Slow Greens

Wasn’t to happy with the shotgun start today, but that was do to an outing starting at 1pm. Carts paths are pretty rough, and the fairways were really wet. Overall good course and not that challenging. Two nice island par 3’s made up for it.

Great course and Great Price

I’ve played Red Tail 3-4 times a year for the past few years. It’s well maintained, tees, fairways, greens and bunkers always well cared for.

Course has 4 sets of tees so you can take any challenge you want. Lots of different character throughout the round with many different strategies to score successfully on the different holes.

Staff is friendly. Food is solid and the beer was cold. Pretty great way to spend an afternoon!
