Course Highlights
Red Tail's course layout consistently earns high praise for its fun, challenging design with memorable holes around the lake. Friendly staff, smooth check-in, and comfortable pace of play make this an outstanding value for the money.

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."

Great Greens

This is absolutely one of my favorite golf courses. Redtail is back in the best shape it’s ever been in. The fairways , greens are probably the best in town as we speak.. I have played this course 3x this week already , and scheduled a group of 36 later this month. Let’s get back out to Redtail people!

perfect greens

i played here in february 2021 and they had lost their greens. my round in june 2022 was my first time back and the greens were perfect. some fairways, most of the rough and most areas around greens need some maintenance, but the course was great and being the first to go off in the morning was a real treat. will definitely be back soon.

Really Nice Course

Course is in good shape, it's scenic, challenging, each hole is different, requires use of all irons, good value for the cost, has everything a golf course layout should have.

Improving

Greens much improved from last time, fairways same. Same problem as most courses, SLOW group holding up play. Breezed through 1st 14 holes, on 15 tee two groups waiting to hit, 1 in fairway and 1 on green, you pass 17 to get to 15 and there was foursome going back and forth looking for their balls, went to 18 it was empty, so one slow group holding whole course up! GET A RANGER!!

Not Impressed

This course was recommended to me by a previous playing partner. Played early on a Sunday and pace of play was great 3.5 hours.

driving range was small and barren

front nine fairways were in very rough condition...back nine better

greens in good shape

several holes can't hit driver because the fairway ends

for the same price I would play several other area courses.
