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."

Great Round — Don’t Believe Reviews

I played here today and was very satisfied with my round. Nothing hindered play, the greens were rolling well, and while there were a few small spots with sand crane damage, over 90% of the surfaces were perfectly playable. I saw some negative reviews that even says it is not playable but decided to give it a try myself. Glad I did! it was more than playable, I don't know what they expect from this price range. It seems like some of those comments might be from people connected to other courses. Overall, a good experience and I’ll definitely be back.

Neglected golf course

Played this course many times and it has never been in such bad condition. The standard of the golf course was unfortunately terrible. Weeds everywhere. The grass on the tees was a not existing, if there was any grass on the tee. Lots of weed on the greens. If you are a decent golfer, don't go here until it is in a better shape.

Turning the corner

This course is completely different than 3 months ago. The staff is bringing the course back to life. Greens are improving only slightly messed up from Sandhills cranes. Course played well . Definitely worth playing again

Not too shabby

I actually really enjoyed the course and it’s my new favorite. So far out of the courses I’m gone to this is the most diverse with 3-5 PAR options. Some putting greens are rough and I did lose over 20 balls because their grass is so high off the fairway but at the same time I found over 20 balls. A win is a win?

Getting better!

Happy to see improvement is being made. Such a great course with a great facility, it would be a shame not to be able to save it. My group played here quite often until it became not worth the expense for the conditions it was in. Played here 9/30 an it is clear to see improvement is noticeable. They have a way to go, but it is much better than last year.

It’s worth giving it another try to help the process!

Course needs to be closed and revamped

Any rating higher than two stars is a fake review. This course use to be one is my favorites but now it is unplayable!! You will lose any ball that is not in the fairway. I wouldn’t play this course for free because you can not putt on the greens they are in such bad shape. Everything needs to be redone.

Needs upkeep

This use to be one of my favorite courses but it is in bad shape now. Course is so bad that we were losing balls in the fairway!! It needs lots of money invested in the course to bring it back to the great course it use to be.

Good Course

This course is very challenging, if you land in the rough just take a drop, no way you are finding the ball, and if you do, you are not getting out. Only negative point is that the cart girls don’t have a card reader, they have to enter the card numbers…

Improving

Red Tail has had some issues over the past few years. Mgmt seems to be working to improve the conditions of the course. Granted it still needs some work but it's coming along.

Great Neighborhood Ambiance

You can’t help enjoy a round of golf at RedTail; the course weaves through a community of luxury homes that will make you smile while you take in the views of good living.

The course is fun and challenging without a lot of water obstacles (refreshing change from most Florida courses).

However, like most Florida courses, the Tee boxes, fairways and greens all have signs of constant use, but you can tell the grounds team tries to keep them maintained.

Great course!! Course makes you play strategically as if you hit off the fairway you are in rough shape. Have to layup on many holes.
