Amazing customer service in every way

I had a reservation at Turnberry which they would not honor due to overbooking. I called Red Tail and got the best customer service of my life. They took care of me and gave me a truly memorable golf experience. I will be back many times. Beautiful course and even more beautiful people. Their staff make this course so worth it. They exemplify what customer service is all about

Awesome Course!

Best greens and bunkers that I have played so far this year. I was surprised how well the bunkers have been maintained. The greens are TRUE!!! Ball did not bounce at all after you putt. Hats off to the course superintendent and his team. They are doing great work!

Monday on Saturday....

It’s unfortunate to have slow play on Monday, especially with rangers on course. Had a group in front who played tees better than their game, which backed things up. C’est lla vie. Plenty of other courses around this area

Perfect

This course gets better and better everytime I play it. The weather was ideal, the fairways were cut perfect and the greens were smooth. Some of the tees were I. Different spots that made the round better. A gem!

Had a great time here with my friends and such a well maintained and beautiful course. The Ranger was very kind and let us know about an approaching storm and kept us updated on this. Appreciated that so much. Definitely will be back

Won’t turn down money

Called and booked a tee time, got out on the course and by the third hole the tee boxes were 3 groups backed up. They overbooked the course and they new it. The greens were horrible, tee boxes were horrible. The upkeep of the course in general was horrible. Use to like this course but it’s obvious there’s something going on behind the scenes and it’s mismanaged. I heard this from a few people this year and I experienced it in person..

Another great day at Red Tail!

Spent Father’s Day with my wife riding along as I joined a gentleman and his two sons. We had a wonderful day on an outstanding course - in top condition! Red Tail is a fun, challenging course - always a pleasure to play. I’ll be back!
