Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr, Hale Irwin (Hills Course). The Lakes Course has generous fairways, gigantic bunkers (lots of them) and large, quick, undulating greens. Use the GPS system on the carts; it will help you choose the correct club to hit into the deep greens. The members-only Hills Course is one of the few Hale Irwin designs around. You will find the fairways generous and the greens well protected and small. To be successful here, bring your best Hale Irwin iron game. The Lakes Course is open to the public, while the Hills Course remains member-only. The yardage is for the Lakes Course. Red Hawk offers vacation villas. From Reno (about 17 miles northeast to the course): From I-80 take Exit 21, Vista Road, and turn left and go north. Go about seven miles until it ends, and turn left on Wingfield Blvd. This leads straight to the course. Red Hawk combines fun golf with great service, which makes it a favorite among visiting golfers. A must-play for women golfers. It's challenging but you can score well.
