Slow play not fun….

Why are there course marshals if they never do their job? They never say anything about the frustration with slow play…They drive around but do nothing…Astonishing!!

Extremely slow—5 hours

5 Hours

Had a 4-some in front of our 3-some who waited for the man to tee off before the 3 ladies even went to their tee box. Mentioned it to marshal who talked to them but did not help. On 18 they waited until the group ahead of them was around the corner and out of sight before man teed off. None of them reached the first bunker, let alone the farthest bunker. A very painful experience.

Great Pro Shop

Love the pro shop and range but the course is terrible. Right from the start it didn’t look like they had mowed in over a week. Throughout the whole course the weeds and clover blossoms made it hard to find a golf ball in the middle of the fairway. It’s a shame, this course used to be much nicer. Seems like the city of Portland has given up on the property.

It’s Red Tail

I was thinking it was just me having a difficult time getting to the greens in regulation. A few holes an are long parr fours and there are tricky ones to boot. Overall bring your A game and you’ll have a great time. Greens are tough, not many straight putts but it is a course worth playing for sure.

We are getting closer

Still some wet areas, the greens were slow but in very nice condition, healthy grass. We will be back next week and maybe the week after to hit it when it’s ready!

good greens and faulty fairways

Lots of lumps and bumps and weeds in the fairways. White weeds and deep grass making it hard to find a ball. Greens were good. Maybe they will get this course in shape later in the season.

Excellent complex

Red Tail is a great place w/ all you need, friendly people. This course was wet and plays LONG!

#7 surely needs to be in discussion for one of the hardest par 5's in OR. 650yds from tips... it's up hill first half of hole, then water in play, then tight as you get to the green. BEAST!

Really a great layout and well-kept course, play here!
