Typical South Florida golf course

Very nice layout with greens that are true and consistent. Water on many holes, but nothing that is a surprise. Gas powered carts are not appreciated--hesitation is a problem. Just jamb the pedal and it will work fairly well. Good practice facility with balls included in greens fee. Fee, BTW, is very reasonable for the off-season, so it's almost uncharitable to complain. But, the assistant who checked us in at 7:15 on 5/19 was decidedly uninterested in being welcoming--all business, no eye contact. Not so with the starter and the cart jockeys.

Great mountain course

RedTail development has been through a number of owners over the last decade and each has invested considerable capital in clubhouse and course improvements/beautification. The latest owners are no exception. For one who has played this course at least three times every year for the last 15+ years, it has only gotten better every year.
A major plus is the leadership of head pro Sam Adams, a former PGA champion, who exemplifies positively all that golfers could expect.
The nines have been switched, which actually improves play, although the change is to accommodate building a new pro shop near the former 10th tee.

urban surprise

Although some holes are next to Costco, etc., this is a welcome surprise. It's a moderately challenging layout, with some unexpected deep terrain on a couple of holes. With a mountain ridge line as backdrop, it's every bit as nice as the more pricey courses. There are quite a few holes that require your camera as well as your most accurate shots.
