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."

Good challenging course

I played this course with a friend this past weekend. We started on time as a 2-some and did not feel rushed from the back and were not on top of the group in front of us, so that allowed the round to flow very nicely. It seemed the course was putting on a tournament that day as some of the pin placements were in peculiar spots, which made birdies hard to come by. Overall it was a good round in right around 4 hours. Could not ask for more.

2nd chance

Red Tail when originally opened was one of the top tracks in central Florida. The layout is extremely challenging. But lack of up keep and the deterioration of the putting surfaces last year forced us to mark Red Tail off our course rotation. Based on recent golf now reviews we decided to give the course a relook, and we are glad we did. Maintenance has cleared a lot of brush making the sight lines clearer. The greens have come back and are rolling nicely and receptive to quality shots. The fairways have some bare spots and weeds. The areas surrounding the greens require the most attention. The turf is inconsistent, there are weeds, bare spots and hard to get up and down regardless of your short game. That being said, based on the price, layout and the greens I recommend giving Red Tail a 2nd chance if you were scared away in 2021.

Tournament

Made early afternoon tee time at a very good rate part was in a twosome, however, we didn’t realize until we were on hole number three or four that there was a junior tournament going on ahead of us, we were behind another twosome, so it took over five hours to play the course, also the fairways and other areas of the course need some attention, on one of the greens there was some live mole cricket activity some areas near the tee boxes were being destroyed by the sand hill cranes who were likely feeding on them, last summer this course became almost unplayable due to them losing the greens , I really like this course and will definitely come back just hope the course doesn’t go down hill again.

Nice layout, good greens, fairways need work

Layout is awesome, greens were in good shape as were tee boxes but fairways were inconsistent, some had great grass others had very little. Driving range was an afterthought and range balls were basically balls probably found in bushes and bottom of the lake not picked over for good vs bad. So much potential here but needs more love. Will be back because it’s priced fairly though
