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."

Seen Better Days

Played Red Tail many times and it was once considered a top course in all of Central Florida, and that’s saying a lot. Yesterday I didn’t recognize that course and the new management haven’t been taking care of it because it’s been on a decline for a couple years now. I felt like the price was cheap enough where I wasn’t expecting it to look like it had in 2018, but I’d be happier paying $100 a round if they got it back to that condition.

Awesome challenging course.

It you want to test your skills go play this track. You must drive accurately here.

Beautiful scenery but you don't have time for that, focus, pay attention.

Great clubhouse!

Wet but fun

Other than unexpected water at certain holes (due to remnants of Ian), this was a very enjoyable round.

Greens were fine and the holes I always have trouble with were as difficult as before. I especially enjoyed the wild ducks and 1 gator I saw as I played, Wish the course was closer to me so I could play it more often, Staff was very friendly, I even had a pleasant conversation on the course with one its employees who was playing a leisurely 9 holes.

Usually Good

Hurricane issues. One closed hole. Pet peeve, new carts with area restrictions. i.e. no longer permitted in parking lot. Something I find very annoying. 18th hole tee box for white tees same as green. Should be shorter, more in line with white tees overall. Like the course layout although I don't think I would call it links like.

1st Time at Red Tail

1st time playing Red Tail. There was some areas still wet from the hurricane including one bunker which had about a foot of water still in it. I enjoyed the course layout as it made you think which club to play. It's definitely not a "grip it and rip it" course. Some of the greens were a little rough in places, possibly the after effects of the hurricane. That said, greens staff appeared to have put fertilizer or some other product on the greens. The bunkers do need work.

All in all I enjoyed golfing at Red Tail and I will return.

One of our favorites

We try to play Redtail whenever possible. My playing partners live in Leesburg and I live in Orlando, so it is midway. Excellent layout and pace of play is normally very good

Friendly course

On the weekends, this course could definitely use a Marshall. The pace of play was really slow. We left after 14 holes and 4 hrs in at that point.

Course Underwater

Greens were great but So much water still left on the course left a lot to be desired. 7th hole was completely closed, and many holes, hitting into the rough meant hitting into a swamp. I’d come back but not for a while to let things dry up.

Slight storm damage

Have played the course before and loved it.

Today, one hole closed due to Central Florida flooding from Ian, and can see the damage caused to the course.

All in all still excellent, damage to a couple of greens, but they still had wonderful putting surfaces.

Still worth a look anytime.
