Challenging & busy.

A muni in good condition, but very difficult. It requires a player who can hit the ball a long way and who also has an excellent short game, No longer young, we two men played it from the red tees and still could not score well because the course exposed the weaknesses in our short games. The old version of this course, Progress Downs, was more duffer friendly,

First Time Playing

First round of golf in Oregon. Last time at this course

Just recently moved to Oregon and decided to play this course. We had a late tee time because we had just drove into town. The first tee box was severely backed up and people were hitting as soon as the group in front cleared. This plus the lack of marshalls on the course led to an over 5 hour round. The course itself is in decent shape, the fairways were spotty, but the greens were smooth and rolled OK. There are a lot of blind tee shots and hazards that you cant identify unless you've played there before. There wasn't much water provided on the course, and the cart lady wasn't around too often. And to top it off, it was well overpriced for the condition of the place. I would NOT recommend this course.

For the cost you should be playing a better course

I have been in OR now for 5 years and i cringe at the sound of Red Tail. It is a poorly laid out cousre that runs very long.the staff they have is rude and seems to just want to push you through like cattle. I was watching a kids class and the "pro" was teaching how to ship from his golf cart 20 yards away. I feel for the kind of money you have to pay for a bucket of balls or a round there are better options out there than red tail. SAVE YOUR MONEY GO SOMEWHERE ELSE>>>>>

A Challenging Course

I've played here quite a bit and it can be very difficult, but it's always fun. Narrow tree-lined fairways, long holes, and tough greens at times. If you can play well here you can play almost anywhere.

Too slow.

This is just an average golf course, but the tee times are so close to each other. 5 hours or more is their normal speed. The seasonal staffs in the club house are much better than the regulars. This is a mismanaged golf club.

see below

The course was so backed up it was hard to put anything together. We had times where we waited more than 25 minutes before we could tee off at the next hole. Some times there were three groups on one tee box. Made for a not very pleasurable experience

The course could use some supervision

Play was slow, yet player services personell / marshalls were absent. The day was very hot, but the drink cart girls were absent. The golf course was in good shape, but the slow pace of play and the absence of any hydration on the course were material detractions.

Slow but great course

Redtail has a lot of things going on, like summer camp for kids. This great for the community but sometimes slows things down. It's economical to play here and is located close to the PDX city center, which means it gets lots of play. So it's a bargain, but you get slow play, and a well used course.
The course itself is challenging.

play too slow

the pace was excessively slow. two different groups in front bogged the entire course. No marshals to be found. The entire back nine, the food cart girl bypassed us, cutting across fairways. Not a bad round if you're not in a hurry and bring your own food and drink.

good and bad

Although Red Tail is a much improved track from Progress Downs, I'm not a fan of the layout. Some holes are too long, some too short. 5 1/2 hour round, too long. Lots of time waiting for groups tocclear. Primary problem is guys playing blue or black Tees, when they have no business playing those tees. We waited several times for the guys in front of us to wait for the green to clear when they were 230+ out and they hadn't hit their drives 200. This just causes play to slow down. Maybe some better marshalling would help.

Greens have a lot of slope. Hard to one putt from 6 feet out.

We hit the late night golfing and played through 14 holes before the darkness set in.
The course was playing slow as it was Fathers Day! Always a challenge playing Red Tail as this was my 5th time on the course.

challenging course pace of play too slow

Pretty difficult course overall but good value. The problem was pace of play. After having a 2.5 hour front nine we found that the starter put a group of 5, yes five, in front of us at the 10th hole. Super frustrating. 5.5 hour rounds don't make you want to come back or recommend to your friends.

Expected better

Out biggest dissapointment was the slow play by other players, and particularly the fact that we were "jumped" at least three times late in the round, by groups either skipping holes or coming out of nowhere, jumping in ahead of us and causing delays. We should have been able to easily finish our round by 8:30 which would have left us plenty of light, as it was we had to play the 18th in nearly complete darkness. The overall appearance of the course was below par for what we've experienced with other courses in the Portland area.

Very Enjoyable

Aside from the fact that there were daisies growing in the fairways in a couple places I really enjoyed this course. There are enough different challenges that its very interesting. Greens rolled very true, not overly fast. Tee boxes were in pretty good shape. There are enough water holes that you might want to bring some extra balls :). I walked and carried and I'm 43 and a tad over weight and it wasn't overly taxing.

I'm definitely going back for the twilight special.
