What a great surprise

This former home of a tour event had fallen on hard times when I played it years ago. The course and clubhouse were in terrible condition. I took a chance and played it and was amazed at its restoration. The clubhouse was first class. The staff was friendly. The course was in good condition given that it is winter. Its former glory restored this a rare bargain in Orlando. Once the word gets out it will cost $100 plus a round.

Really good course

It was my first time here and I really liked it. It can be a course that's not too difficult, IF you hit fairways. Spray it a little, and watch out. I had several holes in the trees and it can take 2 shots just to get back out. Tree roots can really jump out and grab your ball if you're out of position. Bunker sand was a little inconsistent, but that's why they're a hazard. Overall, I definitely liked the course and would love to play again when I'm back in the area.

Over Booked

This course is famous for overbooking. Teed off 12 minutes late and waited on every hole. It was so bad that the group I played with (all who I’ve never met) quit after 9 holes. It was certain that we wouldn’t be able to get 18 holes in.

Also there wasn’t a beverage cart which is a loss opportunity for the a course packed full of people needing a drink.

The staff are friendly and this is a good facility hopefully this feedback will help the management to make this a good experience for their clientele.

Fast green

2nd time playing here this week with large group 16ppl. Need work on the tee box but it’s not that important. Fairway is ok just a few bare spot here and there. Green are in excellent shape and fast. For $110 weekends. Can not complain compared to others cost a lot more.

Where’s the ranger??

Course is in good shape, greens running fast snd true. Frost delay in the morning pushed start times back, but thats no reason for a 5 hour round once you tee off. No ranger in sight all day. Terrible. Braylon the cart girl was fantastic, attentive, and on the ball!

Really coming along

First 18 whole course since moving to Orlando. Did a little common sense as my daughter has a tournament in two days. Heard nothing but good things that the layout was great, and new management is putting money in. This is clearly evident by not only how welcoming the staff is, how proactive they are, but also just overall maintenance of the course. Winter grass was in yesterday, so lies were tight facilities overall are really nice, but would likely benefit from different hitting surface on the driving range. Not to harp on the driving range, but the roof is a little low, and in my experience Trackman range app is not the same as the launch monitor.

For anybody that’s from Arizona, or has been there, this definitely screams Dobson Ranch Golf Course vibes, which is a great thing and speaks to what this course can be. Will definitely be back!

Another great time at Rio Pinar

This course is a great layout to play, and has challenges from different lengths and quick greens. Highly recommend.

7 minute tee times is unacceptable

The course is in great shape, and greens are exceptionally fast and challenging. Course is a lot of fun. That being said it took us over 5 hrs 15 mins to finish our round. 7 minute tee times is insane, bump the price up 20 bucks or something. I will absolutely not be coming back as long as they have tee times this close together.

Impressed!

Beyond expectations! I had heard RP had been on the mend and starting to get very good reviews. I decided to give it a go and drove from Merritt Island to play a round. Impressive, new owners have brought this historic track back to very impressive condition. Green’s were very good and tee boxes and fairways way above average. This is a true championship track and now can play like one again. All the staff was top notch and helpful. Restaurant is a bonus as well as locker room facilities. Don’t hesitate, get a time and get out there. I’ know I’ll be back!

Good layout and great at $60 or less!

The tee blocks were okay, fairways good, bunkers average, greens quite good. The cart paths were n ot very good and the rough was poor. The pace of play was okay. We'll play again next tyrip.

Charged me for no show

I’ve never been charged for not showing on golf now. The fact this course charged me 100 bucks is so petty. Say what y’all want but this is not cool. I will never ever consider playing here or ever recommending it to anyone I golf with. Will say this place is a dump and horrible.

Greenskeeper was mad today.

This course is great, but today the greens were all messed up today. Play is ALWAYS slow here, so nothing new there. Putting green was slow, so like most courses, you expect that's how all greens are today. NOPE. Cut so short, only one ball spun back, and it was a backboard green. 14/18 pins were placed on a dome, or where there was only one spot you could be in to not roll 5-10 feet. First time experiencing the "greens keepers girl broke up with him today", and it was rough.
