Hill's course
I was told it was wide open, we were a 3some, behind a 4some and they played TV Golf the whole round.It was slow for sure and the marshal did nothing. the Hills course is the best maintained of the two.
Solid choice in Reno / Sparks
A fine little course where everything is just right out in front of you. Not much trouble to get into, but somewhat of a target golf course from the white tees. The conditions were really good, the greens rolled true and fast, and overall a great outing and a fun place to play.
Fun time
Played the Hills course. Everything a out the course was great. As others have mentioned, locating the golf shop, arranging the cart and finding the first was a bit tedious for a first time visit. My only knock would be about rental clubs. They were advertised as new Calloway clubs. Brand doesn't matter but the clubs were in very poor condition. I would still go again.
great day
All good, introduced 2 new guys to RH, they too were impressed
Over priced
The old man starter is miserable. Never friendly. No one will tell you about any type of course conditions. Greens had recently been punched. Would have been nice to know. Absurdly overpriced course for what you get. I am excited for when they tear it down and build houses on the course
Overpriced Mediocrity
The fact that this course charges well over $100 (almost $200!in peak season) is laughable. The conditions reflect a $60 course and that is being very generous. The bunkers are basically concrete with rocks and weeds. The starter is miserable and would be better suited working at the DMV. To any out of towners, take this advice from a local that plays multiple times a week: spend your money on another course. Lakeridge is less money and in 10x better shape. Even the munis like Washoe and Sierra Sage are in better shape, not to mention their staffs are much friendlier. Right now you can literally play Grizzly Ranch for the same price, which is a premium nationally ranked course
Fun time right
I played Hills a couple of weeks ago and wanted to give Lakes a try. It was a fun course. Like Hills, you could hit your driver on almost every par 4 and par 5. I hit my driver a lot better on the Hills course then I did on the Lakes course...but that's another story. A lot of dogleg right holes on Lakes but you need to carry water or hit it straight to get to fairway. Conditions around the greens were not the best and the bunkers were not in the best shape. Greens are large and for the most part easy to read. Both courses get expensive and IMO are not worth the full rake rate, if you get a GolfNow deal or some other deal these are good tracks to play. Prostaff, starter, marshall and cart guys are professional.
check-in was horrible and so was parking
Here’s why I wouldn’t recommend this to anybody number one. You go to check-in and ask him where do I get my car and they said oh you gotta go back and get in your car and drive about a half mile to this and then you check in there. But the parking is pretty far away so you gotta walk a lot when you finally get your car they go in slow motion down to 2 miles an hour in spot so it takes forever to get back to the range. By this time, you don’t have any time to warm up then the second reason is slow play. The front was quick cause we had nobody in front of our foursome, but man, the back was playing about two hours and 50 minutes so I had to quit after whole 16 and then I had to take the super slow drive back to the cart barn.
Beautiful day
Had an amazing time out on the course today!! I can't believe how great in shape to course was today. For March the greens were rolling true and the fairways looked really good. Eat at David's after, the food was so good and the staff was very friendly. All around a perfect day at Red Hawk!
Fun track
I love a course that allows you to hit a driver on all par 4's and 5's. This course does exactly that for me. Course was in good shape. Got a great golf now deal. Course layout from bag drop to 18th hole is a giant maze...
I had trouble on all par 3's...guess my driver was working too well! Enjoy the round. I hear it gets crowded, but not on this day.
Great Afternoon Outting.
The starter was a grumpy old bugger, when I approached and asked how it was going he responded “busy” as if I was bothering him. The young lady on the beverage cart on the other hand was exceptionally gracious and even requested to stay late to make sure she was able to offer us another round on the back nine. Overall it was a nice day and I’ll likely be back.
