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.

It has been awhile since we visited Redhawk and pleasantly surprised on how well the course played. Check in was easy. Staff was friendly. Practice facility was ok. Mats at the driving range, and 2 practice greens where we chipped and putt while waiting for out slot. Tee sheet was full and we were given carts 10 minutes before tee time. Carts had no GPS - good thing we had a greens book. Also, we were joined by 2 singles, one of whom had a lot of course knowledge he shared with us. Thanks Dennis Course has some very interesting and memorable holes and the par 3s were a lot of fun. Some tee boxes must not have been mowed as grass was a bit longer than normal. Fairways decent with some area bare but overall playable. Rough was tough as some areas are overgrown and deep grass. Best part are the greens. Very challenging with multi-tiered greens that are hard to figure out. Greens run medium speed. Given the number of people on the course, we were lucky to finish just a little over 4 hours. Some waiting here and there but can't complain for a Sunday afternoon round. Highly recommended.

Early Saturday afternoon round at a much improved course. Staff is great and helpful to the golfers. The practice facilities are okay but not anything to brag about. The course was still very busy and the pace of play was proof. The carts are holding up but definitely showing their age and are basic with no gps. Our cart had black duct tape on the worn out white seat??? The tee boxes all were in nice shape with very good coverage. This was the first time out recently where the rough was actually cut down to near normal length. It was just long enough to stop shots that left the fairway and short enough to allow you to locate your ball and put a good strike on it. The fairways were great with total coverage that is actually greening up nicely with the warmer weather. You might find a tight lie here and there but the turf is still damp underneath. The traps were all well groomed with adequate sand that varied from compact to soft and damp to dry. That was frustrating since I visited about a dozen of them! The greens were still recovering somewhat from maintenance and were very bumpy but with few ball marks. They really needed to be rolled and were slower than usual but were holding better than usual. The rates here are inline with the local competition and the difficulty makes the cost per hole worth the price. The older twosome (husband and wife) who were paired with us were probably the worst playing partners I've ever had to deal with. Luckily they quit after the fourteenth hole because of the slow round. We finished in slightly over five hours which is par for this facility. If you play on the weekend you'll want to tee off by eight or you'll have time to watch hackers on every hole! If you've played here in the past and were disappointed with the conditions I would say the new 2-3 months should see the course in some of it's best playing conditions in years!!

Nice course but fairways on most holes are thin and wet, plays very long right now. Greens are very hard to putt if you have never been here. You want undulating greens here they are almost everyone... Continue »

Nice course but fairways on most holes are thin and wet, plays very long right now. Greens are very hard to putt if you have never been here. You want undulating greens here they are almost everyone. Green side bunkers are also hard because of soft sand that most courses do not have right now. We found it a really hard course as first time players here. Need to play it a couple times to score and with wet fairways the White Tees do NOT play like the numbers on the card would make you think.

Played Redhawk on 9/17 for the first time in 12 years. I wasn't expecting much and my memory of the course was vague at best. I came away very impressed with the layout and conditions of the course.

I would definitely play this course again. The layout was very good, had a couple of funky holes (wasn't a fan of 1 and 18) but the par 3s were very good especially number 8 with the island green.

Greens and fairways were in really good shape. Greens on the slower side but not too slow. There were some patches of rough a foot deep that was nuts.

If the drive wasn't so far for me, it would definitely be on my regular list.

Played Redhawk today on a breezy and cooler day this afternoon teeing off at approximately 1 o’ clock. Driving Range is closed for renovations and I stopped at Temecula Creek to hit a few warm balls. Played the blue/white combination with Vince, Mark & Misako which made for a very enjoyable round. The course is doing lots of improvements now as evidenced with some heavy equipment on some of the holes. I didn’t remember much about this course especially having not played it in the last 10 years. Check in was very easy got the key to the cart and off we went, carts are very basic with no GPS. Tee boxes were mostly level with a few a little uneven. There was a group in front of us but we never really waited. Fairways were very nice and green and saw no bare or thin lies which made it very playable. Rough not to existent with the exception of a few creeks with very little water in them. Bunkers nice and compact as I almost holed a few. Greens are recovering nicely from punching a few weeks ago and are a little bumpy but not much and still have some speed to them. To me the course is very playable and has some elevation on a few holes all which made it very fun to play. The course is in nice shape now and I definitely would play it again. Definitely recommended..

First time playing here. Let's say up front that the course needs a little bit of TLC. Its not terrible but a little run down around the edges. The course was for the most part in decent shape. Fun lay out. Greens have some damage. Fairways were in good shape. Tee boxes were fairly level. The staff was super friendly and pleasant which goes a long way. Pace of play was excellent.

All I have to say is the owner or management co of Redhawk should wear a mask and not because of covid, because they are RIPPING people off for charging full price for this DUMP. I have played Redhaw... Continue »

All I have to say is the owner or management co of Redhawk should wear a mask and not because of covid, because they are RIPPING people off for charging full price for this DUMP. I have played Redhawk for years and have NEVER seen it in horrible shape like today (09-10-21j. I hadn’t play the course for several month but decided to give it a try. Tee’d off at 0640 so the pace of play was great but that was the only good thing.

If you like playing on greens that are running around an 4 or you practice on shag carpet you’ll be okay. More that half the greens are mud. The rough averages about a foot and a half high so if the maintenance staff ever cuts it there properly a million gold balls in there.

Redhawk used to be a must play course in the Temecula valley. Fortunately I live near enough to the course that I wasn’t totally pissed at drive there but if you are from out of town, I would save $70 bucks and play somewhere else.

Early Saturday afternoon round on a not too busy day finishing in four hours. The staff is always pleasant and helpful. They shut down the food/beverage services before five though? The carts are very nice but do not have any gps. The tee boxes all had good coverage and are almost all level. The rough is thick enough to lose a ball in with the grass clippings piled up on several of the holes. The fairways all had very good coverage with some spots here and there that were burnt out or soggy. The head of maintenance has told me they are battling with the irrigation issues so look for that to improve. The traps were for the most part all well maintained with rakes in all but many golfers not having the courtesy to use THEM. The greens which are usually the highlight were disappointing. There were a few greens that had patchwork turf and dead or diseased sections. The speed was slower than usual and the turf seemed very thin for some reason? They held shots well but were a little bumpy and not breaking as they have in the past. The afternoon rates are fair for the conditions but it would be difficult to pay the morning rack rate presently.
