Beautiful course. But there are few spot where I lost my balls due to the muddy fairway and the ball got plunged!

Great course. Friendly stuff. But due to rain the winter playing conditions are never great. Great practice facility.

Design is ok, price was great but the course in poor condition

We got a great price on the "Hot Deal" so for the price we paid
it was ok.
The issue would be the condition of the course, several fairways
had large areas that were unplayable.
On a side note we saw a beautiful bald eagle flying around the
course, it was amazing.

Better than expected

Several of my friends had told me this course wasn't very good so I had low expectations going in. I was pleasantly surprised by a nice golfing experience...especially for the price.

The holes were fairly tight and challenging, there was a good mix of longer and shorter holes from the blue tees, and the practice facilities were quite nice. Only downside of my experience was that the course was pretty soggy (plugged about 5 drives in the fairway) but then again, golfing in Portland in Feb, not all that unexpected.

For the price I would definitely recommend this course for a quick round.

Bad course to play in the wet season

We slogged through swampy fairways on a sunny November day. The course is very poorly drained. We had a single golfer yell at us when we were on the green and he on the approaching fairway. I didn't know what the problem was. When he approached the next tee, he yelled, "Can I play through?" As always there was no presence of staff on the course to monitor play.

Of all the Portland area courses I have played over the last 30 years, this one has had a very strange monopoly on rudeness. It used to be that this would come from employees. Now they are better, and it appears that the golfers have taken over.

I liked the length of this course!

The course seemed, to me, pretty long for a course in the middle of suburbia. I liked the length of the course as I found myself hitting a decent drive and still being a 5 iron out. I found this course challenging yet doable.

very nice place to play

my buddy and i played for the first time here the 28th of sept. had a great time. played from the blue tees and it was nice to have some long irons into the greens instead of 8, 9, or wedge. greens rolled consistent and to me were in great shape. the bunkers were also very well kept. this course was a great surprise and has moved into my top five courses around the portland vancouver area.

Great public course.

Challenging but fair course. I try to play at least a few times each season and this year the course was in good condition from June through Sept. Love the wildlife (ducks, geese, blue herons, hawks, coyotes) at a city course. Good pro shop and practice facilities.

Course was very busy but good - watch credit card charges carefully

Golf course good ...

Pro shop / store...
I was traveling from San Diego when I played this course in Oregon. I purchased some clothes at their shop after the round. I discovered, after returning home, I had been overcharged on my credit card. Bought 2 shirts, 1 pair of shorts and 2 pairs of pants. I was charged for 4 pairs of pants in instead of 2.

Out of state players

Very enjoyable and challenging course to play. Staff was amiable. Tons of merchandise available to purchase. Nice driving range. We have played their twice when visiting Oregon and will continue to do so, everytime we are in Portland.

Slow play on a Friday Afternoon

The course was very busy for a Friday afternoon, and it took over 5 hours for us to complete our 18 holes. However, the course was in good condition for a municipal course, and we enjoyed our time in the beautiful weather.

Super friendly starter, but pace of play was poor.

This is a nice course with some challenging holes. The starter was super friendly, but the pace of play was poor. We had to wait too long on most of the holes and it took too long to play the course.

Long and Slow

Red Tail is a long course with some challenging par 4s and par 5s. If you are a big hitter you can afford to mess up occasionally. The front 9 is really easy and the back 9 makes you pay for hitting it anywhere but the fairway. If you are looking for a good score on the back and do not trust your driver, keep it in the bag and stick to the iron game.
