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."

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.

We just happen to really like this course. Have played 2-3 times annually over last

3-4 years. At Golf Now; Hot Deals, its

worth it.. Staff and Grill go extra for players.

We wish them well and will return in a

few months.

Cry a tear

I paid $20 to play but they should have paid me $20 to play there. A few years back one of the best tracks for the money. Now don't bother. Its going to take time and money to get this to playing condition. So sad.

Most Truthful Review.

The course is so damaged that there is no way the golf course will recover anytime soon. It will take a year if not multiple to get this place playable again. 3 Holes were closed. And most of the holes greens were closed and they had used portions of the fairways to create temporary greens shortening your play by close to 70 yards. Multiple tee boxes were closed. The greatest challenge of this holf course is overcoming that most of the fairways and greens were borderline rough. The best amenitie is the bathrooms along the way and the luxury golf carts.

This is 100% true.

I've known this course for 20 years and it's now a horrible place, run by clueless and self absorbed staff.

If BB touches a course, it usually dies..

Those who know, know...

Place is just AWFUL.

The greens are bad

I had played here a few months ago and the course seemed to be coming back especially the greens. But now the greens are full of weeds and dirt.

Stay away

If you are reading any positive reviews they are false. The greens are gone and will take a year or so to recover. The fairways are mixed grass.. the mounds are round the greens have no grass and/or weeds and that is all. It is sad what this course use to be like. If you pay more than $20 go somewhere else and for this place for a while..

Rough Shape

Course was in rough shape, greens were under repair , no heads up given on Golf Now, me and my playing partner gave up on the course after 6 holes it wasn’t worth playing! We should have been given a refund! Manager said there were plenty of signs stating course condition! You couldn’t drive on the fairways because they were trying to recondition the course, which were didn’t know until hole number 5 when a course worker told us, there were two holes closed which we found out after we arrived at hole four and no hole was found! A terrible experience all around!

Worst course I’ve ever played

Truly a terrible golf experience 2 holes were closed completely. Most of the greens are chopped up with weeds on them and that’s if you even get to play a green. Most holes have makeshift greens in the middle of the fairway. There were rocks in the sand traps. Just honestly a horribly managed course. Pace of play was so high because I was the only person on the course.

Terrible Condition

This course was in fair to good shape a few months ago. They have lost the greens, the fairways and bunkers are overrun with weeds. After the first cut off the fairway, the weeds are terrible.

Bunkers were pitted and overgrown.

I love this layout but something bad has happened there.

Greens need improvement

Love the layout but probably because of weather and rain? Greens were often bare and rough was too rough with high grass and wetness. Very friendly staff. I would play again because I love the layout except maybe the dreaded 18th but I would not recommend it to the really serious golfer until greens get better.
