Red Tail on the Rebound

I really want this course to survive and get back to what it once was, a great layout & fun course to play. Don't be swayed by prior downgrading reviews, The fairways are good, greens are rolling OK (for winter rye & the fact players don't repair ball marks); probably the worst thing is sand bunkers need worked (of course players don't rake & there are multiple rakes per trap), so we played "jungle rules" & moved outta deep ruts/foot-digs. I had a 10am T, joined up with another single, so pace-of-play was whatever we wanted, with nobody ahead & no players within 3 or 4-holes behind us. We took our time, hit some second shots/putts ......why is it the B-player betters the score? The course itself is fun to play, a fair length for us old guys --#10 is a challenge, and we both DbleBogied #18 (a monster of par 4 if weak like me). My cart was clean & fast, but the GPS didn't work (or maybe I didn't turn it on). Proshop (young) guy was very nice & filled me in on some of the course management --- pump-house was outta commision during summer months when the grasses needed watered, so the overseeding in November has helped mask issues from months ago. Thanx to GN for the Hot Deals, and I'll be back ......not only to check progress of course, but also to better my score on #18 (my only Dble in the round).

Getting better

Greens are getting better than it was a month ago but still need work. Not many people out there so pace was good. You can tell the greens crew was working to make it better. Still a lot of weeds on the course but overall for the money was not bad. Will be back, such a great layout if they put money into it could come back

Oh, what a disappointment.

Oh what a disappointment. My friend and I have read the recent reviews saying how much better the course is right now compared to previous years. It is subpar. The only things that are decent are the tees and a few of the greens. I would say most of the greens are in really rough shape, the fairways are needing some serious work. Today is Sunday morning and as soon as we teed off we noticed there was a FIVE-SOME in front of us. I asked the Starter and he mentioned the fifth player would not play But he did. I called in the Pro-shop when we were in the fifth hole to let them know about this group holding off the pace and they didn’t do Anything about it. We will not be back for a long time.

You get what you pay for

RedTail Golf Club was perhaps one of the most enjoyable rounds of golf I’ve played in the Orlando area, The layout is beautiful and offers unique challenges in every hole. You definitely have to think before you hit. Water on the majority of holes with bunkers protecting greens and fairways make for fun tee and approach shots. The course condition was the only flaw, as the rough was indeed rough. Several greens had bare areas and they all played rather slow. Pace of play was excellent and the views are beautiful. Great course for $50, I will be back!

Red Tail Sorrento

This course had a great layout. The tee boxes and fairways were green. The greens were green and inconsistent. The roughs and around the greens were in rough shape.

Just like the title. Thanks to winter overseed the conditions are good. Layout and nature are great. Price is fantastic for ‘busy season’.

Staff very friendly and accommodating. A big thanks to Caden for helping us change our tee time for an earlier one as we had to be back in Orlando for an appointment Course itself was beautifully laid out with a great risk reward options for all skill levels. Tee boxes in goid condition and greens look like they're coming along very nicely, putts roll well and true mostly. Overall a great day out on a challenging and rewarding course! Keep up the great job guys, we will definitely be back! Also the bar was great after the round with fair prices for food and drinks.

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.
