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."

Great Course

They had some killing of grass on the greens earlier in the year when I played there, but that is almost entirely gone and the greens are in very good shape. I Love this course as it is not overly difficult yet enough of a challenge to keep you on your toes. Course was in very good shape from tee to green. I would recommend this course to anyone who is in the area.

Hard Work Paying Off

The course has really cone around the last two weeks. The staff is working hard and it shows on the course from tee to green. All the course maintenance guys, pro shop and especially Joe in the cart barn are super friendly. I will be playing here weekly from now on. Great job to the whole staff.

Greens are coming along nicely!

I found course in very good shape tee to green. Yes there were 4 or 5 greens in fair condition but they were much improved from the round I played 3 weeks ago. I will spend more time here this summer. The staff is accommodating and very friendly. Will be back soon.

First Time Playing

Needs work.

You better be a really good player if you did not land in the Fairway if your just off in the rough grass has lots of weeds. Lots of hills I felt like I was on a roller coaster with the golf cart.

Ragged conditions

What makes the experience so bad is the fact that I’ve played there when it was pristine, so sad!!

Definitely Worth it

Great course. Challenging. Greens are under-repair and the pro-shop warned us of that. It will definitely add a stroke to every hole for the time being. It's worth it given the price right now. I would definitely play it again even with the greens in the current condition.

Had a great time!

Jim in the pro shop advised me about the conditions I would find on the course. About half the greens were suffering but the other half were fine. The Greenskeepers are working on it and it will be fine in a few weeks. All the guys at Redtail were super friendly. Jim especially. The Veteran working in the cart barn was super nice and interested in how well I played. I’ll be back soon.

Not Great but not as bad as some recent commenters

Starting with the negative, yes, some of greens are pretty much unplayable; however, most are coming around nicely. But what I must praise about RedTail is the condition of the fairways and tee boxes. They are maybe the best I've played in Central Florida Lots of grass on these; tee boxes to a "T" are level and grassed nicely.

My main point with these comments is, if you can get a decent price, do NOT be afraid to play RedTail. It's an outstanding layout, and you'll be glad you played it.

Disappointing

Played course today and overall it was a disappointing experience. Greens are in really poor shape due to a fungus however what was left was so long and slow that it easily cost us ten strokes. There is a LOT of casual water that is not shown on the scorecard in the fairways. The links design where you never see the clubhouse again until the 18th hole is not golfer friendly. The bar is a hike from the parking lot and there was no one there and choices and prices were absurd. Judging by how few golfers were on the course we were all guessing how long it would be until they shut the course down and build homes on that real estate. Would not recommend and will never go back.

Great Challenge

This course put up a great challenge with the water and marsh land. The greens have a fungus at this time but we still had a blast.
