Redtail Golf Club

We have played Redtail before but this was our first visit this year. Overall we enjoyed the round but not as much as we have in the past. The good - pace of play was fine (4:15), fairways in good shape, tees and bunkers ok, starter was friendly, the layout is great. The not so good - there is construction going on so the clubhouse is a construction trailer in the parking lot, the greens were pretty beat up compared to prior years with lots of ball marks and spike damage. To be fair, we played after noon but it felt like we spent all day repairing the greens. We'll be back next year and play earlier in the day.

New Club House is Finally happening!

This was the only thing missing from making this course a must play on a regular basis.

Kenny and team know how to run a golf course. From : grounds keeping, staff friendliness, making you feel welcome and just creating an experience that makes one want to book the next round there before you leave from the round just played!

When the new clubhouse is finished I'm betting it's going to be really tough to get a tee time!

If you currently own or manage a golf course, go visit Redtail to see the poster child of how it should be done!

Cheers Redtail, nice job!

I travel a lot for work, so I get to play some nice courses. I just moved in across the street from Redtail and it’s a nice little gem. Decent test of golf with fantastic greens. They roll true and even after a day of hard rain, they were still rolling very true. Oh and hey, can we please repair our ball marks? The course can only do so much…But overall, especially if you can get this at a hot deal, I would play this course. I played Turnberry, which is super close (i’de pass) and most of the courses out in Crystal Lake/Cary; Redtail has the best greens in the area. They also do a great job spacing out the tee times. There seem to be a ton of outings and leagues here and they have a bar open even though it’s under construction. So, if you have the day or an afternoon off, I would try to get on for a nice relaxed 18 hole round.

Back tee's look challenging enough for good players. We played the white and I was looking for the senior tee's. Overall a fun course

The course has a great layout. Unlike many other courses where it’s death by straight par-4s, Redtail has very different looks on each hole. Slopes, narrow fairways. dog legs, hazards etc.

Pace of play is decent, depending on day of week. Sunday PM is slow. But it’s a function of the skill level of the golfers who come out and not because the course packs ion tee times.

The cart beverage comes in quite regularly and is well stocked with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. The person manning the cart is friendly and efficient.

My bone to pick with the course is the maintenance and the lack of upgrades. Cart paths are torn up and nasty. Bunkers are filled with dirt and not actual sand. Drainage, especially near the greens and in bunkers, is poor. The clubhouse is nothing more than a shack. They’ve been in business for many years now, and have steadily increased their prices to the point where it’s on par with with some really good courses in the area, and business has been very good. However, none of that seems to have been reinvested in the upkeep of the course. Just repaving the cart paths, and filling bunkers with real sand would improve things dramatically.

This place is everything you want in a golf course. It’s in pretty good shape, has a lot of different types of holes, and plays fairly easy. The staff always seems happy to see you, which is rare these days. I’ll be back!

First time playing this course and will definitely be back again. Beautiful Par 4 island green on 2 holes.

Couldn't have asked for more. Great foursome, great course, great weather, great time. Can't wait to play another round here.

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!

Course was in excellent condition and we hit a really good weather day. Have played this course several times every summer and will be back.

Redtail is always one of my favorite places to play. Course is always seems in very good shape and it was today. . Pace of play was really good for a busy morning. Right at 4 hours. They are repairing the cart paths it looks like. Some really eed it. Staff is always great .
