Must Play

I’ve played this course a few times since moving in the area . They do a very good job of keeping the course in great shape . Kudos to the staff for a job well done . It’s definitely worth getting a tee time if you haven’t tried the course . You won’t be disappointed.

All good at Rio. Greens in very good shape. Pace of play could have been much better. Our 3 ball played faster than the 2 ball in front of us. Worth playing this classic design.

The course is in good condition. Fairways and greens are fast and firm. There are a few thin areas on the fairways and tee boxes. Overall the course is a good value. One downside is we only saw the beverage cart once the entire round.

RIO

First time we have played here in about 8 months. We love this layout and have played it many times. When they raised the prices about $75 we didn’t play here but this week we booked it at $56 and it was in great shape. Maintenance were working hard and the starter was very friendly. Greens are quick and true. Hopefully the rates stay down for us that are on fixed incomes.

Solid

Course was very busy for Tuesday afternoon. A Tournament started at 330pm so it messed up the order we played our 18. Which then backed up the course some more. Pace was good until that happened. Greens are very fast and rolled smooth. Bunkers in great shape fairways are definitely dry but no rain has caused that everywhere. Would play here for under 50$ anytime.

Good Experience

Had not played here for several years and wanted to try it again since there have been a lot of renovations. The facility is great now with large practice areas and TopTracer range. The course was in good shape and the greens were great. It is a challenging layout where accuracy off the tee can help out greatly

I was down in Orlando on a business trip and found this course on golf now with reasonable rates. Very welcoming staff in the pro shop. Amazing range to get warmed up at with trackman technology and from being an out-of-towners perspective the scenery and Porsche layout was beautiful. Out of all the courses but I looked at to potentially play on a short trip I'm absolutely grateful that I found this course.

Consistent excellence

I have been playing this course for over a decade and in that time they have continually made improvements to both the course and the amenities. You cant find a better course unless you're willing to drive 40 minutes. My friends and I consider this our home course and we love it.
