Challenging and fun
Course in excellent condition for so early in a wet season . Greens were very good. Course layout is fun and very challenging, especially the back nine , but front is good - back very good.
The Go-To Course in Beaverton
RedTail is easily the go to course in the Beaverton and West Portland area for the everyday golfer.
The Practice range and facilities are the best you are going to find without going to a private club or Country Club, and the ProShip is the best in the area. The Pro Shop has lots of deals and sales going on all the time for Golf apparel. clubs, golf balls and more.
Since this is so popular, the course is usually filled with the everyday golfers and typically a younger demographic.
The course isn't too difficult by any means, but the conditions are usually a little wet and due to being pretty packed during the peak season, because of this, the course can be a little rough sometimes.
The last time i played (March 16th) the fairways were not even fairways, but they were mud filled with long grass, you were almost better hitting in the rough areas rather than the fairways because your ball would get plugged into mud and lost in the fairways. But this is mainly due to the heavy wet season we have had.
During the late spring and Summer the course is pretty well maintained, apart from the greens which are usually a little rough due to the volume of golfers.
All in all i would absolutely golf here again, preferably later in the season when the course has some time to grow and get to it's potential.
Swamp
For 64 dollars I could play quail valley and it's in better shape. I get we live in oregon and I get that it rains. I just want red tail to charge a better price it they can't even use the mower in the fair way for over half the course. Most course will offer a discount when they sand the greens, red tail should offer a discount if the ball plugs in the far way on 80% of the course. The other thing that bugged me was the Marshall was on use for pase of play when we had play for 2hrs 30min on 12 hole. If the course is the reason the pase of play is slow they should not try to shoe horn as many people in to the course. I will not be coming back to this course.
Muddin' Season
Mud, wet mud, sloppy mud and slick mud.
Enjoyed the course layout, greens were slow bit fair.
Knew it was going to be sloppy and it did not disappoint. Sucks losing a ball that plugs in the fairway, but such is winter golf in PNW. Enjoyed the round and the Bald Eagles on 17.
Greens
Looks like some type of disease has taken hold of the greens. Back 9 worst than the front. Unfortunately this course has many issues, but so much potential at the same time.
5 hour round as a single…
Lost 5 ball plugged in flooded fairways teeing off. Heavy rain prior days, but still bad drainage course. Tee off at 10:00 finish just past 3:00. No Marshall or beverage cart. Not worth it for the price. Green fees higher than other courses nearby.
Thanksgiving Golf in Oregon
Great public course - they do the best they can with the crazy Oregon weather conditions !! It’s my home course
Slow play
The pro shop had single join a couple and myself, great we are a foursome now. Unfortunately the single kept repeating “I never play before, only practice. Well their turn to tee off and they didn’t know or have any tees. 🤦♂️ They also slowed us way down due to no golf knowledge, leaves bag in all the wrong places. By the 4th we are holding up about 3-5 groups at this time the players assistant arrives to tell us to speed up, at this time I informed the players assistant about our playing partner and ask him to tell our slow player how and to speed up and he says ok. Fortunately for everyone behind us they only played nine holes. By hole 11 we are now waiting for the group in front of us and I noticed one player is playing the black tees and can’t hit the ball more than 150 yards, and the kicker the ladies were playing the white tees and hit it about 75 yards. Redtail is the longest round in Portland.
The greens were just plugged and that’s understandable but the big patches of no grass on the greens to the point that it influences your putt 12 was really bad.
Rude Starter , anyone above a 10 handicap stay clear of this course
The elderly gentlemen who originally was there as the starter was very respectful and professional. Then a man in his 40s with glasses came and took over. He was very rude to my playing partners. They were clearly beginners, and he heckled them right off the first tee. They usually are pretty solid, but when someone is talking trash to them about people behind them, it makes anyone more stressed and uncomfortable. If this course does not want to allow high handicappers onto the course, they should clearly state that, and not cram groups of 4 sending them out every 10 minutes. I am pretty sure the low handicappers and scratch golfers would not want to play a course this beat up. If I knew how rude the starter was going to be, I would have gladly taken my $51 back and gone to play somewhere else. If you are new to the game, stay far from this course. If you want trimmed fairways and rolling greens stay away from here. There is so many things to do on a day off, just keep redtail off the list.
Not a course I would recommend
The course was overbooked and the pace of play was way too slow. The Older Marshall was very nice and professional. Unfortunately the course is overbooked, and just took way too long. The tee times are spaced too closely, and the course was in pretty bad shape. It needs a lot of work, and needs to be managed more efficiently. I will not being returning to this course.
A decent public course
The staff encountered were very pleasant and efficient. The lay out is very nice and posses some great challenges, with some great risk reward shots. The sand was in good shape and greens were Pretty good. Missing some grass or was thin in some areas of the fairways. Overall a good experience and I will be playing. It again when visiting the Portland market.
