After the amount of rain in Portland this spring, the course was in great shape from tee to green on every hole. The only issue was pace of play… at 5:10 from a morning tee time there was too much waiting in the tee box and fairways. I’ll be back, just not on the weekend.

This is the closest course to my home so I play here about once a month. The greens are True and roll great, but the fairways, bunkers, and tee boxes need some TLC. I play early in the mornings so pace of play is not an issue (under 4 hour rounds), but if you go out after 9am on a weekend bring supplies for a 5+ hour round. Yes there are better maintained course around the Portland metro area, but for the cost Redtail is a good deal and challenging track.

When I first started playing Redtail 8 years ago the pace of play was the worst in the Portland Metro area and the fairways and greens were in bad shape. I came back recently after a few years away and the greens are much improved (if you miss a put it is YOUR fault), but the fairways and tee boxes still need some more attention. They seem to be headed in the right direction. The fitting center is great and the staff have always been generous with their time and very helpful. Lastly the pace of play has gotten better, a morning round takes between 3.75 to 4.25 hours (walking).
