Very slow

There was a tournament. NXXT women. Walking. Very slow. 5 hours. Redtail should not book groups right behind them. Leave at least an hour behind the last group. Or better yet, let the golfing public know what's going on before booking a tee time.

Greens and Tees

The greens, tees, and fairways look really good with the overseeding. But there is an overall problem with the irrigation, which means the rough is rough. Really liked the course layout. Terrain and bunkers are well placed and create a unique course from central Florida. I would go back.

Conditions not great but not as bad as some of the reviews here

Being a temporary transplant from Ohio, I find most of the courses down in Central florida to be overpriced for a non-resident. I took a chance on this course at $50 and it was fine. The fairways and greens are in decent shape, certainly playble. The rough is well, rough- mostly dormant grass and piles of sand. If you are looking to get out and play a round of golf at a decent price then this is fine. If you want pristine conditions, you will be disappointed. If it were closer to me I would prefer to play here as opposed to paying $120 for marginally better conditions.

People do a disservice to these courses by giving them 5* reviews when they are far from it.

Played 2/10

Yes, a few of the fairways looked good. Maybe 4?.?

Yes, a few of the greens were decent. 3-4.

A couple of the tee boxes were decent.

But most of Redtail (Maybe holes 4-15) looked like a dirt bike track. Just bad! Additionally, there were pin placements placed in the worst part of some of those bad greens. 1 tee box was so slanted, I found it difficult to keep balance. It's extremely surprising that homeowners in the tolerate a course in such poor condition.

Positives:

The layout of the course is outstanding! It could easily be a championship caliber course. Everything outside of the golf course was great. But the golf was just bad. If I didn't have an early Sat morning tee time, I would have been outraged with the $50 greens fee.

Great potential, but right now it's just not a good course. 2.5-3* is generous.

I had pics to upload but this app won't allow it.

Coming along well

Fairway, tee boxes are in good condition, may not be perfect but it did not have any influence on the play. Great layout, and great value compared to other courses near. Will definitely come back

TLC Needed

The majority of the greens were in good shape and putted true. The fairways have been overseeded and were full and green. The other areas of the course were in need of attention. Chipping around the green was a challenge as there was little grass and quite a few bare spots.

Improving

Was once an excellent course and can see it’s improving but still a way to go. The course is worth a visit though. Only problem we had was the fact the foursomes in front of us didn’t let us through so held up on every hole. It didn’t seem to bother them at all and the football that were two holes behind us caught us up around the 13th. Think some people should understand etiquette on a golf course.

Rolling Hills

Hard to find course, No directions to entrance till you pass it. GPS unreliable, takes you to the community entrance that has No Entry. No GPS on carts that work as advertised. Fairways hard as a rock and no irrigation at the time. Restaurant not open only at selected days. First time players are in for a surprise when making there shot. Unknown territory in the fairway. Many rolling mounds.

Go for the layout

One of the best layouts in the area. The recent reviews are correct, the course is definitely on the mend. The course conditions are fine. The greens are slow right now as they continue to get the back to what they once were but they still putt true. The fairways and tees were in good shape. Definitely worth the price and trip up there. For $10 bucks more you can add lunch.
