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."

Big improvement.

Last time we played this course the greens were basically dirt. WOW! What an improvement. Greens were great and rolled true. Definitely will include in next year's trip to Florida.

Slow Play

Nice course in decent condition. Liked the layout. Only wish someone had told us there was a large tournament being held that day before we booked. Spent 6 hours to play 16 holes and finally packed it up. The scramble had over 100 people playing, would have left except we had already paid for the round.

5 1/2 hour round

The course is still in ok shape. It's been in just ok shape for over a year now.

They had a 100 person tournament. They scheduled a few tee times that went out ahead of the tournament. When checking in, I asked if it was a shotgun start. He said yes. I said so we're going to get stuck behind them. He said no.

Our foursome caught up to the tournament on the 6th hole. It took 4 1/2 hours to play the next 13 holes.

It was probably the worst golfing experience I've ever had. It was miserable. We had 2 holes that each took 30 minutes to play. Most par 5's had 4 or 5 groups on them.

There was no ranger on the course to keep pace of play moving.

Obviously, someone decided that making a few extra bucks was more important than the customers experience.

Nice Layout, should be in better shape-- No cart girl!

Slow pace due to members in front. Had a nice time. Friendly staff... that said, no cart girl! Missing $$$ on St. Paddy's day. The greens for the most part were in good shape. Same for fairways and tee boxes. Just needs a little more TLC. Too bad, it's a nice layout but should be in better shape

Father / sons outing

Loved the course layout / course in ok shape but should get better starting to green up. Greens were decent (little slow) but not bad. Beautiful interesting layout — spread out through out the community and borders a horse farm. Very friendly staff — we really enjoyed the round.

Price Ripoff

The Red Tail charged me the full price rate instead of the TeeOff rate. When I pointed it out to the cashier, she claimed that it was a Tee Off error which was not the case. They subsequently refused to refund the difference.

I have heard from other golfers that they have had a similar experience.

Disappointed

This course has been up and down.

They need to grow grass in the fairways!

Once they do that it will be a very nice course.

Gorgeous layout, but condition is rough.

The Red Tail course is a gorgeous layout. Very pretty and somewhat hilly. The clubhouse is very impressive, as are the homes surrounding it. Unfortunately, the condition is poor. Many of the tees are barren and the rough is barren to the extent that if you hit it on the fly, your ball will roll into a bad place. The greens, however, are in decent shape.

A few other thoughts. The course is unplayable to my wife because the course designer placed hundreds of moguls in the first 100 yards of each hole. She hits a low tee shot, so the moguls killed each of her drives. Also, they should go to a red/white/blue pin sequence so that a player can determine the location of the pins on the greens.

Once is enough

Checked in and asked if there was going to be a ranger on the course the girl said we hardly ever have rangers, well, we knew right then we were in trouble, almost 5 hours later we were right. The course was in terrible condition don't want to waste my time explaining all that was bad. I am sure when it was built it was nice but whoever runs it now clearly does not care. This is a $30.00 course and that might be generous.

Fun day

Course was an average conditions for this time of year. Green are not bad. They rolled fine and there weren’t that many bad spots. Fairways and tee boxes are rough. That is to be expected this time of year. Played with two Canadians and it was a lot of fun. I love the lay out of the course. It’s always a treat to come and play Red Tail. Great hot deal for 40 bucks. The rack rate is 60 now.

Easily accessible off of 429. Easily reachable from Disney. Great layout with some challenging holes; especially , holes 10 and 18. Worth the play.
