“Red Hawk has a good variety of interesting holes"

“Red Hawk is a solid, underrated golf course in a beautiful desert setting with a collection of good, memorable holes. I can't help feeling that in a bigger city like Phoenix or even ABQ, Red Hawk would be on everyone's must-play list. Las Cruces is a windy place certain times of year, and the course playability suffers during this time, but I imagine it plays a dream for the rest of the year."

“Red Hawk is a Ken Dye design that demands heroic golf shots. A golfer who likes downhill holes and who has a natural draw off the tee will enjoy this course. The greens are tremendous; each one resembles a crumpled cloth napkin, with high contours that can be used a backstops and low points that drain off the green into runoff areas (but fortunately not into the bunkers that surround most greens). In a moderate wind, this layout could be quite tough, and this is probably not a good course for higher handicappers, even from a forward tee box, because approach shots need to be so exacting. Deep bunkers surrounding greens would be a problem, but the sand is perfect for executing the longer, spinning bunker shots needed for these greens. But for a decent player, Red Hawk can be tremendous fun, especially if you are hitting your tee shots well."

The total length at 7,523 is intimidating containing 6 par fours playing 447 yrds or longer, and par 5s stretching to 555, 576, 587 and 601 yrds, respectively. Stone wall lined ponds frame greens (at holes 1,3,6,7,9,13,14 "
