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.

Red Hawk Lakes

Beautiful course with lots of wild birds. 1st green has issues but all of the others rolled great. Fairways are very well maintained. Most of the Bunkers are hard as cement ( I know because I found probably a dozen of them) and it takes real finesse to control distance out of them. Overall we had a very enjoyable round of golf.

Geese everywhere.Too much. Get rid of them

Geese or not an endangered species.

The golf course is completely invaded by geese everywhere.

The fairways and the greens are suffering because of the geese. They crap everywhere and it’s almost impossible to take your shot in certain areas of the golf course because of the goose crap.

Time to eliminate the overpopulation of geese that are destroying our local golf courses.

From now on all the courses that I play that are invaded by geese are going to get a negative review until something is done to correct this completely invasive species.

Not as good as it used to be

I like Red Hawk, both the Hills and Lakes Courses are fun to play and the facilities are nice. Good food and friendly staff. The course conditions have gotten worse year over year and are struggling to keep in good condition. That being said, it is still a fun track and I will be back.

Love Redhawk golf courses!

Redhawk has two 18 hole courses. The hills and the lakes. Prefer the lakes on windy days for obvious reasons. The hills does have a couple big downhill holes that with the right wind direction are a blast to send em on. Golf cart girls are always awesome.

Best Public in Reno/Sparks

Great course! Tough hazards and definitely not the kind of course for beginners but overall manageable for slightly more experienced golfers.

Love this course!

I love this course! Its close to my house, its a great value, its right at my skill leavel and the course itself is fun. The carts are plush with GPS, and the people are friendly. I was paierd with a couple who were VERY slow and just learning. There was no body ahead of us so after a few holes I politley played ahead of my asigned group. I think we were bothh much happier after that.
