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."

Always fun

Although a very hot day, at least no rain. I would have enjoyed it more if my game had been better!

Staff very friendly and pleasant. We live about a hour away, so, when I see a deal there, we try to make the trip over. Always a fun round, but challenging. Nice to find out that a restaurant is available. Next time, lunch before round.

Course conditions were acceptable, not pristine but ok. Greens rolled true and mostly in good shape.

Fun but challenging

A nice course to play with some rather challenging layouts. The rough was rough so you’d want to keep the ball in play.

Love It

Certainly most of it. There are 8 holes that have tees for Green and White at the same distances. WHY? As one playing the white tees, I get to 18 (most difficult hole) and it's 404 yards, same as green tees. The round was enjoyable until 18. Mgmt. needs to revisit distances for the identical 8 holes. Makes no sense to me.

RedTail has always been one of my favorite designed courses in Florida

The first time, many years ago, I played RedTail, it was in great shape and the course design memorable and impressive. Yesterday the greens were in the best shape they have been in years and I still love the course design. The weed problem in the fairways and the very rough rough will aggravate some golfers, along with the course’s challenging design. If you can shoot your handicap on this course you have had a great round of golf.

Course needs more maintenance

Had a good time; greens are in good shape but fairways and bunkers need work.

great design, excellent greens

i love this layout, and i’m excited to see the greens have recovered and are rolling great. once they get the areas off the fairways and around the greens back, this course will be one of the best around.

Get what you pay for

crab grass all over the fairways. Not enough to where it’s not enjoyable but where it’s a nuisance. Layout is fun and greens are average. Staff is friendly overall I’ll be back but hopefully they get the crab grass under control.

One and done here

First time playing here, and I won't be back. The course layout is undulating and it has a lot of potential. All but two greens were in nice shape and rolled true.

That said, the majority of fairways are ok (at best), but many are inhabited by a significant amount of crab grass, The starter/ranger though really put this course on the "not to play again" list. Best of luck to all that encounter the male Karen of starters/rangers here.

Coming around

Love the course layout. We know they’ve had trouble with the greens but they looked very good and putted well today. Fairways were ok but a lot of weeds around and in the rough. We will definitely play again and again.

Greatly improved

One year ago it looked like the course was going belly up. During lunch residents were very upset about the condition of the course,

What a come back! The fairways are good, some crab grass, the greens are excellent and fast.

Glad to see Red Tail is back.

Greens are in better shape but fairways and tee boxes need help. Weeds are growing everywhere.

Fairways need improvement!

I love this course. It has a great layout that is challenging, but fair. Unfortunately, the fairways, especially on the front nine, need help. The condition of this course comes and goes. I am very disappointed with the current conditions. That said, the greens are much better than the last time I played.

Has gone down hill.

Course has amazing layout. Almost never needing to hit your driver. The greens were in pretty good condition but other than that, course was in pretty bad shape. Weeds, weeds, weeds… all over the fairways and most importantly… on the first cut surrounding most of the greens. Very disappointed in the condition of the course. It has really gone down hill these last few years. The practice area was only big enough to accommodate 3-4 players and you’re hitting off weeds and dirt. There is very little if any grass.

For the price it’s not one I’d ever recommend. There are much better cared for courses for same if not less cost per round.

Truly disappointed!
