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.

Nice course overall.

The course’s layout offers a variety of challenges for all skill levels. The only drawback was the slow pace.

Greedy

This is a great layout beautiful golf course but simply not worth the prime time rate. I've played well over 100 dollars for golf regularly and I've never not received golf balls included with that price. This club thinks it's located in truckee or souther California!! 165$ for lakes at 8am on a Sunday. Save your money and play elsewhere it's nice but not resort nice like they want to be. Won't be back until prices come down to earth

Greens have some rough surface in early season.
First nine was too slow. Pace picked up from 12hole on.

Not good enough for the money

This course can be a great course. It has a great lay out. However, right now it is not worth the money. The greens are not great, the sand traps are "crusty" and look to not have been raked in a few weeks. The tee boxes are best up. All the things you would expect in a winter situation, not in May.
I would look elsewhere and wait 3 weeks or so before p,laying this course.

Never a disappointment.
Pro shop very friendly and cooperative.
When picking up assigned cart, the girl in charge was very professional.
Only downside was the greens were somewhat slow, but considering weather very acceptable.
Definitely a must play.

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.

Nice course in average condition. I'd play it again for $40 but the full rack rate is a bit steep.
