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."

Nice day

There was a junior event before us and there were not carts ready to go out. Once out, nice day. Tough course. Great layout. Will play again.

A great course has fallen.

I love this course, I have always made it a point to drive from the Disney area to play here. I love the mix of holes…short, long, tight, open. It has it all. But it is in very rough shape…the first 15 fairways haven’t received enough water, by a long shot, and the last three were a swamp. The greens were firm but pretty bumpy. Need water and to be rolled. The roughs were sparse, large areas of bare dirt. My hope is that someone will take over and restore the course to its former condition.

Quirky Holes

This course is one of the better courses near Orlando. Some of the holes have layouts that are just straight up unfair. Hole 18 the number one handicap hole has almost a 200 yard carry on your second shot to get on the green. I had a great drive on the hole and had a choice to either lay up or attempt to go for it. I layed up because I knew I couldn't carry that ball that far. When you do that any chance at a par or even to think about a birdie are gone. They really need to fix that hole and a few others that will frustrate golfers and keep them away from going back to this course.

Disappointing conditions

It has been several years since we were in Florida and able to golf at the course. We were disappointed that the course has not been maintained to the conditions it was in our previous years' visits. Some of the fairways seem to be more sand than grass. Some of the greens had been sprayed green to cover up the lack of grass. The drink cart had been broken and didn't get to us until late in the front nine, but only had snacks and drinks. Being it was lunch time we were hoping that she would have some sandwiches, as well. The water and ice machine at the bathroom location was being worked on so we weren't able to add more water to our bottles. After the round we enjoyed having something to eat sitting out on the covered patio. The waitress was very attentive and the food tasty.

Needs work

Fairways very little grass. Tee boxes not good. Greens had some kill in places. Layout was challenging. However, there were several holes you could not hit driver because you would run through the fairway. Target golf forcing you to hit shorter tee shots making shots nto the greens longer. Not my cup of tea. Course could be very good if they put some money into it.

One of my favorites

Great layout, tees to accommodate scratch to higher handicap golfers and plenty challenging.

Beautiful scenery and some amazing homes along the fairways with great natural landscapes.

Very reasonable green fees.

Practice area is quite small.

Conditions are good.

Overall, a true gem in the Orlando area.

Odd Atmosphere

For $42 dollars in peak season I’d say the price was OKAY. The greens were in good shape although the last person who mowed them had oil leaking from the mower and now there are streaks of dead grass on multiple greens. It’s unfortunate because you can tell they worked hard to get the greens in good shape. The course layout has a lot of character and was fun to play. However, the area where this course is located is a bit odd and the staff at the front counter wasn’t very welcoming. My tee time got pushed back two time slots without me even being notified about it and the staff tried to act like the adjusted tee time was my original tee time until I called them out on it. I probably won’t play there again.

Few holes to start

It’s a little quirky to start if you have not played it. Opens up after the start into a nice course. Great layout. Greens and fairways in good shape. I’d go back. Great value.
