Course has a nice layout.
Third time playing the courses over the years. Played lakes course the first time it open. A lot has changed for the better. For some reason I don't understand why they don't rake the bunkers daily. Staff was great.
Not what they adervised
It was a very warm day.
The sign at checkin said they have a cart available for refreshments.
So, here is the problems with this course.
NO cart for refreshments showed up in over a 5 hour round.
Second, NO water available on ANY hole.
Third, On the Hills course there is NO availability to stop at the bar/resturant to obtain even water.
I was not aware of that fact as this is the first time i have ever played this course.
Bottom line. Red Hawk advertises that is it a premier course in the Reno area. I found that to be absolutey not true. EVEN muni courses have water on SOME holes. If i had known that there was not going to be a cart service on the entire 18 holes or an opportunity to purchase food or water/driinks after nine holes i would NEVER have played this course.
Horrible experience
Bring your own water
Played this course on a Saturday afternoon 1:00 T-time, sunny 90 degrees. Arrived with great expectations after reading the reviews, once the pro shop had my money it all went downhill from there. Signs posted all over the place "No outside food or beverage" which is normal, I am ok with that, signs posted saying beverage cart is on the course, perfect. Had a hard time figuring out where to park the cart for the driving range until the all in one, starter, range attendant, groundskeeper, janitor told me to just park it anywhere. Round started great good course if you hit it straight, over 100 bunkers on the course, greens in good shape just not consistent through 18. Ran into a foursome on the second hole that took forever until the turn where we played through, NO MARSHALL anywhere around. Was a 90 degree day, no water for drinking anywhere on the course, and low and behold NO beverage cart anywhere also. Overall good little course with tons of sand but it had that country club appeal but delivered the community course feeling. Too many good courses around area to play again.
Wonderful course
Great course with a challenging layout that can be mitigated by using easierT boxes. Sand needs some maintenance, but fairways and greens were near perfect.
First time playimg
The cost of round is every worth it. The course conditions were perfect. The greens ran true. Customer service was also awesome. Most definitely I'll play this course again. Tell a friend.
Beautiful Hill Course
We played the Hill course. The staff was helpful and friendly at check in. There is a long way between the clubhouse and hole number one. They had a beverage chart on the course, stocked with whatever you might want. The course was very well maintained. The cart paths were excellent. The only downside: we got back in about 7 p.m. and the clubhouse was locked up. Even if we had wanted to go in to buy a shirt or whatever, no one was around. Other than that, we really enjoyed the course and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun day of golf.
the lakes
Played the lakes for the first time this year on 7/8/16 on a beautiful day. The greens were in awsome shape and rather quick which I like. I only found 2 bunkers out of over 100, and the sand was the best I have seen it, so getting out of the sand was fun. The fairways are very wide here so one is almost always hitting their second shout from the fairway, nice. Really enjoyed playing by my self in less that 3 1/2 hrs. Really looking forward to playing here again soon.
good times.
awesome experience. course was in great shape. greens were rolling well. cups were slightly crowned at the hole for some reason though. pace of play was good as we teed off at 155 on a tuesday afternoon. Temps were around 101 degrees so bring an umbrella for the sun if it gets to you.. great ammenities at the club. good restaurant/bar. order the bbq chicken sandwich.
Resort course
Greens a little slow, otherwise great conditions.
Fun course
Had a great day on the course a little tough but a good time
Great day of golf
Got paired up with an old timer. Great company. The cart girl was awesome. Brought me a sandwich I was to lazy to get at the bar. View is great. Much better than the lakes course.
Fun to play
Played on a beautiful, breezy spring day. The greens still had some aerification signs but we're still okay to putt. Tees and fairways in excellent condition. Our 3 players played different tees but the challenge was fair for lower and higher handicappers. The landing areas are very generous for a course with the slope rating it has but plenty of bunkering makes you think your way around. The staff was very personable and helpful too. I will definitely go back my next visit to the Reno-sparks area.
Hills but not mountains
Great course. Need to allow several minutes to reach the tee box from the pro shop and extra time to find your way. Hill course was very green and not rocky like most mountain courses. Fairways were sometimes narrow but very good overall.
renoruona
I recently played this course with my parents visiting reno from the san jose area..I live in reno nevada..Love the courses here..The hills course much more difficult for lies and putting the lakes tough and fair water and placement key..chris ruona reno nevada
Carts kept dying
Two carts died on the back nine. Took forever to get a new one.
Great condition, both fairways and greens
Wind from 25 to 40 miles per hour, I hit 120 yard club over green at 175 yards, and normal Driver was 70 yards short into the wind. However; no one else on the course enabled me to play 18 holes in 2 hours.
Reno golf
I would think that this one of the better courses here in Reno. We visited from San Diego and looking for a nice course on Golf Now ( for a good rate), found this course in good conditions and challenging enough with the tough pin placement on the greens.
Sunday at the Lakes course.
Started on time. Course in great condition compared w last years when economy down. Good pace of play 4h 20 min. Greens tough but reasonably true even though punched and sanded 1 week before. I would play again if they kept the price reasonable. (or a discount for walkers)
Golf now for Herv.
Excellent course to play at and GolfNow makes it affordable for someone like me to enjoy. Thanks for the opportunity!
Very nice course
Saved about $15 by booking through Golfnow.com. Played with some local guys that knew the courses well. There are two courses and I played the Lakes. I was told this one was a little harder than the Hills.course. Great day of golfing with some very friendly locals. I would recommend this course if your playing in the Reno/Sparks area. I did purchase a bucket of balls and when I got to the range it was closed so double check with them to verify the range being open.
