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."

Poor condition

I've been wanting to play this course for a long time and when I got the chance to get s good deal all I could do is grab it. I was all excited to play and when I got there I was ready to enjoy a beautiful day golfing only too be extremely disappointed. The course was out of in very poor condition. The fairways are anytime but fair. The greens are more like a pale shade of brown. Even the sandtraps are in bad shape with grass growing in them and hard as cement. It was truly s disappointment.

Course in bad shape

Most tees have very little grass and the fairways are also in rough shape. Greens have a lot of sand spots coming through and clumps of what looks like crab grass. Very hard to putt. I played here two years ago and it was really nice.

Sad, just sad

Very disappointed. This used to be a premium course and I considered it a treat if I wanted to play somewhere really nice. Beautiful layout, beautiful entry to the place, and beautiful homes. I just can't see how it's been let go so bad. Guy at the desk said it's coming back...I doubt it. Said besides not having hardly any rain, the water pumps were not operational for 18 weeks. Should have been a priority if that's the case. But honestly, it lacks more than water. Fire the management and make a decision to get this once awesome course back in shape or just submit to defeat and make room for the weekly 1,500 migrants moving to Florida by making use out of the wasted space. Sorry, I usually don't bother with writing bad reviews but Redtail needs a wake up call.

Horrible shape

The tee boxes were awful, the greens had more weeds than grass and the fairways were barely grass.

a few of the greens and fairways were in not great shape. The bunkers were wet sand, from the rain, but 48.00 for 2 players was not bad. I would play it again.

Course conditions

The course isn’t in the best of shape. A lot of tee boxes are dirt with some patches of grass. Fairway are decent. About 40% of the greens in good shape. Greens and tee boxes need some help. Nice clubhouse. Nice pro shop. Friendly cart girl. Staff is very friendly.

No Up-keep

Overall terrible condition. It seems as if the neighborhood teenagers have taken this place over. Greens are mostly unplayable, fairways are like the rough. The rough is like 8 inches of thick thick grass so good luck finding that ball. Having to drop a ball because you hit your drive 1 foot off of the fairway into the rough is just not acceptable. $1 per hole is too much to pay for these conditions. Beautifully designed but just poorly kept course. Will not be back until I see some consistent reviews stating that things have changed.

They’ve Given Up

It appears as though they’ve given up on this course. The greens were horrible as were the fairways too. This used to be such a great golfing experience, but I won’t be going back.

Very sad to see the course get this way!

I have played this course a good dozen times. I hadn’t been out in several months, went out last weekend & I couldn’t believe my eyes! This is a good solid track & it’s gone from lively to 1 star conditions. I sincerely hope they can turn it around, very sad to see the course get this way!
