The Lakes Course at Red Hawk
Rating Snapshot
About
The Lakes Course at the Resort at Red Hawk is a Robert Trent Jones masterpiece that has helped vault Reno and the High Sierra into the upper echelon of West Coast golf destinations. Named the best daily fee golf experience by readers of the <em>Reno-Gazette Journal</em>, the Hills Course is a challenge not to be missed.
Playing to more than 7,100 yards from the tips, the Lakes Course is a haven for big hitters who love dangerous risk-reward opportunities, as well as for players who thrive on accuracy in their golf game. More than 100 bunkers challenge golfers, as do a plethora of trees and water hazards that both add to the aesthetics of the course, and the difficulty.
Along with its sister, the Hills Course, the Lakes Course has helped the Resort at Red Hawk become synonymous with stellar golf action and excellent service.

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
Early season Red Hawk
Course is relatively difficult with many sand traps, water, and recently aerated greens. But I am still a big fan of the course and the personnel that work there. I also enjoyed the 19th hole at David's bar and the food at the restaurant. All in all it was a great day to enjoy the outdoors and the golfing experience.
Good Course (Lakes)
4/18/24 - Course is in good condition for the time of year. Greens are a little patchy, but still rolling fast and true. Overall a very good course if you can get a deal on it. I'd be a little disappointed if I paid over $75 for it right now.
Red Hawk Lakes Course
Red Hawk is a great and friendly place. The only negative is the cart area is not convenient to parking area and practice/check in.
Nice course
It was cold and windy but the beginning of April so to be expected. A nice wide open course.
Nice course
It was 45. The course was in good condition for April while it was snowing at Northstar. Overall a nice course.
Lakes vs Hills
I like both courses but I think the Lakes gets the edge 'cause I love all the water and the challenges herein. Course is in fine condition for the winter and the tee-off price is excellent - full tee-time price is a bit high, but with this discount it's a great deal.
Can't Wait for Spring!
I really like this course. It's winter golf now, for sure...but it's darn good for winter golf. Love all the water.
No Information
My group played here on Monday. The staff did not give any info about playing on temporary green the whole round. This is unacceptable. 60 bucks for the round and then 10 bucks for a bucket of balls. This is turning into a cash grab. Save your money and go somewhere else!!
Was Cart Path Only Even Though Fairways Were Dry
Got lucky on a balmy late December day in Reno. Was surprised to hear that course was cart path only, despite the fairways being firm & dry. Also, there were two holes that had temporary greens in play. If I had known about both of these restrictions beforehand, I may have chosen another course.
Otherwise, course was in perfect condition for a winter day. Lots of sand traps with good sand in bunkers.
Lake course
Got there early. Start put me with two other guys out early one of them knew the course which really helped. Some hidden water and blind drives..
Tee bowed were in good shape (blues) fairways good condition greens seemed a little slow but in good shape.
Drinks after bar was packed but still got waited on quick.
