About

Type Resort
Par 71
Length 7106 yards
Slope 127
Rating 73.1

The Resort at Redhawk is known to golf travelers around the globe and is one of the highlights of the grand golf destination that is the High Sierra. Located in the town of Sparks, next door to Reno, the Hills Course is one of two 18-hole runs at Redhawk and draws raves for its challenging play and incredible scenery.

Designed by three-time U.S. Open champion Hale Irwin, the Hills Course offers players a Scottish links-style layout that has small and dastardly greens, dramatic elevation changes, deep bunkering and immaculate views of one of the most scenic golf destinations in the United States.

While the Hills Course is a must play in the Reno area and will challenge long hitters with a 127 slope rating, Irwin added another touch to the resort. A unique, 18-hole putting green will have players competing, all the while improving their putting game, helping to make Redhawk and the Hills Course a standout in the High Sierra.

In amazing shape for time of year.

Course was in incredible shape for time of year, staff was really friendly. It was below freezing and super windy and that didn’t stop us from having a great time. Really a fun layout and course.

Red Hawk golf course

Very nice course and played the white tees. Made it shorter. Greens were plugged but rolled fine. Highly recommend if staying nearby.

Great course

This is a beautiful course to play with amazing views! I just think all courses are getting to be overpriced and unless you’re making very good money it’s hard to be able to play anything decent! Other than price, the course is fabulous, and I have played it many many times,!

Awesome hilly beautiful course

The only reason I didn't give it five stars was because there were areas that were over watered and it was a little mushy and wet. Otherwise fun course and I would play again if I go back to the area

Great Day!

I was really excited to play this course and it didn't disappoint. Although getting to the Pro Shop was a bit of a challenge - there could be better signage to the Pro Shop. There's plenty of signs for the 1st Tee, but one can't assume the way to the 1st Tee means the same as the Pro Shop to check in. The course is definitely NOT a walking course - it is over a mile to just to get to the 1st Fee from the pro shop! The course is well maintained, and the green are fast. We thoroughly enjoyed the day! Going back to play the Lakes next...
