Close the course

Amazing how the community would be okay with their holf course becoming a goat pasture.
Its now the worst conditioned course in Central Florida.
Just close it down 👎🏻

Staff is very friendly and helpful. I went to pick up my bag to put on a cart and it was already done! The staff didn't even hang around for the tip I would've gladly given.
The course is a fair test, but you need to know it: there are some blind shots and grassy areas you don't want to hit into. Once you figure it out, the targets are clear and you can really test your game.
6 sets of tees lets you find your yardages (5135-7152). The course is nice but is in a little bit of disrepair: a few tee boxes are being resodded as of this date and, on my round at least, we were using the back tees on all the par 3s, making them a little long for me. There are spots on quite a few greens that you can't putt through: take your choice on whether you tough it out or move your ball.
All in all, I enjoyed RedTail and hope to go back soon.

Course rebounding

Played a few months ago and the greens, tee boxes and fairways were bare and had a ton of dead spots! Now the rye grass is coming in nicely and course is starting to look great! I much prefer playing here during the winter than summer. They also did a great job cleaning up the debris just off the course, making the aesthetics much more appealing!

Wasn't too many people playing so the pace allowed to practice some more difficult shots!

OK. Needs Work

Winter rye makes the course playable but is only a temporary fix. A lot of ball marks on the greens are not being repaired so the greens are bumpy. Many of the bunkers are packed sand so it’s hard to get a good bunker shot. Whoever cut the holes in the greens must have been drunk, the one on 18 was the worst, the plastic cup was even with the ground, my ball hit the plastic and bounced off. It looks like they need to spend some money on a good maintenance supervisor.

So much Potential

The only thing moderately decent about this course was the new golf carts, unfortunately, that was it.

Tees and greens have been reseeded. Another month and I think the course will be back to ‘GREAT’, again.

Recovering nicely

This course is recovering nicely after the loss of the irrigation system a few months ago. Overseed has come in pretty well and should only improve over the next few weeks.

COURSE IS IMPROVING

Fairways , tee boxes and greens have been seeded and it shows. If you are not in the fairway, the rough is brutal. The tee boxes are good and the greens are growing in but very slow. Give the course a few more weeks for further improvement.

Second Chance Failure

The first time I played this course I thought it was an absolute waste of a drive and money. I was then told by several people that it’s in great shape and a great course, so it’s been several years and I have it a second chance. Absolute garbage. No pride. Cost is highway robbery. Course on a Sunday hasn’t been mowed in several days, even the fairways were way to fluffy. Unfortunately I theink the course was poorly constructed and there’s just nothing you can do to fix it, glad I don’t live there! Will not be returning, and will be giving a hard time to the guys that suggested it.
