Great Course, Great Value

New to the Northern burbs, so this was my first time playing Redtail and I thought the course was awesome. Great value for the money, $38 for 18 w/cart on a weekday....I thought the layout was really good, very player friendly. Greens have plenty of slope, which could make them very challending when they start moving the pin around to the different areas. The course has plenty of elevation changes and elevated tee boxes thoughout the course. I was suprised to find the greens rolling as well as they were for the 20th of March. I can't wait to get back here later this summer when the course is green and playing at it's full potential.....5 Stars!

Slow Greens

Wasn’t to happy with the shotgun start today, but that was do to an outing starting at 1pm. Carts paths are pretty rough, and the fairways were really wet. Overall good course and not that challenging. Two nice island par 3’s made up for it.

One of my favorite courses in Mchenry County

One of the few courses in the area where the driving range that you can actually hit from the grass. Redtail is a fun and challenging course. The crew there keep it in great shape. And the staff is always friendly and nice.

Good Layout; time for a big facelift

Been playing this course for the last 6 years. Love the layout. Different looks and really forces you to think twice about club selection off the tee. 4 sets of tees (including women’s) that allow golfers of all abilities and ages to play decently and enjoy the round.

However, the course needs a major facelift. The cart paths are too worn and there are huge potholes in them. The drainage could use some upgrades as well, especially around bunkers and on flat/lower-lying fairways. Greens are in good shape though.

The clubhouse needs a rebuild as well. Still looks like a temporary structure. The course gets a lot of traffic and has done very well in the past 5 years, with tee times always sold out in spite of some steep pricing.

Time to put all those monies towards these upgrades.
