Rio Pinar Golf

We like to stay close when we can, we'd rather golf than drive to and fro. We had an amazing experience yesterday. The course is in gorgeous condition. We'd not been here for 2+ years, due to an unpleasant experience on our last visit. We have completely changed our minds. Staff members were welcoming and cheerful, the course Ranger was exceptionally helpful. He kept the course moving, and shared friendly conversation. The restaurant looks beautiful and the restrooms are CLEAN and well stocked, both in the club house and on the course. We have already rebooked for next week!

Course was in great shape considering they had just sanded and rolled the front nine the day before. My buddy and I didn’t play our best, but still had a good time, and while the temperature rose we had a gentle breeze all day. Then we finished it off with Birria tacos in the clubhouse.

I play here about once a month and usually enjoy it...today the rough was 6" deep probably due to wet conditions but finding a ball 2 feet off the fairway very annoying...they location regulators on their cart that were totally messed up...driving down the middle of a fairway and the cart would stop...generally I find them a very unattractive aspect to the round

Great day on the links at Rio. They have really invested

In the club house and the range…. Top notch

The staff was very friendly and helpful and made us feel welcome

After lots rainfall over the last 2 plus weeks the course is finally drying out some and allowing for some mowing of the fairways. Still some wet spots but drying out. The rough was little long because of the weather but still a fun course.

Cost the four of us 270.00 to play this course and we're told no carts availible due to weather conditions so we would have to walk. So we bought pull carts and said ok we'll walk. It was my two sons birthday present so it didn't matter to them as they wanted to play this course on their birthday. We were told for the inconvenience we would get a 15.00 per person credit that was denied at check in. We were also told we would get range balls, we did , about 20 for the four of us and the range was destroyed. Grass mats with no tees. They have flight scopes on everyday that weren't installed or working but advertised as they had them. We need off on time and walked the first hole. It was a swamp literally. We looked behind our steps to see the pull carts left ruts in the fairway and our feet sunk 1 to 2 inches in water and mud. We thought maybe hole 1 was just bad so we tried hole number 2 and it was even worse. The greens had more mud on them than grass. Our bags were covered in mud, shoes soaked, socks wet and if you golf you can imagine how hard it is to hit the ball out of mud in the middle of the fairway or putting trough puddles and mud. This was the worst condition of any course I've ever played. I play on the Golf weely ameture tour and am a scratch golfer. I play many courses and this one had me shaking my head in disbelief that the managment would even let ANYONE even walk the course let alone golf on it. The course told be honest should have been closed to anyone because the course was honestly under water in multiple locations. The managment staft should have done the tight thing and called me the day before and said the course was unplayable but they didn't mention how terrible their course was they just wanted my 270.00 apparently. Anyway after number 2 we left. It was just to soaked and really not playable and definitely not fun. My pour sons birthday was ruined. We were turned down on a refund because we booked through Golf Now. I sent Golf Now an email and yo no surprise no email or call back on our issue.

I will NOT do buisness with Golf Now ever again nor will I ever go back to Rio Pinar to play their course even if it ever drys out. 270.00 to play 2 holes? Thanks managment at Rio Pinar and Golf Now for protecting a customer that's been with you for over a decade. You just lost a valued client. I know I'm only one of millions and that's OK but to treat a customer like this, I'll definelty create a post and give my opinion of the course and Golf Nows customer service. If I had negative ratings to click on i would but it only allows you to put 1 star but in writing, if you're planning on booking through Golf Now and or playing Rio Pinar, I can't stress enough to you, DO NOT USE GOLF NOW OR BOOK AT THIS COURSE you're experience will be as mine is, terrible.

I booked this course early in the week for my kids birthday present. I booked for 4 people the cost was 270.00. The pro shop called me on Friday before our scheduled tee time and said there would be no carts availible because of the rain they had received that day. We decided it wasn't an issue that we would walk. We went out and bought pull carts just for this round because my son really wanted to play this course for his birthday. We were also told by the proshop we would get a 15.00 per person discount for the inconvenience and range balls as well. We arrived at thw course after driving 1 1/2 hours away from where we live, checked in and the proshop wouldn't give us the promised 15.00 per person discount and they gave four of us maybe 30 balls to hit on the range. We tried off on the first hole and the course had so much water on it the tee boxes, fairways and greens that the pull carts left ruts from pulling the cart. Before getting to the first green all four of our shoes were soaked from walking through standing water all over the course. The greens were basically un-putable as they had so much mud the ball wouldn't roll because it was picking up mud and water. The course in my opinion was unplayable. We played the next hole hoping it was better than the first but it was worse. We pulled our carts to the truck and left because seriously the course shouldn't have even been opened at all. The proshop should have NEVER alowed anyone to play until their course dried out but it cost me 270.00 to play 2 holes and my son birthday round was ruined. The course told me they couldn't not would they refund me I had to go through Golf Now where I booked the tee time and there isn't a single number to get a hold of Golf Now to request a refund so now I'm out 270.00, the cost of the pull carts we bought x4 the gas to travel an hour and a half and my sons birthday was ruined.

I would have rather the Rio Pinar managment called me and told me please don't come.out here because the conditions were very bad and not playable other than basically stealing my money for us to find our we needs rafts to play the course.

Golf Now is a joke as well as they don't care about their customers just money.

They NEED a customer service number to let their customers contact them in cases like this. That was my first time going to Rio Pinar and it was my last time.

Please beware if they tell you there are no carts available for your round DO NOT go because the course will be more than flooded.

This is also the first time in 51 years of me living that I ever wrote a review on any site so you can imagine how hurt the four of us are for wasting our hard earned money.

Unfortunately the course had to close due to a lot of rain lately. But I have played there a few times and thoroughly enjoyed each experience. I always bring treats for the squirrels.

Beautiful course and friendly staff, wet spots form the rain but nothing you can do about that. However, the pace of play sucked. There was a ranger at the beginning who said expect it to be a little slow. But the people in front of us were so slow. They would stop with the cart lady an average of 10 mins a time which ended up being 3-4 times for the day. Someone really needs to be out there to monitor. When I mentioned it to the pro shop he said they were short handed. When I was leaving there was about 5 people that worked for the golf portion just standing around.

Pace of play was a bit slow, hard to get into a rhythm. Course was in great shape.

The opportunity to play a historic golf course with “gangster squieerls” at a great price! DO IT

The staff were very accommodating and eager to talk about the course and guide me and my group on where things were. We will play there again soon

The course was in really good shape! challenging but not over the top! Pace of play was good! Fox squirrels all over the place, super friendly (almost too friendly..lol). People were very friendly, driving range was really nice! Great value for the Price!

First off my group are not the best group of golfers. We played as a 4some all teed off and the played best ball. On the 6th hole ranger was giving us the Hurry it up motion with his hand from 30 yards away. Mind you our cart said we were 8 minutes behind pace okay cool we get it. Next few holes we're down to 3 minutes behind and this dude is following us just off in the distance glaring. Felt kinda like we were being pushed through as it seemed other people did too as there were stray balls ALL OVER this course 6 on on green. It is what it is we didn't let it bother us but felt off putting. Anyway great course super fast greens cute squirrels. Might play again.
