The Lakes Course At Red Hawk

Sparks, Nevada · 18 holes · par 72 · Resort. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., ASGCA, opened 1997.

A caddie's yardage book for every hole: plays-like distance from USGS lidar elevation, reach and carry numbers for every bunker and water hazard, green front, middle and back, which way each green falls, and the lay-up zone on par 5s. Distances are from the back tees along the mapped hole; for a shorter tee, take off the scorecard difference.

  • Bunker front-right of the green

  • The fairway is about 66 yards wide at 232 and narrows to 42 at 262.
  • Best lay-up: 130 to 170 yards from the green, where the fairway is about 46 yards wide with no bunkers or water within 16 yards.
  • Hazards guard both sides of the green; aim for the middle.

  • Water short of the green; take enough club to carry it.
  • The green is 37 yards deep: a back pin can play about 3 clubs more than a front pin.

Hole maps, hazards and playing notes come from mapped course data and USGS 3DEP elevation (public domain), not a visit. Plays-like numbers use the Skitty caddie's rule of one yard per 3 ft of rise, from the longest tee; altitude uses 1.16% of carry per 1,000 ft. Tees, hazards and conditions change; check with the course before you play. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL 1.0) via OpenGolfAPI. Scorecard yardages and ratings as published.
