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."

Unplayable Greens

Almost every green was was in an unputtable condition and some holes had almost no green at all. Staff mentioned it after we paid for the round. Would not go back.

Needs help, and work

So sad that a wonderful layout is in such poor condition. I have always enjoyed the challenging layout. Unfortunately with the current condition it is questionable whether it is worth the cost to play. The greens are in terrible shape, fairways are a bit thin and the sand traps are in obvious need of some TLC. I sincerely hope they can bring the course back to the way it has always been. Would love to come back and see the improvements!

nice course poorly maintained

It's a shame that such a nice course was not properly maintained. All of the greens were dead, some just dirt with punched out holes. The layout is great but with such poor green condition it's hardly worth the trip. Until greens improve, which likely will take months, cost should be reduced to less than $30.00.

Course is going through a climate change, and is playing tougher because of the maintenance to the greens and fairways. But I still reccomend it to everyone who wants to play golf here.

Greens unplayable

Course should be closed until they can fix the greens. We have played numerous times and the greens were fantastic. Drove over an hour and very disappointed. Manager informed us before we played, but should have informed us to save the drive.

Aweful conditions

This was once an excellent course. The greens have become infested with a fungus that has made them unplayable. Tee boxes, fairways and rough are as good as they always are. All 18 greens have this issue. There is more dirt on them than grass. Such a shame. I hope they can fix this in due course of time.

Don't waste your time or your money.

Carts were trash, fairways were below average, driving range/facilities were poor and the greens look like they have the coronavirus. The absolute WORST greens I've ever seen and for $42 this place is a ripoff. They should let you play for free.

WARNING! FUNGUS - DO NOT PLAY!

Got tee time on Golfnow and there was no note about the fungus infected greens. The greens are a mess and they are not playable. This is not an exaggeration. When we got there we were told they were spotty and some areas were patchy. On the course website it says: "Note: Greens are fast and smoothly, but not pretty." They are not smooth at all - they are 100% bumpy and have large patches of no grass at all. You will not have a smooth straight putt all day. When we paid, the course reduced the rate a little and provided a $30 replay with in 30 days but it isn't worth it. These greens are months from being playable. Do yourself a favor and check reviews in a few months or ask someone who has been at the course before making a tee time. Love the course, but it's a ways out from being worth playing again.
