Really good course, but drains poorly

The course is a delight - so well laid out, beautiful, and appropriately challenging. But the drainage is awful. Yes, I'll play it again but will try to avoid going soon after a rainy period.

Great course, not great condition in winter, needs better drainage. But overall good for the money!

Why do I do this to myself

I like the layout of Red Tail and every so often I convince myself I should book a tee time. About three holes in I regret that choice. The course is not well maintained, summer or winter… doesn’t matter. During the winter there is no such thing as a fairway. During the summer the tee boxes are often over grown.

The conditions may be horrible the pace of play might be worse. At minimum it’s going to be a five hour round playing there on a weekend or holiday but probably closer to six. The group ahead of us were two holes behind at one point.

Very soggy but playable

The fairways were very wet and carts were cart path only. Walking through the mud was challenging but doable for the most part. There were some spots of standing water but winter rules allowed us to find a dry spot to hit from. The greens were in very good shape and putting was very normal. For winter golf it was fun and not too difficult to actually play golf,

Winter golf at redtail

Shot my best round of the year playing with two randoms! 88. +5 on the front forgot how to play on the back with +11 lol. Fairways are decent, and the greens weren’t frozen.

Good but it’s winter

It would be nice if the compressed air and water were turned on to clean up all the mud after a round.

First Time Playing

Marshall made a great suggestion.

Marshall suggested that we hit off the red tees as it was our first time playing the course. We did that and totally enjoyed our round as the course has some subtle innuendos. We would probably play the same tees the next time we go and then move back to the white tees as we are seniors.
