Rio Pinar Golf

We played this course several times past few months and never been disappointed. Course layout is great and conditions are great even in the midst of the dry stretches . With so many courses very similar charging twice as much , we’ll keep coming back for sure

Always a pleasure to play this course. Course was in great shape - staff super friendly.

Good golf course design. Par 71 over 7,000 tells you it’s tough. Greens were great. Some tee boxes were a little beat up. Great value and a hard golf course from the tips.

This course can be very challenging if you are not playing the correct tee box, especially if its windy. Right now it is playing firm and fast. The greens are in awesome shape and rolling smooth and fast. Overall great course and great conditions.

Only thing that I would give feedback on to the course is when you order a sandwich or wrap from your golf cart and pick up at the turn, the process needs to be quicker. I've done this multiple times and its always slow, which delays our group from getting to the next tee box in a timely manner.

Staff wasn’t really friendly for someone first time there, they talked to customers like they didn’t want to do anything or help. I was paired with another solo by the starter who apparently thinks challenging the players with his handicap and skill level are a good idea when really it just upset us. In our opinion the starter needs fired or needs to quit to play cash games and put his $ where his mouth is because being a 10 and playing from the up tees shows his ignorance. Good day spoiled from the start by the starter. Just wish he had his clubs and his checkbook because his mouth and arrogance had us quoting him all the way back to Chicago!!

Best greens we played around here since Jan 1 when we arrived

Course was in phenomenal condition. Clubhouse was impressive. Staff was outstanding. Amenities were far more than anticipated or expected. Relatively tight course that rewards shot making. Fairways are cut tight, greens are challenging and roll well.

I’ve played here a handful of times and I love the course, starter and clubhouse staff are awesome. They’re very pace of play conscious which I love. I have 2 complaints that make me give 4/5 stars. The first is having to pay extra to have my own cart, it’s $20 so not terrible but most courses in the area do it for free. The second being the restaurant on the turn is incredibly slow. Whenever I order ahead on the cart and go to pick it up it’s a 15 min wait. That being said the cart girl usually has hot dogs and snacks. This is still one of my favorite reasonably priced courses in Orlando, I’ve played it many times and will continue to.

Great course with significant improvements since last I played years ago. I will definitely come back and play again.

Nice course. Fairways and greens were in great condition for this early in the year. The pace of play was our only issue. The starter allowed us out prior to our scheduled tee time. However we were behind a struggling foursome who had trouble keeping balls in play and an even harder time finding them. We waited 12.minutes on the second tee for them to hit, find, hit, find and hit again and then decided to skip the hole and go to our third hole. A. Marshall warned we wouldn't go anywhere and he was right. At least the group in front was better and faster.

Good experience.

Pace of play was terrible but that’s not really on the golf course the group in front of us were really slow and hitting multiple balls. We started at 4:30 and couldn’t even finish the round with a group of 2 people. Course conditions weren’t great. Greens had weeds growing on them. The driving range looked nice it had track man but terrible set up with range balls laying all over hole 1 fairway.

Nice course. Restaurant and bar are very good...pace of play was very slow. We were out fir over 5 hrs...group in front of us were hitting multiple shots.

I recommend this course. Played March 14 2025. Enjoyed all the changes since the last time played here. GREENS WERE FANTASTIC! Some of best in town. Pace of play was sooo slow on front nine. Asked marshall about pace and he told us we were behind then when I asked group in front of us and us waiting every shot then he said he spoke with them. Rest of staff was amazing! Helpful and friendly.

We will put Rio back in rotation!
