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."

Course and very poor condition

Fairways are destroyed, and greens are not playable either. Rough has not been taken care of in months. It is not worth any money.

Tough but Fair Course

Good layout, with variety throughout the 18 holes.

The fairways on some of the holes was pretty bad, hard to distinguish fairway form rough. The greens were slow and fuzzy.

Tee boxes were ok for the most part.

The course has some nice views, just need to take care of the fairways and cut or roll the greens.

What happened?

This course was very playable but there is some neglect of the course with weeds and maybe an occasional bad spot on the greens. I can see where this course was 5 star at one time just not now. There was water and ice available on course. Excellent layout. Very nice carts but GPS not working kind of a bummer. I believe this course could be 5 star once again with some TLC overall I enjoyed my round and will play again. Don't let the harsh negative reviews keep you away.

Blind Hazards Challenging

A links style course with a fairly flat layout. The challenge is to know where to hit the ball if you haven't played it before. Some waste areas will catch you off guard as it did me. If you can keep your tee shots in the fairway you will be fine. Rough is tall. Too tall so that if you land or roll into it, you've probably lost that ball. Some greens with sand patches on them, but still enjoyable.

Course is challenging

Greens were good, fairways in excellent shape. Rough was way to high some areas were a fool tall. Maintenance was cutting that day so it should be good now.

Challenging Course

Greens were in mediocre shape. Tee boxes not great. Fairways have a lot of standing water. This course used to be Way Better. Needs some work.

Very disappointing conditions

This course used to be one of the finest in the area but has now become a neglected property. If you don’t land and stop on the fairways, a dribbler into the rough will likely be a lost ball. The greens are all dry and full of crabgrass with some having large dead spots, impossible to roll a ball through. The carts are new and comfy with GPS screens but inoperable. Greens fees are way overpriced for what you’re getting…I won’t be back any time soon. It’s truly sad to see this once gem turning into a goat pasture.

So Sorry!

It's a shame it's in such poor share...I would call it a goat ranch, but that would be generous.

Sad

From what I understand this used to be a nice course. It is now in extremely poor condition. Sandhill Cranes are tearing it up as they are not spraying for bugs. Some of the greens were not even putable. Something needs to change before we ever play this course again!

I have played there many many times. I love the layout. The current course conditions are poor. Normally the greens are pretty good, seeing some weeds. Fairways, tee boxes weeds. It has been much better in the past. Hopefully it makes progress.

Used to be a very nice course

The course has a nice challenging layout. However, the course is in very poor shape. They have really let things decline - weeds everywhere including the greens. Also some sandy patches on some greens. Traps were very hard dirt. Not sure I will make the drive to go out there again.
