RedTail Golf Club
About
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."

18th hole Photo submitted by Jaylo908 on 01/17/2013
Great course!
Great course, little hard but still fun. Lots of hazards so be careful but overall very nice kept up course and greens!
Great course
Been pretty dry lately and this course was in great shape.
Much improved
Greens are all recovered but slow.
Fairways have nice rough
Its worth reconsidering for play now.

Side note---roads from I4 are been reconfigured due to 46 construction.
Slow greens.
Great course. Greens were very slow. Looked like they had aeriated not long ago.
Red tail
Nice course in sorrento fl. Course was healing from recent punch of greens. I have seen it in better condition. Is a great layout just caught it on a time after they had punched. Will definitely return
First time here
First time here and was not disappointed. Great carts to get around a nice layout. Nice growth of grass throughout course. If you miss fairways or greens be ready to layup or face tough next shots. Found it interesting that after checking in to pay for golf you never return to clubhouse. Otherwise the course is great and golf is very challenging.
Greens returning nicely
Staff has done a great job getting greens back. Nice to see “green” putting surfaces. Still a bit slow but understandable as they let them grow in.
Almost back!
Been awhile since I played due to the issues with the greens. They look very good and rolled well but were slow which I expected. Glad to see my favorite local course back!
Disappointed
It had been a while since we played there because I was out for a year after surgery. We used to be members. You can tell they are trying to repair the greens and they are winning that battle. They are almost there. Our cart battery came on around the 5th hole (both carts) and by the 15th hole we knew we were not going to make it with one of them. We called they said they would swap out the cart but nobody came. We had to walk three holes because you could not take the cart off the path without it dying. People got upset because it slowed the play down. I eventually just walked away from multiple balls (hit on the fairway mind you) to keep pace for other players. Cart path only for every hole on this course is impossible. One of the restrooms was quite bad as well. I enjoy this course but there are details they overlook for the price to play. It’s the details that keep people coming back.
So much potential but....
The greens have come back! I played when they were dead in January, but now they’re back. I just wish they would kill weeds around the green and tee boxes. If you’re not in the fairways it is weed city. This place could be great if they could keep things going. I always expect more though. Grrrr
Good course with potential
The greens were in great shape but the fairways, not so much.
Not coming back
We were just there on Saturday had no range balls and no warm up facility. After we made a complaint to the starter he began to berate us like children. Until Jim is reprimanded for his approach to non member you will never see our group out there again or any of our friends that play. Jim is the exact thing that is driving people away from your facility and golf in general.
Won’t be going back
We usually love playing this course due to layout and conditions. Once we heard about the fungus issues we stayed clear for a month or two but heard of improvement so we went back. Safe to say greens are getting better and at about 80%. Staff was absolutely terrible. We were just there on Saturday had no range balls and no warm up facility. I arrived 1 hour and 15 minutes before the round for the club pro to tell us the members took all the ball and they staff was out picking now. So we go to the putting green to get some sort of warm up in and we see the guy whose supposed to be picking the range hitting balls onto the range. After we made a complaint to the starter he began to berate us like children. We’re not permitted to use chipping green for that was members only as well. Every time we go out there Jim is rude and unprofessional. Until Jim is reprimanded for his approach to non member you will never see our group out there again or any of our friends that play. Jim is the exact thing that is driving people away from your facility and golf in general.
Wow, what an improvement!
2 months ago the greens were dirt, today they look amazing. They are not perfect, but more than 90% good. The fairways are excellent, the tee boxes are in good shape. I still can’t believe they got the greens back so quickly. I stayed away from Red Tail because of the green problem. I read a good review so decided to give it a look. What a pleasant surprise. I’ll be back soon. Compliments to the staff for a job well done. I included a photo of #18 green, some of the other look even better.
