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."

No improvement

Not better from last month. The cow pastures you pass on the drive in are better condition.

rough shape

this was our first time playing Red Tail. Over all the course if a great layout, there are some long tight drives from the tees, the fairways are broken up so you have to place some shots in the right area.But the greens and tee boxes were rough shape. not a lot of grass on the greens, very patchy. I'd go back when the greens get some life to them.

Nice layout very poor conditions

I’ve played here several times as being a local. Unfortunately the course has a lot of issues. Greens, bunkers, tee boxes and fairways need a lot of TLC. I hope it bounces back.

Needs work

Always loved the layout of the course but the greens are putting through a burn victim, I’ll give them another try soon but it’s going to be a while

Play somewhere else

I've played this course many times before and it's sad how poor the conditions are. First off, if you like to get to the course early to warm-up at the range, don't bother. The range is small and really tore up. The course is really bad from tee to green. The boxes had large bare spots but probably the best part of the course. Fairways were full of mixed grasses types and weeds. Its one thing to have these on the course and its not that bad as long as its maintained at lower height but it looks like they haven't been cut in a few weeks. i've never been penalized so much for hitting it into the fairway. The worst part of the course were the greens. They did aeration recently but alot of the holes were exposed and needed to be refilled with sand. the greens were extremely dried out. A majority of the greens had large barespots and a few in particular had cracks in the soil.

Jim’s review of Redtail

The course is coming back nicely from the drought. The fairways are in good shape and the greens have been aerated several weeks ago but putting pretty true now. They should be in good shape soon. Tees were in rough shape but playable.

Poor course conditions

It’s been several years since playing here due to course conditions in the past. I decided to give it another try. Big mistake ! I will not waste my time or money for this course again unless I’ve driven the course to see conditions. Course has gone down hill. Last time I played they had one hole that had fairway split. Now there are 7 or 8 that they’ve created double landing fairways. Greens are still burned. Cart maps are turned off. Leaves one thinking they are working hard to save money. Certainly not from what they are charging.

Fun yet challenging Track

We play here almost every other week never disappointed staff is great at Pro Shop... Special recognition to Caden, he is a true asset and always goes out of his way to make our the experience so much better. As for the course itself...great track, elevation and rolling fairways, challenging enough yet super fun too... something for everybody. Greens getting better every time! After your round make sure you visit the griil/ bar...again the staff here are fabulous and the prices on food and drink are very fair... As mentioned earlier we travel from Disney area every other weekend and it's worth the drive! Thank you to all at Redtail

What happened?

This course used to be in good shape. The lay out is challenging yet forgiving and it has the bones to be one of the best courses in the area. There were times where it felt like I was playing on a cow pasture. So sad to see such a nice course go to waste. The older gentleman in the pro shop might want to consider retiring all together, he was not very personable, I felt like I was bothering him by coming in to pay for my round. I will not return.

Not the time

Played here many times. Course is a mess right now. Greens were recently punched but are basically un-puttable because of obviously the large punch holes but also lots of large dirt/sand patches. Great layout but nowhere near worth $56. Hopefully they get it back but not worth it right now

What happened?!?!

It had been a couple of years since I played here and it was beautiful. It has completely been ignored and abused. It’s a shame, I don’t know how that community would allow such gross incompetence regarding their course. Dirt tea boxes, all trees shrubs and weeds completely overgrown, patchy multiple types of grass, fairways destroyed. What happened?? This place used to be awesome. I would boycott until there is investment in fixing this course. I can’t recommend this course unless they were paying me to play. Honestly, it’s not even worth $20, but they’re charging at least $60. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Good value

I had glanced some the reviews and thought what to expect....rough..........but was pleased with conditions. Yes, a couple of greens had some spots and the rough was rough in some areas, But for the most part it was great, the fairways were at least as good if not better than Providence which we played the day before. We play this track every spring during our holiday. ....the layout and views are great.

Price was right and as not many golfers were out the pace was three and a half hours. Would recommend.
