disappointed if we had payed their normal peak green fees.
Great Course
My sister and I enjoyed red hawk from the beginning to the end. The staff was amazing. Everyone we encountered were friendly and had great insights on the course. Will be visiting the course in the future.
Good course play was SLOW
This is a great course in the Reno area not too far from the strip in the hotels I have played both horses and decided to play on a Monday and it was extremely slow in the afternoon and no apologies from the Marshall just to well that's how it is sometimes. I explained I came in from out of town to play his horse and it was well thank you but sometimes it's slow and you just have to wait so believe I will be checking out another courses next time I'm in Reno.
Not Worth the Price Tag
Played Red Hawk Hills recently, and while the round wasn’t bad, it certainly didn’t justify the $130 green fee.
The course itself is... fine. Conditions were average—greens and fairways were playable but nothing special. The layout didn’t stand out, and the overall experience felt like something you'd expect from a $70–$80 course, not one charging nearly double that.
Pace of play was slow with no visible course management, and the amenities were underwhelming for the price. No range balls included, carts were basic, and clubhouse service was minimal. At this price point, you expect at least one element—course quality, service, or scenery—to be exceptional. Unfortunately, none of them were.
Red Hawk Hills isn’t a bad place to golf, but if you're paying $130, there are better values elsewhere. Wouldn’t rush back unless the rates come down significantly.
Overpriced
This course is fine, but they're charging way too much for it. Hence all the open tee times compared to Duncan courses. Course is in reasonable shape and pace of play is ok, but for $100+, I'd rather go play Whitehawk or Grizzly Ranch. If you can get on this course for $80, it's fine, but it's not worth what they're currently charging.
Great people, great food, average course
Elevation changes are dramatic. That is the most interesting thing about the Hills course.
Fairways had bare spots, greens were in great shape and rolled true. My biggest issue playing the course for the first time was many of the uphill approaches to the greens were almost invisible. They just blended into the surrounding hills.
I found the layout pretty average, nothing that really got me excited.
Red Hawk Red Hot
The course for middle of June in Reno was outstanding. Water hazards are full and beautiful. The sandtraps could use a little work but maybe that's because I was in them all day. Overall, great experience all around!
