Redtail Golf Club is a private club located in a new housing development with maybe 100 homes built, half of them vacant, out in Lake County northeast of Orlando. It's about 15 minutes off I-4 at the Sanford/Route 46 exit. While it's private, they are open for public play, they just don't advertise it.It's actually a very nicely maintained course with some parkland elements with tree lined or protected fairways, and some more open holes, bordered by lakes or wetlands. Challenging layout, interesting mix of some more easy holes, and some very challenging, especially #18. It was designed by David Harman, plays to 7,100 yards from the tips, and down to 5,500 from the front tees. Another great course and exceptional value. Worth the drive. Played in 4 hours 15 minutes. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Probably not for the higher handicapper.

The course was in awesome shape, the greens were true and fast for Bermuda. The layout was especially challenging with all the wind we had today. The course is mostly fair off the tee, there's some tight landing areas on a few holes, but mostly you can use your driver. Played for $53, seemed like a good value, and played in less than 4 hours, saw the cart girl three times, overall excellent!

The only problem with playing Redtail, the public is allowed out after the member tee times early in the morning, so generally you can't tee off before 10 am, so getting in a quick round is impossible, unless you're late in the day. Otherwise, fine golf course, a lot of variety in the layout, challenging par 3's, and in reasonably good shape, although the greens were a little thin.

Excellent golf course, some elements of parkland with some change in elevation, other holes are more links-like along the wetlands. Course was in great shape for as little play as it gets, it's routed around a upscale housing development that's got real problems, and they're keeping it open to outside play until things turnaround. Play it if you're in the Orlando area, it's maybe 45 minutes from downtown, an hour from Disney
