Located less than 30 minutes away from Reno in Sparks, NV, Red Hawk Golf and Resort is a premier golf course featuring two courses with a combined size of 14,516 yards of lush green. Surrounded by gorgeous mountain ranges, amazing desert landscapes and panoramic views of natural wetlands, Red Hawk Golf and Resort is nestled in Spanish Springs Valley. Averaging 252 days of sunshine every year, the resort offers a beautiful backdrop for shooting golf-centric films as well as films featuring lavish weddings, parties, retreats and dinners.

The Lake Course

The par-72 lake course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., a renowned golf course architect. Opened in 1997, this 7,410 yard course features an intricate design set amidst natural lakes, springs, cotton wood trees, and desert landscaping. Water and bunkers present distinct challenges on many holes and can provide unique opportunities for filming dramatic rounds.

The Hills Course

Also a par-72 course, this 7,106 yard golf course is known for its “small greens, dramatic elevation changes and deep bunkers filled with ‘Augusta’ white crushed marble” (source). Created by three-time U.S. Open Champion Hale Irwin, every club comes into play from the variety of hazards that are incorporated into the design of the course.

Both courses consist of well maintained fairways and greens with picturesque views throughout.

The resort also offers additional opportunities for filming other types of events and scenes with the following amenities:

• Practice facilities that include a short-game area and a 10,000-square-foot putting green
• Gourmet and casual dining at the clubhouse, including a special area for musical performances
• Fitness studios and recreational activities for young children and adults (swimming, yoga, pilates, and camps)
• Luxury villas
