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.

Style Links

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."

Red Tail

Is a far cry from where it was 3-4 years ago. Fairways need water and grass in spots. Green seem not to have much grass and are bumpy. Is a $25 dollar course.

Used cart

Staff needs to let golfers know when there is no beverage cart...especially on the weekend! This course makes the turn nowhere near the clubhouse. Bring snacks and extra drinks! On top of no beverages cart, the water refill station at the turn was not in operation.

Good value for the money

Overall satisfied for the price paid. No starter so a high school golf team went off in our slot so it went a little slow at the start. Beautiful views and would play again

Fun layout

I enjoy the course layout. Provides variety. Fairways a little sparse. I am guess the recent cold weather had taken its toll. Greens are fine.

Great track you need to try

This is a great track in FL. The course is in amazing shape and the design is fun.

You need to look for waste areas before you tee off. There are some that are in landing zones that can turn a great shot into a bad one. Making you think and considering a 3W off the tee on the Par 5 is a fun challenge.

Move up one tee. There are plenty of options and the wind can really get you. You can hit a normally 230 yd 3W 270 with it at your back or have to take a 135yd shot into a 100 yd approach.

In the winter the grass turns brown but that's just what it does. It plays great. Greens are in great shape.

Challenging but fun to play.

Glad we played the course! The only real disappointment was the pace of play. Other than that we enjoyed our day there. Challenging course but enjoyed playing.

Red Tail worth the trip

We enjoyed the course again as we do each year. The course has multiple tees for all types of players. The greens were in very good shape except there were a couple that did had spotty issues. The tee boxes and fairways were in great condition. We always have Red Tail on our lists of must play.

Great course

Returned to Red Tail after 3 yr absence. One great course with many interesting and challenging holes.

Was in great shape…greens were fast and smooth.

Will try to make the 1 hr drive again this winter cause it is really worth the effort!
