RedTail Golf Center

good and fun course but was slow and delay on almost every hole... :(

otherwise,,, good course..

I had booked a reservation through Golf Now and was able to walk on to the first tee as scheduled. I was paired with a talented young man for the front nine. He knew the course well and offered some key pointers. The back nine was more challenging with two young men who were playing their first round in 12 years. The back nine had more sand and water hazards to spice things up. I enjoyed the course and the company of my playing partners. It was a good outing.

Crazy... too hot? The course was empty. So weird. The marshalls were great. They are obviously tracking and concerned about speed of play. The staff in the shop as always is either the kids that seem like its their first day or the older guys that act like they are above helping you. Really too bad.

This course has many challenges - water, well placed bunkers, wild rough that penalizes the less accurate shooter. The tee placements help the higher handicap player keep up with the scratch golfer. Other than one badly burned green on 17 (that seems to be improving), the course is in great shape. Enjoy!

Course not in best of shape. It's my understanding that it's is the most played course in the Portland area. For that, course condition maybe forgiven. Layout is challenging and good shots rewarded. Spongy fairways, sand-less bunkers and burnt greens were however a turn off...

I live right near this course, and I love the layout. But the conditions are horrible. The fairways were like the rough, the greens were diseased, the rough was splotchy. Everything was full of weeds. This was abysmal. Its such a shame because with some good up keep this could be one of the best courses in the area. As it stands its practically unplayable.

I have played this course many times but May 8th I truly experience how harsh of a winter it was and how this course is challenge to properly drain the Pacific Northwest weather. Many parts of the course were completely muddy and swamped. Hole 4 hadn't been mowed in weeks and the entire course had loose grass from the movers which made it very challenging to find you ball even in the fairway. In 18th holes, I lost 4 drives due to plugged balls in the fairway. Greens were bumpy to the extent of excluding any possibility to making a put outside of 15 ft. This was definitely weather related and nothing pertaining to Red Tails consistent challenge and solid layout. Just want to note if you are looking to get out on course to manage your expectations. It is still winter golf conditions for a majority of the holes.

Even though we paid only $15 for our round(thanks to GolfNow Hot Deals) we only completed 4 holes! Add to that the cost of a cart @ $14/head and this became a total rip-off. The course is a mud pit! Should have known when the starter told us the ROUGH was in better SHAPE than the fairway ... big drainage problems here. Granted the weather here in the northwest has been wetter than wet, but RedTail should be ashamed of themselves. We play in rainy conditions all winter, and no other course has been anywhere near these poor conditions. BOO RedTail.

I have played this course during the summer and it plays dry, but pace of play is slow.

Granted we have had our share of rain, but this course does not drain at all!

Normally the fairways are some what dry, but Red Tail has no drainage at all

Extremelly poor

Poor Redtail! This is a municipal golf course. It has a nice driving range with appropriately priced golf balls, a really well stocked golf shop and an excellent teaching staff.

I signed up for the hot price of $15 plus GN fee totaling less than $18 for 18 holes. It was a great value!

It took the person 4 times to ask my name after showing the reservation information on my phone three times and 2 staff members to check me in.

Once headed to the first tee, I checked for score cards at the first tee, none were in the box so I headed back to the shop to get a score card. When I asked where they were I was told , they are normally on the cart. I said I was walking. I also asked if they wanted me to put some out there, trying to be helpful and the staff person said, the starter would do it. I said there isn't a starter. No comment from her, no answer or thanks for the offer. Hmmm, ok. I took my card and headed back out.

Sign says play winter rules. Good thing!

We have had a really wet winter. It has been horrible. The fairways had grass as long as 6 inches in places and the rough was even longer.

The reason I say poor Redtail is they don't control the weather and it has been too wet to mow.

We caught up to the twosome in a cart on hole 5. Watching them look for their balls, then hit 3 balls each on the next par 3 hole. They let us play through on hole 7 thankfully, after we asked them to speed up.

Suffice it to say, the course conditions were rough and understandably long grass. Glad I didn't pay more for this round. It was exhausting pushing my cart through that wet ground.

The course layout is nice but staff is rough around the edges. It has great potential and is in a great location. I don't think I will play there again. The last time I was there it took too long on a sunny day. It is so easy to train the staff to be nice, say thank you, etc. that's the easy part, making it rain less is impossible.

I didn't play my best and due to amounts of rain recently the fairways were a bit wet but not terrible. The greens were hard to read do to water but overall it was a typical fall golf day in Oregon. I enjoyed it and for 25 bucks it was well worth it.

Tough challenge. Course is hard but that's a good thing in my eyes. It doesn't suite my eyes but whatever I still enjoy the challenge. I did set a personal best but I feel I can still go lower on this tough challenge of a course. Made only 1 birdie which doesn't help my cause. Most take advantage of the par 5's on the back. If I wanted to show visitors Portland area courses with bite this course would be one of them. I would include chehelm and heron lakes great blue.

My friend and I decided to try the course. Fortunately, we were paired with course veterans who counseled us. Otherwise we would have gotten into even more trouble than we did!! Loved the course. Each hole is different. Best advice? Keep it in the fairway, stay within yourself and make good choices.

Pace of play was incredibly slow even for mid-day mid-week on the front nine. Much better on the back nine since the group in front of and behind our group only played nine holes.

It seems like Retail would rather get you to spend money in the pro shop and golf range then let you actually play golf. I live about a mile from the course, but since I've been by there to play after work or in the late afternoon by myself the last two times they wouldn't let me tee off. The starter, a young stocky blond man, told me "sorry we're all booked up for at least 45 minutes. I sat in my car and watched him play around the 1st tee and there was no one in sight for 10 minutes I've given up trying to playing there and have been having to drive to Heron Lakes or Eastmoreland golf course. It seems they have forgotten it's about PLAYING GOLF.

I DID NOT ENJOY PLAYING HERE ON A WEEKEND. THEY PACK YOU EVERY 6 MIN

AND THEN THE MARSHAL RUNS AROUND AND TELLS YOU TO PICK UP THE PACES WHEN YOU CAN ONLY GO AS FAST AS THE GROUP IN FRONT OF YOU, WE GOT IN TROUBLE FOR GETTING THINGS FROM THE SNACK CART, TOTALY UN CALLED FOR, I WILL NEVER PLAY HERE AGAIN UNLESS IT'S A WEEK DAY,,

Great location with tons of potential. Unfortunately it appears that the greens fees ( collected hand over fist) are not being used to show the course any maintenance love. Greens were pock marked like an acne riddled middle schooler, bunkers either had no sand or some really fluffy sand with rakes sure to give even the toughest of hands a nasty splinter. So aside from the convenience, not worth the money.

Will never play that course again. We were made to play with one other person Very slow player and then they sent a single behind us and one behind him.

Let people play thru which slowed our game .

We were instructed by the starter that there was a 15 minute rule per hole and we were totally fine that. We were also told a marshal would be out watching. Never saw one marshal. It took us over 3 hours to play the front 9 because of 4 drunk irresponsible adults who never should have been allowed on the course. They used profanity all day long, and after the 9th hole, I had to call the clubhouse to get someone out to talk to them. We finally played through and then were greeted again by these 4 who had no respect for the course and started driving their carts all over the course cutting through holes and cutting through the fairways while people where trying to play. I know you will run into just idiotic people, but if a course is going to instruct us to follow a time rule per hole, then they need to have someone out the entire day to enforce it. It shouldn't take 5 1/2 hours to play 18 holes of golf anywhere.
