Clubhouse was very hard to find , once I found it they told me I had to walk all the way back to the cart barn to get my cart . It would make more sense to have the clubhouse next to the carts or have carts available at the clubhouse.
Great course conditions, but check-in signage could be improved
Played here on a hot, sunny Sunday, and the course was in great shape. The staff members I encountered were very friendly throughout the day.My only critique is the bag drop-off process. During a previous visit, an attendant took my clubs and loaded them onto a cart for me. This time, no one was at the bag drop. Not wanting to leave my clubs unattended, I approached a cart attendant to ask how the process worked. I learned that if no one is stationed at the drop-off, you are supposed to grab your own cart, fill out the clipboard paperwork on the steering wheel, leave that paperwork on the desk area, and then drive up to the pro shop to check in.I highly suggest management add a clear sign at the bag drop describing this self-service process for golfers when an attendant isn't present. It would prevent confusion for first-time or returning visitors. Other than that minor hiccup, it is a fantastic course and I highly recommend playing here.
Just a breeze!
It’s generally pretty breezy on this course, but today was perfect!
Worst course in Reno/Sparks
They want to charge $100+ for the slowest pace of play and the worst bunkers in the area. They are literally concrete. Might as well hit your shot off the cart path. Ive never experienced such poor pace of play with some of the worst golf etiquette from golfers. If it weren’t for getting peer pressured into buying the Talon Club, Id never waste my time at this course. So many better options for half the price.
Nice but bunkers need attention
Good layout. Traps were not kept up. No sand and puddles of water in most from irrigation. But a good time if you can avoid the bunkers.
Don't want to walk this one!
I would call if you have never been here before... Way confusing on how to do bag drop and then go back to pro shop across the street. If you are going by yourself for the first time I would highly recommend pairing up with someone since the signage on the course is not very clear at some points the sign is behind you at a fork in the sidewalk. Walking the course would be a 20 on a scale of 1-10 for difficulty based on distance to even the first tee Since the golf carts are not allowed in the parkng lot you also have to either carry your bag long distance or just trust that no one will load your clubs in their car while you go get your car. Members definitely have perks with just about everything. I would get a membership if I lived in the area, but for a one day out to play while the wife is busy with a conference it worked for me! Shot an 80 and that is pretty good for me since I had never played the course before and didn't know the nuances of the course. All in all a great day till it rained hard core the last hole and then had to hike a mile with my clubs to the parking lot in the rain... Soaked river rat comes to mind! LOL
Pace of play is very bad
We were 30 minutes behind at the turn and we called it.
Red Hawk - hill course
As always this course is beautifully maintained and has a fun but always challenging layout! The team at red hawk is always above and beyond from the pro shop to the bev cart to the Marshalls.
All around great round
Played this course for the first time. It was a little confusing looking for the clubhouse which is next to the driving range. However had to navigate across the street to get a cart. But that was the only thing I found inconvenient. The staff was amazing from the time I walked into the pro shop. The range was a little crowded on a weekend, but I stayed patient as there was an instructional class going on. Grow the game, right? But the Pro was very helpful with course knowledge about fairways and green slopes. Overall I had a great experience playing the Hills course and look forward to giving the Lakes course a play!
Friendly Staff!
Staff was amazing!! Course is nice and had a great day :)
This course was scenic on every hole.
A totally outstanding course and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
