Holes 18

Style Links
Par 72
Length 7152 yards
Slope 141
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."

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.

First Time Playing

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.

Tee Boxes and Greens

Most of the Tee Boxes were in bad shape and almost all greens were in horrible shape. The fairways were in good shape.

Let’s get this fixed

The course layout is awesome, despite the recent storms, this course was a mess before that. The greens are ALL damaged or riddled with some disease. I love the community and they deserve a better or more conditions course to be proud of.

Would not play until you see tons of good reviews

Great for the golf player that likes feeling like they’re hitting out of the rough in the middle of the fairway and putting through potholes on every green. Used to love this course but they need major work done.

Under construction

3 holes closed, 8 or 9 temp greens. But if get it cheap enough, its better than paying for a bucket of balls elsewhere.
