Poor Maintenance

Just played this course for a twilight round. Greens were slow and had a lots of rough spots. Fairways were patchy with really dry spots and other areas of really soggy spots. The grass was also extremely long in parts of the fairway that were at least green. Was not a fan and will most likely never play here again.

Concrete anyone?

If you like concrete fairways, this is the course for you.

Notorious around town for terrible pace of play

Red Tail is deceptively hard, with lots of tight fairways and hazards in play. I like the course but the pace of play is complete garbage every time I play, always takes way longer then it should.

Really, best ball?

For some reason a group of 6 players were allowed to play their best ball game during late morning early afternoon play.
Play was slowed down to a newer crawl on a 90 degrees day.
On the other hand, the greens were just remarkable, smooth and true rolling. Overall this was a remarkable day on a gorgeous course. I’ll be back thanks in part to the apologies of the staff for our pace of play.

Very wet in places

It hasn't rained in a few days, but there were areas of the course that were extremly sloppy
I found a few balls drilled into the muddy turf, and almost lost mine. But after a few minutes and 6 eyes balls it was found.
Not sure if the wet areas weres were caused by the irrigation, because there were areas that were dry as could be

Unplayable when wet and soggy

Very poor conditions but I can’t place the blame entirely on Redtail given our extremely wet weather lately. And, it’s a muni course after all. Balls in the fairway become plugged or unfindable. If you’re in the rough that’s at least 2 additional strokes tapped on. Very frustrating to say the least. The only benefit of having bad conditions is no one else really wants to play so we were able to finish 18 in just under four hours.
