RedTail Golf Center

Layout is great. If this was a private course it would rival best around. Lack of money is probably the killer for greens and overall course maintenance.

1. No mention of aeriation until the starter on the first tee Did I mention that they are aeriation the back nine as we are playing the front.

2. Fairways: A complete joke, can’t tell if I was on a golf course or in the backyard. Dandelions everywhere. No difference from fairway to rough.

3. Pace of play, over 2 hours to play 6 holes and that was enough, decided to leave. $36 for this track is pathetic. Go somewhere anywhere else!! I will never play here again!!!

I was. In Portland in business but was canceled because of COVID I had my clubs and booked a round at Red tail . It’s a classic Northwest course with beautiful mature trees and magnificent use of the natural landscape to form an esthetically pleasing and challenging golf course

First off the staff here for some reason always likes to give off the we are better then you vibe. While they do have some good instructors they could lose the elitist attitude. Do not fall for the one free lesson offered unless you enjoy timeshare style selling tactics. The young ladies they like to hire to work the front are always very courteous, but they also seem to always have a few bro’s who hang around and can be creepy and sometimes rude.

The course itself is much to difficult for the weekend warriors who come out and play due to the location which can make pace of play absolutely brutal. While I know it’s winter and the rain is obvious this course is definitely one of the worst around Portland when it comes to wet conditions and drainage. Even in the fairway your shoes will be sinking in mud and anything outside the fairway is almost unplayable. I would expect to deal with novice golfers who are not yet up on golf etiquette as this is the only place I have witnessed near fights break out due to errant shots and other players picking up someone’s else’s ball.

The one positive I can report is they do offer a great selection of clubs, gear and accessories at very good prices, but would suggest other places for fitting services as Redtail is by far the most expensive club fitters in the state.

The green is in a good shape. Bunkers are unplayable. Fairways are lack of maintenance.

I really don’t want to bash redtail, because that’s where I went to take golf lessons. Drainage, is what they need. There’s nothing worse than finally hitting fairways, only to find your ball in a muddy swamp.

The course is within the Portland metro area and can get busy, but there was hardly anyone when we played on a cool fall day. We managed 15 holes in 3 hours. The course seemed in pretty good shape for November. The scenery is nice considering the urban location.

Some of the fairways are a bit narrow, and there are sand traps and water hazards scattered throughout the course. Overall it was a challenging course for this novice golfer.

I was charged the normal 9 hole weekend rate by RedTail after booking through gold now for less. They blamed Golfnow stating they have the rates wrong. I let the guy know that the price discrepancy was not my fault and they should honor the rate. They did not. Then I was told to play back nine which I was happy to do. As I am walking up to the tee box, the Starter rolled over and said “You need to let us know at the first tee box before you head out” I politely let him know that there was no one there when I walked by. He didn’t bother to listen and drive off. I have had a similar experience in the past as I have also heard others had. Too bad because the course is pretty nice. Management needs to learn how to display some better customer service. Alex

Red Tail is a great course to walk with a buddy after work. Got in 18 before dark with a 4pm tee time. Course was in pretty good shape considering the weather that Oregon has been experiencing. Will probably be a new regular course for myself and friends.

Course has deteriorated since the remodel 10+ years ago, nice layout but needs some maintenance

This is the closest course to my home so I play here about once a month. The greens are True and roll great, but the fairways, bunkers, and tee boxes need some TLC. I play early in the mornings so pace of play is not an issue (under 4 hour rounds), but if you go out after 9am on a weekend bring supplies for a 5+ hour round. Yes there are better maintained course around the Portland metro area, but for the cost Redtail is a good deal and challenging track.

I really appreciate the Red Tail Golf Course. In the meantime you can enjoy golf at a good price and a good course ......

When I first started playing Redtail 8 years ago the pace of play was the worst in the Portland Metro area and the fairways and greens were in bad shape. I came back recently after a few years away and the greens are much improved (if you miss a put it is YOUR fault), but the fairways and tee boxes still need some more attention. They seem to be headed in the right direction. The fitting center is great and the staff have always been generous with their time and very helpful. Lastly the pace of play has gotten better, a morning round takes between 3.75 to 4.25 hours (walking).

I’ve played golf on and off for 10 years, this course was a joke. Never have I ever played in such wet, sloppy conditions. I fell three times. They don’t even have stairs/steps for the majority of the tee boxes, therefore you’re climbing mud hills. Insanely over priced, poorly managed, and an ugly course overall. Nothing going for it aesthetically, generic hole after hole.

I think I would have had a better time playing from the seniors. Played a lot of golf in the 80’s, when I was younger. I’m not a long hitter anymore.

Will not be playing for 4 months, I get a brand new shoulder tomorrow.
