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."

Lost it’s prestige
I played this course for the first time in 2015 and wow was it nice! Fairways, tee boxes, greens, all conditions were in excellent condition. Played multiple times until 2019 and it was the same great course! During those years I played It used to be $55-$65 back then and now it’s $35 and that says something. Since 2020 I’ve played 3 times hoping it gets back to what it was. The greens have been bad, lots of patches, so unless you’re really close you will have something in the way of your putt. Tee boxes are in bad condition with lots of fire ants. Fairways aren’t terrible but definitely not what it used to be. Sand traps are mostly just hard all around. Overgrowth on every hole. The layout is great, it’s challenging and fun but it’s just in poor condition in all aspects. Sad to see what has happened to Red Tail
Needs a redo ASAP
Everything and I mean everything needs attention. I lost more in play balls then I do in a month of play at other courses. Greens are terrible, fairways are dismal at best. They don’t cut the fairways like they should. Fairways look like secondary cuts and there is no third cut. If your ball is not perfectly in the fairway, Kiss it bye bye. To be honest they should probably close it for a couple of years and try to recover it. Redtail of the past is no more. :(
Horrible condition
This is the worst course condition of any course I have ever played. If you don’t hit dead center of the fairways, your ball will be lost. Crabgrass on the greens make straight putts without being thrown off target by crabgrass near impossible.
Nice course - terrible greens
The only reason I can’t rate higher is because of the greens. Bring a sand wedge instead of your putter. The greens that aren’t dirt are full of weeds. It’s a shame because the course is otherwise awesome.
Could be a great course
The greens were covered in bumpy weeds and had some areas that were not playable the rough was so tall we lost a few balls that we saw land. It’s a cool course and great staff and you can play all day so it’s definitely worth trying again just need to hit more fairways.
Good place to lose balls in the fairway
This is the worst course I have ever played. Crab grass on greens, hit the fairway and ball disappears in the mud or rolls barely off the fairway into grass that makes it near impossible to find your ball. Lost so many balls and had to spend so much time looking for fairway hits that disappeared we quit after 10 holes. Will not go back.
Greens
I have played it before and I love the layout, But the greens need work badly. I don't know if it's an infection of weeds or what the case
Needs some TLC
Overall this course is in ok shape. The greens need improvement as the turf isn’t in the best condition, with some bare patches and many weeds. However, they do roll well overall, not exceptionally fast but not slow either. Some of the fairways have grassy waste areas crossing through them. This is challenging as the rolling fairways hide these areas until you get close. The grass in these areas is tall, so don’t plan on finding any ball hit into them. The rough is also very tall in many areas, so not very forgiving on an errant shot. Fun and challenging course overall, would definitely play here again if the price is right.
Needs some work
The course was great for what it was. Played 27+ holes of golf for $35, so can’t complain too much for that, but it could use some work. The rough was crazy, if you didn’t land your ball in the fairway, good luck finding it, sometimes that’s true even if you hit your ball in the fairway. Greens were fine, not great but fine.
Good value Course
I didn't expect much after reading all those negative reviews but I enjoyed my round here. There are areas that needs improvements but nothing so bad that messes up your play. Staff was friendly and honest about the improvements they are working on. There are people pay $30 and expect to play course 60+ Price was very reasonable and I will be coming back
Course in rough shape
I understand playing in summer is tougher in Florida but this course was in pretty rough shape. Many greens were completely burnt out and putting through dirt. On many holes as well the rough had been completely ignored and it was like playing Oakmont. Without a great spotter you were losing balls in this rough because it was 6” high.
With some love and maintenance this course has great potential. Layout is great. Challenging shots abound. I’ll try it again in October or November and hopefully it is in much better shape.
Love the layout. Greens need help!!
For the money it’s a fair deal. The layout of this course is really nice. It’s challenging and the back 9 are really cool around the marsh. But the greens are in sad shape. They also need to cut the rough area and do some better maintenance of the second cuts down the fairway. It seems as though they really aren’t trying that hard to maintain it. Seldom see any workers on the course or near the clubhouse. I have never seen a golf pro there. It could be amazing again if they could just maintain it better. But for the money $30 you can play all day as much as you desire. 🤷🏼♂️
Terrible condition
Ive played this course probably 5 years ago and it was a great course and in great playing shape. I just played this course again and what a disappointment. The greens, fairways and rough were terrible. Do not expect to play a great course! This course needs new ownership!!
Kinda Rough in the Rough
The greens were very patchy. The fairways were not smooth. And if you’re a duffer, bring an extra carton of balls for the overgrowth.
Nice people though. I hope they get it back to form.
