A little dry, rude members

I enjoy this course, its a nice layout and has good distance from Gold tees. Every time I play here the members are just rude, a lot of people 60+ in age.

We had a group behind us hit into our golf cart two times, and one time onto the green when we were on it, I was polite cause they were seniors but they felt entitled to do this cause they are members.

The 5 people ahead of us were abusing the greens so we were fixing 3 divots on each green.

Course; 6/10

Greens are very dry, we teed off at 7:20am so no excuse, they should be soft and damp. Not hard and dry, running too fast for regulation speeds.

Fairways were very chewed up, and short. But most had enough water, on 6 holes my tee shot was actually plugged into the ground which is not good course management if the fairways are this wet they will get abused.

For $60 to play, I compare to great courses. I just played Whitney Oaks in Rocklin for $35 and it is in perfect shape, reno is a bit proud.

If you are looking for a new course to play, try Red Hawk. If you want a great designed course that is more challenging, try Dayton Valley or Eagle Valley.

Great Course - Staff Needs Lessons in Customer Service

My wife and I played here while vacationing in the Reno area. We got a GolfNow Hot Deal which was $40 each. Beasutiful setting. Two courses - the Lakes is down in the valley floor and the Hills, which we played, climbs the hills on the side of the valley. That means you have to deal with less water, but more elevation changes. There were several holes where good shots were punished due to the sidehill fairways.

Greens and tees were in great shape. Fairways were OK., but nothing more. The bunkers were a mess and highly variable. Some were like wet concrete and others had 8" of fluffy sand.

Our lasting impression, unfortunately, will be of a staff that was unfriendly and didn't seem to care (except for the starter who as OK. When we arrived, the staff stood by and watched while we unloaded our own clubs. The women behind the counter in the pro shop seemed like we were interrupting their conversation - bad attitude. Beverage cart attendent seemed to have an attitude. When we returned. the outside staff ignored us while we unloaded our clubs off the cart and carried them out to the car. Overall, we didn't feel welcome and we won't be back.

OK, but...

Haven’t played this course in years and looked forward to the round. All grass areas were in pretty good shape. “Sand” traps were more like wet gravel pits. Got lost several times between holes because of missing signs. Fairway yardage is almost impossible to determine unless you have a range finder. Maybe the Lakes Course gets more attention? I won’t play here again unless I get a good deal on the fee.

Nice day, enjoyable round

Played this course several times in the past two years. My only complaint regards the golf balls and mats at the range. The balls are horrible, and the mats need to be replaced. This is a resort quality facility, but the range is muni-quality.

Staff is very friendly. I got to play by myself with their approval.

Great course!

Red Hawk Hills (& Lakes) courses are probably the best semi-private courses in the Reno/Tahoe area, especially with the frequent Hot Deals available on GolfNow.com. My wife and I played the Hills course on a Friday and found it in the usual great shape. When in the Tahoe area we frequently make the trip from Tahoe City to play Red Hawk because of the good course conditions and reasonable prices.

beautiful day

Play here a lot but it has been awhile. The course is in very good shape right now. The greens were almost healed from being punched earlier. The ball rolled fine with hardly any deflection from the healing bumps. The fairways and rough were in excellent condition. Now to their practice facility. For the money people pay to play at Red Hawk you should be able to hit off their large grass range, but instead they have you hitting off some sort of "carpet" which is on top of cement, not good. They do have a good sized putting green, but their chipping green is a joke. There are other public courses in Sparks that have much better practice facilities than Red Hawk. Their practice facility has been this way for a long time so I guess nothing is going to change any time soon, to bad.

Lucky day for us

The weather report chased everyone away. Practically had the place to ourselves. Course is in very good shape. We had a good rate and the course challenging but fair. Food at the grill is also very good.

May Hills review

Course was in the best shape I've seen in years. Greens and Fairways were both immaculate! Less than 4 hour round for our foursome as pace was never an issue.

5 stars!

Friendly staff. Logan checked me in quick and I went to the starter Nixon and he suggested that I try the Hills course because the first three holes were wide open. I had a great time, although the greens were aerated, and the wind was blowing pretty good, I played a good round. Thanks Red Hawk!!!Cheers

Fun place to play

I’ve played the lakes a few times and always enjoy it. Cool staff, awesome facilities, and course is always in pretty good shape. It does get pretty busy though, be prepared to be waiting on groups in front of you. Also really nice carts, but they won’t let you go very far into the ruff. But overall a great place to play.

Great course

I like the Lakes course better than the Hills course. It was windy when we played and marginal shots were lost balls. Glad to see a sign up on Vista to let you know the turn off to the course is coming.

confusing

This course was confusing going from hole to hole. Also returning the golf cart was also confusing. There was no good direction from going to hole to hole. Also no good direction returning the golf cart
