RedTail Golf Club
About
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."

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!
Iffy
Greens in horrible shape. We took 2 putts most of the time. Fairways not great. Like the layout but wouldn’t play there again anytime soon
COURSE NOT IN GOOD SHAPE AT ALL !
LOVE TO PLAY REDTAIL ! BUT MANAGEMENT IS HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME TRYING TO CATCH UP ! 🏌️
What Happened to this course?
I don't know what happened to this course. It is absolutely horrible. It is getting very little maintenance. The only thing green out there are the weeds. What a shame.
Player
My wife and I haven’t played at Red Tail Golf Course in about three maybe four years. When we drove up to drop off our golfing bags the course looked beautiful, but when we walked onto tee box of hole #1 my wife and I couldn’t believe our eyes. The course looked like it hadn’t been mowed or treated for weeds for weeks and the greens were terrible as well. I know I booked the tee time on Golf Now, but when we arrived at pro shop worker or the starter should have said something. There were a couple of holes that were beautiful and nicely maintained, but the overall course condition wasn’t worth $25.00 a person. Just my opinion.
STAY AWAY!!!!
Once a beautiful course now it's unplayable. The T box are muddy, the fairways are like the rough and the greens are so bad you can't even putt in a straight line. The sand bunker is now filled with dirt/mud. STAY FAR AWAY from this course. My foursome did not finish 18 holes because some holes are so bad that its unplayable. I give this course months before it's shut down for business.
How bad can it be…
It’s been about 6 years since the last time I played Redtail and from what I remember it was pretty decent. Found a hotdeal for yesterday and disappointedly shocking when we got to the 1st tee box. Extremely poor conditions from the tee box to the horrendous greens. Couldn’t even tell you were on the fairway since it looked as bad as the rough. Such a letdown. Hopefully they can turn things around because it’s not a pretty site!
Course was in rough condition, greens were especially bad, I would not rethink course in present condition
Horrible conditions
They haven't watered greens, tee boxes or fairways in months. We were told this was due to a broken pump. There is no grass to speak of, and where there is grass in the roughs, it hasn't been mowed and is over 6 inches high leading to several lost balls. The course is unplayable and should be shut down. It definitely is not worth what they are charging to play there.
Course need maintenance
This is # 6 hole. Par 3. The fairways were not cut. The explanation given was the course has no water. Don’t recommend anyone to spend their hard owned money to play Red Tail in Sorrentor Florida. The course is in horrible condition.

ByeForNow
Sad state of affairs at Red Tail right now. I’ve always loved the track but apparently they recently had their irrigation pumps go down and the course went without irrigation (or rain!) for 26 days! Greens are trash because of this but the whole course is just a big weed bed at this time with tee boxes bare and only a few holes with any fairway to be found. I’m forgiving for all these things because of why …but still charging $50 per golfer knowing these conditions exist and not giving full disclosure is pretty unforgivable.
Over Priced cow pasture
Wow I thought paying for a great course you would think the staff would worn you of some issuing the course paying over $50. Trim tee to green missing grass and sand everywhere. Most tee booster sand or weeds no lush grass. The fairways you are looking for live grass to hit off of. The poor greens have problems in several ways the birds are digging up the greens looking for the bugs underneath.. if any type of fertilizer was on any greens no damages would happen from the birds!! This is such a beautiful layout goo to waste by the leadership and so called owners of this course.. sad shape
Rough conditions
They do not take care of this course at all. It was very overgrown in. Areas and had weeds and bald spots everywhere. The fairways looked like the rough and greens were half bald or pitted. The only saving grace was there was no one on the course so pace was my pace which did make it a little easier to forgive the conditions
Never Seen A Course This Bad!
This used to be my all time favorite course in the area to play. I’ve been playing here for more than 10 years and the course and the golf club have seen many ups and downs.
I knew they were going through some difficult times with new owners that didn’t care about the golf course but WOW. They should not be allowed to charge money to play there! ABSOLUTELY UNPLAYABLE!
Good luck finding anything resembling grass on the tee boxes. Impossible to putt, it’s all sand and dead grass. So many fire ants and bugs all over the course, the ground is literally moving from all the insect activity.
The cart path on 18 is in such bad disrepair, they’re rerouting cart traffic right over the ladies tee box.
The greens are in terrible shape from lack of water, insects and cranes feeding on the bugs.
Apparently they fired their golf pro this week so they could pay for fertilizer, according to one of the grumpy guys in pro shop.
My advice, save your money and the headache and go play a course that actually wants to stay open!
