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."

Very Saf

I wish I could say the course is getting better but the management refuses to put any money into it. If you see any stars past a 2 it is a lie from course management.. do not be fooled. This place has no repeat customers. This course in the past was a wonderful place, the layout is one of the best in Florida.

Good layout in bad condition.

Unfortunately, this course is in poor condition both the fairways and the greens. It is a very nice layout in a beautiful community that needs a lot of work to bring it back to its good days.

Nice layout

The corse is laid out nicely, but the greens were just awful on this day. They had not been cut in days maybe even weeks and they had weeds on them and it was very difficult to putt from anywhere on any of the greens and the tee boxes were not real good either

Terrible condition

Although the course in itself is nice and good layout, it is in terrible shape. Everything needs mowed. The tee boxes need mowed and the greens were just horrible.

Hole # 7 was closed due to water which obviously they have a drainage issue on the course.

The carts were nice though, and a nice paved cart path.

I will however probably play again because there was almost nobody there and I was able to take my time and enjoy the best part of the course which is the scenery. I could work on my game and wasn’t rushed. But that would be the only reason.

I don’t think it’s worth the money for the condition it’s in right now so hopefully they will do something about that.

Incremental improvement

Misc work projects were going on around the course.

Still wet from the storms.

Overseeding took in some places more than others.

Fairways thin but playable. Rough was mostly weeds. Greens need work. Traps had been serviced.

All in all below average course but work appears to be taking place, hopefully enough work to revive the place again.

Needs TLC

This course challenges your game. Great layout. Greens were subpar. Ball bouncing everywhere, putting was difficult much less getting a ball to stick. #7 closed due to water so couldn’t play. Course still saturated from rain as it has no drainage for being in Florida. You can tell at one time this was “the course”.

Redtail Is Decent For the Price

The course was beautiful despite the storm that’s past recently. Hole 7 is closed due to storm water that still hasn’t drained . The greens could have been a little better but the course plays well .

Trying to improve.

Played in the rain so experience was more negative Thor should have been. Tough course, good layout but rough conditions, both course and weather.

Unfortunate

Employee's were all very nice and accommodating, but the course conditions were just awful.

The only reason I'd return is because of the staff going above and beyond trying to make up for the course.

Ed's Review

Good for the price. Minimal play so ut was a fast round. Greens were bumpy and burned out in spots. Hole 7 was closed due to water. Several other holes had a lot of H2O on it making it difficult to play the hole in the normal manner.
