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."

First Time Playing

Red Tail

Course has improved significantly over the past year. The greens are back from almost dirt to being green. However, the eight green is beginning to show some issues and course needs to remain vigilant. Course plays tough, particularly the back 9. The course is easily accessible from Disney on the 429 and worth the drive.

One year later - Still a subpar course.

Played Red Tail one year ago and the course was in poor shape. Played again 1/19 and sad to say, conditions have not improved.

For the good- the layout of the course is nice and challenging. There are some very picturesque views. The staff was friendly.

For the not so good-

*Tee boxes were is poor shape

*Greens are sparse on several holes.

Fairway need some love.

*Bunker sand is filled with nickel sized rocks. Nothing like firing projectiles when playing out of them.

*Cart has no brakes and the canopy was loose which banged on every little bump.

Overall, the course appears tired and could use some attention. Sad to report that I will not be retuning to Red Tail. There are many other courses in the area that cost the same to play and are in much better shape.

One of our favorites

Grass is thin this time of year, but course plays great. Greens are quick. For the money can’t think of many places I would rather play.

Pace of play was beyond slow

With no starter, we started about 15 minutes late behind several groups. There were young teens driving all around in private golf carts throughout the course. There was a group ahead with several small children (ages 5-6) that were running around with tiny clubs hitting off the tees and running crazy on the greens. Two groups sat there watching as the dad totally ignored the backup.

No ranger around to help speed things up so we hit hole 18 in total darkness after starting at 1:20. Greens and fairways are improving but still need help. Will not be playing here again any time soon.

Course

The course has seen better days, alot of mud fairways, greens are like bad carpet. I love the challenge of the course, there were about 4 or 5 holes from tee to green that were in great shape!! Rest had problems, it has potential

Very Dissapointed

I was hoping for some decent conditions but boy was I wrong. The fairwinds are in bad shape and some of the greens are horrible. I won’t be back for a long while.

Course mgmt a must

Need a partner who has played this course more than once. Fairways are split between valleys and waste areas. Sometimes you have to use less than driver from the tee or you will lose your ball in a valley of waste area I.e. the first tee. I will say if your up for the challenge the fairways and greens are in good shape
