Still Garbage

Start was 20 minutes after scheduled tee time. Took 3 hours for a threesome of good players to play the front 9! Thought things had changed. Hadn’t been there in 18 months because it was just ridiculously slow. Thought I’d give them another chance. Mistake. Never again. And unhelpful staff to boot.

Dear u314162297037,

In our review of our times that day that are kept by our GPS systems, the highest average time was between 10am-11am which during that time was 4 hours and 26 minutes. While this was an average, which means some people played longer and some less time during that period, given the hour before and hour after only varied by 21 minutes and 13 minutes respectfully, there were no rounds over 5 hours that day and definitely none on the 6 hour pace you were suggesting. Again, while our Visage GPS is not full proof, we have found it to be pretty accurate on pace as this is partly how the battery life is recorded by the system which is part of the warranty on the cart batteries.

I only get technical because while all golf courses this time of the year, especially during the holiday time, experience a different level of players, some perhaps who aren't as skilled as your group, tend to come out and play and are not known for their fast pace of play. While we encourage players to pick up once they reach double bogie, or we do move them ahead to catch up to the next group if they fall behind, if the whole course is playing at the same pace, and all groups are keeping up with each other, it becomes a challenge to try to speed up 140-160 players all in unison.

Having said all of the above, we do try our best, we have course rangers on all day this time of the year, our starter has a message for group that we anticipate could cause pace issues on the pace of play expectations. Looking at some of the recent reviews, while we don't receive "Excellent" ratings under Pace of Play, we do not often get hammered with "Poor" anymore as well, I think our Staff do an as good of job as can be expected given the variety of expectations of players that come to Rio.

Again, my apologies on your less than desirable time that it took you to play Rio Pinar. I am very open to hosting you again here at Rio as our guests, but, I will not promise a less than 4 hour round, especially at this time of the year. Please reach out to me should you wish to take me up on this offer, I would be happy to make an early tee time for you to play which I think would better suited to good players.

Sincerely,

Tom Jackson

General Manager

Slowest Ever

Twenty minutes behind schedule to tee off—-and it only got worse from there. Nearly 3.5 hours for 9 holes! On a perfectly clear day. Just awful.

No fault of the course but from the group behind us one person was complaining that our golf carts were placed while on the green was slowing up their play which it was not. I’ve been playing golf for over 30 years and have never experienced the brashness of the person who approached us. If I were a white person it would have never happened. With Orlando stand your ground law you just can’t argue with ignorance . Never coming to Florida again.

Could be a lot better

I’ve always liked the lay out of this course. The greens were in very good shape. Nearly every tee box needs work. The gps for the carts is set up terribly. It starts giving caution warnings when you’re on the middle of the fairway, tells you to return to cart path when you’re on the cart path. This has a lot of potential with having new owners. Hopefully it happens.

Great course! We’ll be back…

I haven't been there for a while, but last week I spent a week playing and training there with my kids. It's amazing how this facility has developed over the last few months. The new owner has invested a lot and put a lot of love into it! The range (Trackman) and academy are brilliant. The staff were great, the food delicious and the course really beautiful! We'll be back any time!

The course's new driving range material condition was poor. Right hand driving pegs were broken so I had to use a tee in the gravel. If you're going to have a unique driving range, keep up the maintenance.

Play pace was awful as no ranger was available to provide foursomes with guidance to quicken their play.
