Redhawk Golf Club in Temecula: Is It One of Southern California's Best Public Golf Courses?
If you're searching for the best golf courses in Temecula, planning a golf getaway, or considering moving to the area, Redhawk Golf Club deserves a spot at the top of your list.
Located in the scenic hills of South Temecula, Redhawk Golf Club is known for its challenging layout, dramatic elevation changes, breathtaking mountain views, and one of the most recognizable golf holes in Southern California—the famous island green on Hole 8. Whether you're an experienced golfer or simply looking for another reason to love living in Temecula, Redhawk offers an unforgettable experience.
As lifelong Temecula locals, Austin and I recently spent the afternoon at Redhawk with our family as part of our new Temecula Golf Course Series. Austin grew up playing this course, while I tackled my first official nine holes—and let's just say there were plenty of laughs along the way.

Austin's Perspective: A Course That Challenges Every Golfer
Austin has been playing Redhawk since he was a kid, making this course especially meaningful for him. According to Austin, Redhawk isn't necessarily the easiest course—but that's exactly what makes it so enjoyable. The narrow fairways require accuracy, while the elevation changes keep every hole interesting. Golfers are constantly rewarded for good course management instead of simply hitting the ball as far as possible.
One hole stands above the rest.
The Famous Island Green
Ask almost anyone who's played Redhawk what hole they remember, and chances are they'll say Hole 8. The beautiful island green surrounded by water has become the course's signature hole. It's visually stunning, incredibly memorable, and just challenging enough to keep golfers coming back for another attempt.
