Redtail

Unbelievable staff. Course is the best I seen in 3 years.
And they are still working on it. Rangers keep pace of play going which is important to me. Love the food.

Bad experience

The experience we had with this golf course was not good. We started the round with the starter being very friendly. As we approach the first hole the greens were terrible. No one fixes the ball marks on the green and allowed several bumpy putts the entire round. We had to wait at every hole which is understandable from time to time with a crowded course. There was no ranger to help keep the pace of play. When we made the turn after the 1st nine we quickly went to the restroom while my son bought hot dogs for the group. We were not able to eat the hotdogs because the buns were so hard we couldn’t bite into them. The hotdogs were old and you could tell they were sitting there all day. When going to the next nine tee box we had a huge back up. The group that was in front of us the entire front nine were just teeing off and and another group was waiting behind them. Where did this group come from? Well, it was a group of young men that didn’t want to start on the front nine because they would’ve had to follow a women's group and chose to go to the back nine. We waited 20 minutes and the group of young men had not tees off yet or told us why the cut in front of us. I went to tell someone at the course there is a huge back up and they just said ‘I know’ and never did anything. We left the course after that. We missed out on an entire 9 holes because no one cared there was a problem.
We played this course because of the cost. We would rather pay more and have golf etiquette exercises.

Walked

Rude Cashier in Pro Shop

What was going to be a fun 9 hole outing for 4 friends, started off with a very rude man in the pro shop. We had reserved our tee time for walking. After he had ran our credit cards for a cart, we advised him we were walking. He told us we had to come back into the pro shop after our round to get credited. He blamed us for not telling him. When we returned to get our credit, our receipt had showed we paid $20 for the round and $10 for the cart. He said we could only get a $5 credit. He never apologized for his mistake and HIS rudeness. The girl at the bard was super friendly, another girl came into the pro shop to help him and was very nice as well. We ladies have been golfing in the area for a long time and have never experienced such a rude person .... he's in the wrong job!!!

Red Tail is a Nice Track!

We played on a Sunday afternoon and completed round in less 4-1/2 hours, conditions were sunny, dry, and temps in low 90s. Course showed signs of wear but very playable from all locations tee to green. Will definitely play again!

Great course for the price

This course is one of my favorites to play. Not only is it inexpensive to play, but it’s also one of the best maintained courses in the area. The staff is amazing at Red Tail, ownership actually puts money back into the course by making changes and upgrades. I love playing here and will continue to play here.

Former West siders love Red Tail

Loved golfing at Red Tail. Course is somewhat challenging but we liked that. Staff is fantastic! Very friendly. We live in the city and once we head away from Chgo people seem to get much friendlier. Keep up the good work at Red Tail.
