Rio in Great Shape!

I have played this score several times over the years. It’s a challenging, nostalgic place to play. The staff is always very helpful. The course conditions are in the best shape I’ve ever seen them.

Would highly recommend playing here provided you can get a decent rate. Remember to bring crackers for the fox squirrels.😁

Great layout but ended up stuck behind a group of 5 new players to the game. Front 9 took 3 hours, ended up leaving the course on the 12th hole

Course is in great shape

I played a morning round and was paired up with a couple of guys who turned out to be very friendly and about the my level of play. The course was in excellent shape. Pace of play is sometimes an issue here, but that was not the case this time. We breezed through the round and had a good time.

Incredible Improvement

This was only my 2nd time playing Rio Pinar. I played in August 2024 the first time and wow this course has changed for the better! The whole vibe at this place is nice with the driving range and clubhouse. I hope it stays improved from here. Definitely coming back and highly recommend!

Poor customer service

My buddy and I played a round here recently and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience—not because of the course itself, but because of the staff. Despite having to wait on nearly every hole for the group in front of us, a staff member approached us twice—once at the turn—and told us, word-for-word, “you’re not good enough to play from these tees.” For context, I’m a ~10 handicap and my friend is newer to the game, but we were playing at a perfectly reasonable pace considering the course traffic.

The same staff member also told us to “hurry up” because we were supposedly holding up the group behind us—even though we had to wait to hit most of our shots. His tone was rude, condescending, and completely uncalled for.

We couldn’t help but feel like we were being unfairly targeted. As a Hispanic man and a Black man trying to enjoy a round of golf, this experience left a sour taste in our mouths. Golf should be welcoming and inclusive. Unfortunately, this staff member made us feel the opposite.

Good morning Joseph, Regarding your review, I first wish address the fact you brought up a racial aspect of being a "hispanic man and black man trying to enjoy a round of golf" with some inference that race was part of this situation, it was not...what was part of this situation was this. While you may be a 10 handicap, your partner was not and you are playing off the Black tees which you should not have been based upon your partners level of ability. To point we observed on #10 tee balls being hit directly left of the tee into a neighbors yard and your golf cart getting hit by one of the tee shot when it was parked right beside the tee ...you as a 10 handicap should have recognized that these were not the correct tees for him and while you may wish to hit off those tees, he should have moved up. The second point which gets to your comments about not holding up anyone as you were waiting for the groups in front of you. You being a 2-some we would expect you to keep up to a 4-some, what the issue was to the ranger/staff and groups behind you were your constant taking/making of videos, whether for personal enjoyment or for Social Media posting, doesn't matter, when your on the tee and the group is out of range you hit your shots and move to the next shot, you don't spend time taking/making videos as it is frustrating to players behind you to watch this when you should be out at your ball getting ready to hit the next shot. People have no issues with waiting for you to hit your next shot, but do have issues when shown a complete disregard for the etiquette of the game and common courtesy and respect for other players on the course to keep up with the group in front of you. Golf is a welcoming and inclusive game, what is missing today is the respect for others on the course and a sense of decorum and etiquette that is part of the game. All our staff was doing was speaking on behalf of the players behind you who were watching and waiting for you and your partner to keep up with the groups in front and play ready golf, there was no racial bias, there was no golf ability bias there was simply an expectation of respecting others and the golf course. I fully expect you to not return to Rio Pinar because of how you perceived you were treated and that is unfortunate because, as you can read from other reviews, this is a fine golf course, in very good shape with friendly staff and we do provide a very good experience for the money spent...but we do have expectations of our Members and Guests.

Certainly not the last! Course conditions were good, and the layout was beautiful. Some tough greens, and I didn't plat them too well, but I enjoyed the experience. Club house/dining room was excellent. Great food and varied menu.
