Course Highlights
Red Tail's course layout consistently earns high praise for its fun, challenging design with memorable holes around the lake. Friendly staff, smooth check-in, and comfortable pace of play make this an outstanding value for the money.

Rating 75.1

Atypical of many Florida golf courses, RedTail Golf Club is a links-style layout dotted with 100-year-old oak trees and azaleas among its rolling green fairways. Designed by Dave Harman, who also did Shingle Creek Golf Club in Orlando, the course features four lakes with water coming into play on the last five holes. Holes 14-18 work their way around the largest lake on the course, while the finishing hole's approach shot plays over another body of water in front of the clubhouse. Located in rural Sorrento a little more than a half hour north of Orlando, RedTail Golf Club prides itself on catering to "members only."

Jim’s review of Redtail

The course is coming back nicely from the drought. The fairways are in good shape and the greens have been aerated several weeks ago but putting pretty true now. They should be in good shape soon. Tees were in rough shape but playable.

Poor course conditions

It’s been several years since playing here due to course conditions in the past. I decided to give it another try. Big mistake ! I will not waste my time or money for this course again unless I’ve driven the course to see conditions. Course has gone down hill. Last time I played they had one hole that had fairway split. Now there are 7 or 8 that they’ve created double landing fairways. Greens are still burned. Cart maps are turned off. Leaves one thinking they are working hard to save money. Certainly not from what they are charging.

Fun yet challenging Track

We play here almost every other week never disappointed staff is great at Pro Shop... Special recognition to Caden, he is a true asset and always goes out of his way to make our the experience so much better. As for the course itself...great track, elevation and rolling fairways, challenging enough yet super fun too... something for everybody. Greens getting better every time! After your round make sure you visit the griil/ bar...again the staff here are fabulous and the prices on food and drink are very fair... As mentioned earlier we travel from Disney area every other weekend and it's worth the drive! Thank you to all at Redtail

What happened?

This course used to be in good shape. The lay out is challenging yet forgiving and it has the bones to be one of the best courses in the area. There were times where it felt like I was playing on a cow pasture. So sad to see such a nice course go to waste. The older gentleman in the pro shop might want to consider retiring all together, he was not very personable, I felt like I was bothering him by coming in to pay for my round. I will not return.

Not the time

Played here many times. Course is a mess right now. Greens were recently punched but are basically un-puttable because of obviously the large punch holes but also lots of large dirt/sand patches. Great layout but nowhere near worth $56. Hopefully they get it back but not worth it right now

What happened?!?!

It had been a couple of years since I played here and it was beautiful. It has completely been ignored and abused. It’s a shame, I don’t know how that community would allow such gross incompetence regarding their course. Dirt tea boxes, all trees shrubs and weeds completely overgrown, patchy multiple types of grass, fairways destroyed. What happened?? This place used to be awesome. I would boycott until there is investment in fixing this course. I can’t recommend this course unless they were paying me to play. Honestly, it’s not even worth $20, but they’re charging at least $60. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Good value

I had glanced some the reviews and thought what to expect....rough..........but was pleased with conditions. Yes, a couple of greens had some spots and the rough was rough in some areas, But for the most part it was great, the fairways were at least as good if not better than Providence which we played the day before. We play this track every spring during our holiday. ....the layout and views are great.

Price was right and as not many golfers were out the pace was three and a half hours. Would recommend.

Pleasantly surprised!

First time playing the course and very happy with it. Greens are good and roll true. Rough and fairways could use a little work. But layout and surrounding area was cool. Will definitely go back when I get a chance.

Round at RedTail

This course has an enjoyable layout. Some of their greens and tee boxes continue to be spotty, although

fairways were in good shape for the most part. The driving range has been closed to non members for several weeks which I find irritating. If they are going to take my money, then open up the range so I can get loose

before my round. The putting area is well maintained but the chipping/bunker facility is in poor condition.

Maybe if ownership spent more money on improving the course/facilities, they would get more play from

the public as well as an increase in their meager membership numbers.

A challenging course

Went there with a friend in the afternoon. The course was in magnificent shape other than a few minor spots on the greens from previous ball marks and such. The fairways were beautiful, bunkers were plenty and you probably should bring your A game if you want to score well. The greens were super fast. Had a few wide fairways but tee shots need to be accurate for birdie opportunities. If you don't have course management skills, you will likely score high here. Greens are good size so you can still hit the green and still have a long birdie putt. I thoroughly enjoyed playing this course and look forward to trying to break par next time.

Getting better

Greens are getting better than it was a month ago but still need work. Not many people out there so pace was good. You can tell the greens crew was working to make it better. Still a lot of weeds on the course but overall for the money was not bad. Will be back, such a great layout if they put money into it could come back
