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."

Unbelievably bad

I’ve played a lot of courses in Central Florida’s and this is by far the worst course I’ve ever played. It’s got potential cause the layout is awesome and difficult but it just looks like they haven’t even tried to maintain this course. Do not waste your money they’ll try to get you with all day free golf but it’s just not even worth going back around after finishing an 18

Great layout

Has a great layout. Fairways were ok but need work. Greens were recently over seeded and coming back nicely, but very slow. Would play again

Absolutely Awful.

Simply out, it's so bad, that the reviews Leaving 3, 4 and 5 star reviews are total fabrication and lies. These reviews are clearly either members, golf course residents, or people that have been paid to say these things. It's NOT true!

A great course 15 years ago, this place is now a total disgrace. We have played there are many times, but we will never return it is beyond bad.

What a shame

I have played Redtail at least 15 times and the last time I said I wouldn’t go back ! I wish I would have stayed away !! A once fantastic course is sadly finished ! My back yard would be a better fairway and my yard sucks ! The entire course is hot garbage , stay away

Same experience.

Course is officially a dud.

HORRENDOUS conditions.

Don't waste your time or money here.

Add to this the crap staff and you have the perfect storm..

Interesting and fun golf course

It was a great experience overall. The course was fun and challenging, with interesting hole layouts. One downside was the greens, which were a bit slow during my visit and I struggled to adjust to the pace. Also, Hole 7 was closed for repairs. That said, I had a great time and am already looking forward to my next round. This course is well worth a visit!

Red Tail Golf Club

The course is in bad condition. It is difficult to believe that the course receives any maintenance. The layout could make for a fun and challenging experience if the course was maintained. The fairways, greens and bunkers are nearly unplayable due to an inadequate or lack of care.

Great layout needs work

In the process of improvements. Layout challenging, not a grip and rip it courses, you have to think about placement. Lots of trouble to get into. Fairways tough, yspotty, greens ,some better than others. Free replays. I would play again just for the challenge,

Good value

Had a great time playing here. Course was in pretty decent shape. Looks like they are improving and should continue to get better shape. I would recommend playing here.

Christian at the pro shop was the man.

Burgers from the restaurant are spectacular.

A decent course for a very reasonable price for the area.

Green speed was a bit slow

Other than that, it was a great course overall

The grass quality seems improving

Especially, the view of the golf course was amazing!

All workers are so kind!

Greens and tees are overseeded, greens are slow. The layout has always been a good one!

It is a far cry from the old Redtail that was one of the best courses in the area. It is still in rough shape but they are trying! You play the same layout you always did and is a good bang for your $. Pace was super fast and the beer cart is around lots! Good deal for the money you pay!

Great layout

I’ve played the course many times over the last 10 years. I’ve seen a lot of improvement over the last thirty days.. Tee boxes are good, greens are much better and the fairways are playable but need some work. Beautiful scenery and a great layout. Great value from a price perspective.

Course needs work

Course was an awesome layout, made it worth it, too bad the course condition is not great, I know about the water system going out in the summer of last year so I know they’re working on it, hope to see this course improve

Great Layout still, terrible shape

This course was in great shape the last time I played it and my expectations were high, only to be very disappointed. The course was in horrible shape with the fairways being full of crab grass, the greens were in sub par shape, and the 7th hole was closed. I played well despite the conditions but I will say the conditions probably cost me 1-2 shots. Disappointed sums it up, i will say pace of play was great and the carts are some of the fastest I have ever been in. Potential is there but the up keep needs to happen.
