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."

Nice course, but wait until the Greens come back
I have played this course before and really enjoyed it. As all the other reviews have stated, the greens are in terrible shape and I would wait until these come back before trying to play this course. Staff was very friendly and let us know the conditions before we began play.
Avoid at this time.
I have played this course in the past and it has been a nice track. However this time was different. I hate writing bad reviews but this needs to be put out there. The course was in rough shape. After we paid for our round at the pro shop the guy told us- "um the reason the rate is so low "$35" is because we got a fungus on our greens. We had already paid so just decided to go out. All of the greens except maybe two were eat up and very furry. There are other local courses in the area for less money for when our tee time. Eagle Dunes and Black Bear I think was $25. I wouldn't even paid that for Red Tail. Just was not even enjoyable
Great value!
First time playing here, lovely environment. Quite a few holes are speckled with bumpy hills with almost no fairways. I scored well despite this being my first time but I also appreciate being hydrated and having good course amenities, of which there were none. The greens were being worked on but we were forewarned. But when you are told “no coolers” and don’t have a cart person or a clubhouse situated at the 10th hole, you have to be kidding! The saving grace was fast pace of play and a great meal at the restaurant after the round!
Stop bogus reviews
I have played this course since it opened. Sadly it is in terrible condition. Pour course management from top to bottom. Fire them all and start fresh. But for people to go on a place bogus reviews and be allowed to do so is irresponsible of golf now and wrong.
Great potential, but don't play now.
Discounted green fees due to fungus issues which clobbered bermuda greens--bare patches abound with significant impacts on putting. Greens other wise exceptionally slow even for Bermuda.. Fairways were narrow and swampy--they did not drain well with casual Florida thunderstorms. Cross-fairway hazards exist that are not apparent to an experienced golfer and lwould be mitigated by a course overview bookletor pamphlet but none was provided Staff was friendly and efficient but understaffed (sole attendee). Sprinklers were still on when we arrived at the range/practice area--had to return to pro-shop to request they be turned off. Sole attendant--although overwhelmed by a tournament check-in--had them off by the few minutes it took us to get back out there--Well done! Cart girl was present and friendly.
Damaged
Very friendly and accommodating staff. But there are no amenities at the ninth other than an ice machine, and the condition of the course is quite bad. The greens are not I bad shape, they are DAMAGED and some will likely need to be resurfaced. I’d pay $15 or so for a round but that’s about it. With Black Bear and Eagles Dunes 5 mins away and in such great shape, I’d pass on Red Tail.
Greens were not playable
I love the course in all aspects but the current conditions are way below expectations due to the condition of the greens.
The worst greens in the area.
Hadn’t played the course in a couple years. The fairways were in decent condition but out of 18 holes maybe 3 had greens that were playable. Most greens were moldy dirt with patches of grass leading to the pin. The course did give a little discount but these greens belonged on a $20 course not this one.
We've been playing Redtail for about 10 years. Love the course. We'll be glad when the greens come back the way they used to be. But still enjoyed playing at Redtail.
Great layout, but........
Red Tail is one of the nicest courses for the money around. Absolutely beautiful layout, but course is in bad condition. Wet marshy spots in middle of fairways, greens are in even worse conditions. Spotty / patchy / holes .... For as beautiful of a course - fairways, first cut / second cuts nicely manicured, but greens putting surfaces trashed.
Just hoping that this Florida gem bounces back. Love this course, but gonna wait awhile to return - hopefully to better greens.
Course
Course was in terrible condition. 95% of greens are bad, lot of fairways in bad shape, tee boxes in bad shape.
Red tail round
The greens were in horrible shape. To pay $39 was terrible. Because of a fungus, not one green would roll true. Worst I’ve ever seen
.
Worst greens condition that I have ever seen, anywhere
Ive played this course many times in the past. The greens last week were not playable. Literally the worst condition of any greens that I have ever seen. Shameful. Their response after the round is that they would let me play another round for $30 before the end of April. They should let people know ahead of time the poor conditions of this course. I would never have paid to play here. Disgraceful. I won’t be back anytime soon.
Have enjoyed course in past. Greens were in horrible condition management advised us before we played. Hardly anyone on the course. I hope it can be returned to its prior status. Would not play it again unless conditions greatly improve
Unplayable at this time
I hate to write this review because this course is my favorite course to play. I have recommended this course to so many golfers. Played the course a month ago and a couple greens were worn down but the course still played well. Played today and all the greens are in such bad shape that you literally can not putt on them. You can't even move your ball a little to give yourself a good roll. The course unfortunately should be shut down until the greens can recover or the greens are repaired properly. The tee boxes are good and so are the fairways but the greens are just not acceptable to be charging $44 to play. I will be back but not until these repairs are made. Good luck to the superintendent I hope he can brings them back soon.
