On the Fence - My First Trip to Reno, Nevada

1. I was not told there was a high school event going on the Lakes course which would significantly slow down play, and was also not given the option to switch to their other course (Hills). The only way to get 18 holes in (<5hrs) was to play the front nine twice - temperature was in the high 40's to low 50's.

2. Compared to the other two courses played over the first 4 days of my 7 day trip to Reno, my experience playing courses nationally and internationally, this course was dry and in good condition, yet it was limited to cart path only.

3. I do have problems walking for long periods of time and have a handicap sticker, but was refused any assistance each time I asked. Even a 90 degree accommodation would have been helpful. Needless to say, I was in too much pain after this experience to play anymore golf for the rest of the week.

4. Would I recommend this course to a friend? That depends on whether they are white or black. Was I being profiled? I do not know. I hope not.

Redhawk Lakes

Considering the harsh winter, which we are still in, the fairways were in above average condition. The greens were in excellent condition. I enjoyed it so much that I'm playing it again next week.

Poor service, poor pace of play, no food.

Played behind a fivesome that had no clue what they were doing. When I called to reserve the person taking calls was “pretty sure” it was regular greens and carts. Couldn’t get ahold of the pro shop and there was no food at the turn.

Northern Nevada Winter Golf

It’s been a good winter for the Sierra snowpack, which means trying to squeeze in a round of golf has been especially rough this year.

Great to get out and swing a club, but disappointed that we had to deal with temporary greens, hence the low green fees

Not as good as it used to be

I like Red Hawk, both the Hills and Lakes Courses are fun to play and the facilities are nice. Good food and friendly staff. The course conditions have gotten worse year over year and are struggling to keep in good condition. That being said, it is still a fun track and I will be back.

Great weather, nice course, but ...

I've played Red Hawk a ton in the 20+ years it's been open. It's a really good track and a good test of golf.

I'll also say that Red Hawk does a great job with pace of play at both courses. There's days when you show up and see a packed parking lot and feel a five-hour round coming on but it's almost always four or just over, in my experience.

This round showed a growing problem with courses and GolfNow/TeeOff, however -- the lack of the course accurately conveying conditions through the booking website.

We showed up and learned it was cart path-only. Understandable but there was one member of our group who was not physically in a good place for that.

Whether cart path only or temporary greens or carts have to be back in by a certain time, it's problematic enough that I won't be renewing my GolfPass membership. GolfNow/TeeOff blames the courses and the courses blame the website. Have had enough.

Great course.

The Lakes course is the go to for this area. Good course, challenging and the amenities are excellent. Comfortable carts and smooth cart paths throughout the course. The greens for this particular round were in excellent shape for this time of year.

did actually play the Lakes course. Over booked the course so had to play the Hills. It was not a bad track, .Greens were extremely fast and bumpy with lots of break.

Nice day

Pace of play was great considering the course was packed. Seemed a little under-staffed.

Greens are firm but receptive.

Only quibble is a lvl of consistency with the bunkers. Some are soft and fluffy. Others (around 9, for example) are hard-packed.

The sand

I've played the course many times before it's a nice course and it's in good shape. The thing that impressed most of all was the sand they had it filled recently making it some of the best in town.
