Overall decent
I wish pace of play would be enforced when you are single or double constantly pushing a group of 4 and they just stare at you confused gets really old when it’s every round. Also players aren’t fixing ball marks and or repairing divots would be nice to see certain aspects of the game enforced better. Great facility overall nice staff. Not worth the 120 bucks they want for primetime but their twilight is unbeatable and an overall great experience.
Very disappointed
So many disappointments. I’ve played here in the past but have never been this disappointed. It appears like a muni course in regards to course conditions. And on top of it, those beautiful, expensive carts keep restricting your speed when you even get close to the edge of the fairways. Also it restricts you and tells you to stay 30 yards from the green when you are out 70 yards. I won’t be back.
Sparks Red Hawk Lakes
Upon arrival the clubhouse is closed. They send you a quarter mile away to the range area and a smaller golf shop. Course was in decent shape based upon the winter weather this year. Pace was good. Had a noon tee time and was surprised to find that the snack bar was closed also. No indication and planned on eating there. Should have a note on the sign on the course so you don’t waste your time calling when nobody answers. Should have offered a better price if they weren’t quite ready.
Very disappointing
Starting with parking it was a crowded circus. I went to the wrong check in….not that they are labeled. Carts are programmed to slow down in many places even though you are not in a sensitive area. There are basically no trees to be had, fairways run to the ‘lakes’ which are cemented retention ponds. I quit after 9 holes, this is the worst course I have played at the over $100 range.
Downhill
This course has really gone downhill. Conditions were terrible. Tee boxes uneven. Fairways filled with divots. Un raked bunkers. Burnt greens. No marshal so the pace of play as terrible.
Redhawk Lakes
Nice course in average condition. I'd play it again for $40 but the full rack rate is a bit steep.
Don't know how to give a good rating when course was closed
Would love to get a refund being course was closed don't know how to get ahold of golf pass bought through to teeoff would've loved to play the course but I'm out a hundred dollars and didn't get to play
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.
Great experience
Wish there was more amenities on the course available while playing but all in great experience and challenge for anyone experience or Rookie player to enjoy them selves
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.
