I’d been wanting to get back to Redhawk for a while. I saw some recent photos that showed it to be in good condition, so I decided to brave the heat and go play.
The customer service was top notch. They had carts going to the parking lot to transports players and clubs to the clubhouse. Any bit of less walking in the heat was much welcomed. Check in was quick and I got my cart. The brake pedal was not working but they gave me another cart. That one didn’t work very well either but I just made do with some creative parking positions. The starter said they are expecting new carts with GPS next month. Also, since my last visit, there is new netting between the driving range and #18.
I was paired with a nice twosome and we headed out on time at 1pm.
Other than the sand-less bunkers, the course conditions were very good. The fairways were green and lush, with no thin or bare spots that I saw. There was much evidence of prior players having filled their divots. That was nice to see. The tee boxes were also in good shape. The greens were firm and not as fast as I expected but smooth and rolled true. There were very few ball marks. The rough varied from a bit clumpy to very thick and deep. Even from that, I had one of my best chipping days in a while.
The temperature reached 104 by the time we got to the 7th hole and on the 9th I was feeling so lousy I had to call it a day. I was kinda bummed because I shot my best front nine score ever on the course and think I might have done as well on the back if not for the heat. The front nine POP was 2:15.
The lady in the pro shop was the best. She gave me a nine hole rain-check good until November. What a nice touch. As soon as the weather cools, I’ll be back.
Definitely recommended.
