Tough condition
Made it tough conditions just because of cart path only. But great time , definitely will play again.
great day
With 60 degrees in February, it was a great day for a round.
I hav not played the Hills course a lot since it opened -- this was my fourth round -- but I am enjoying it more and more each time.
There's great variety on this course, with elevation changes, undulating fairways and greens, and more. From the Blue tees, there are par-4s as short as 282 yards and as long as 456.
I learn more about this course each time I play it and it keeps getting better. I'll look forward to coming back.
While the weather played a factor in the number of people on the course, we played a longer-than-necessary round as the course allowed groups of two, two and three ahead of us to join into two fivesomes.

This is a fine course, which can play very long from the back tees, but is relatively shorter from the senior tees.
I enjoy playing this course and recommend it all golfers.
Fun day!
Course was in good shape. Had a great day. In the sun pretty much all day on a somewhat chilly day so made it feel warm all day. Couple of funny things about the course, Not a down fall but funny. First thing make sure to write down your score if you want it. Luckily I saw it but didn’t write it down, as your driving back the gps/scorecard resets so lost my score. You see the club house once. If you hungry bring snacks or grab something from the cart girl. That’s the only time food is an option. Course is long somewhat challenging, definitely have to be straight. Some holes are forgiving some are not.
Good for winter time
Expensive course versus others in area. Slow play
Cart Path Only
Take a nice layout at smart gos carts and mix in some stubbornness and yiu get a 5 hr round for no reason. Cart path only golf on a dry track .. ridiculous
Cart path only
Was very disappointed when arriving at first tee. No note when securing tee time that it was cart path only. I understand the need after rain etc but the course was dry and fairways brown because if winter time. I have physical challenges and would not have booked this prepaid tee time. I even inquired about using 90 degree rule. But still a hard “No” Carts are electronically controlled so 10 feet off path they stop. Very sad they didn’t feel the need to help with an ADA needs golfer. Done with RedHawk.
Winter conditions
We didn't have to wait for any of the holes. However, there was no starter (It was very cold in the morning) so I suspect that might have been the issue.
The greens were still hard from an overnight freeze and some are in poor condition.
That is not the fault of the course though. That is the fault of golfers NOT fixing their pitch marks!
I am going to play Redhawk again, but in the spring!
Great course. Ridiculous cart policy.
Carts were forbidden on the fairways which slows play and makes it very difficult to judge distances. The grass was dry and dormant, so is the policy related to weather conditions? Carts have GPS which is great, but if you can't drive the cart to your ball, what purpose does it serve? Driving range is mats only and they charge $10 for a "large" bucket which was laughable.
Great overall experience
Really enjoyed the course. Box, fairway, greens were all very well kept, even the bunkers were soft. There was frost in the morning which caused an hour delay in tee times, the only bad thing I could say about the experience, but it gave me an opportunity on their range which was good. And there were a couple of marshals I saw carting around encourage everyone to play at a quicker pace when possible. I suggest getting on their practice green for a bit it played pretty close to what I experienced on the course. They were fast for me on that day, I'm assuming because of the frost.
