A True Gem

Conditions weren't that great, however the track has a true layout. Front Nine is very generous, the back nine is brutal. I wasn't ready for #10. Not an Easy Course.

First timer

Played for the first time yesterday from the blue tees (HI 12.9). It’s a very nice course, with fair challenges. The white tees are obviously the most used as they were fairly worn, which made me glad of my choice. Whilst incredibly sandy, the greens were nice and receptive and rolled true, albeit they were a little patchy in places. The practice facilities are excellent, and my mini bucket of warmup balls were a welcome treat. The clubhouse is absolutely immaculate! My only wish was I could’ve enjoyed a beer there before I left!!

Overall, it’s a decent course and I feel that I got very good value for my 50 bucks!!!

No Greens is so Mean

I’m not sure what’s going on with the course, it’s clear that they have made quite a capital investment. However, the tee boxes were shaggy and the greens were non-existent. The fairways were better than usual and the addition of sand bunkers makes the course extremely challenging. Again, I don’t understand improving everything but the most important factor.

Early start

2nd group off in a Saturday morning. Greens were not cut and covered in dew so as they dried speed changed drastically. Course was in good shape with the exception of several tee boxes that were barren.

In great shape and fun to play!

New favorite course! Golfed here for the first time today and we loved it! Not only was the course in amazing shape from, greens, fairways and rough (minus just a few tee boxes getting aerated) but the staff were extremely friendly knowledgeable and helpful! Course quality was equal to celebration panther lake and even the Disney courses! Shade at tee boxes from tees is nice and the layout of the homes is very enjoyable not too difficult and not too dull. Had a beverage cart girl on a Friday which is hard to come by on courses now a days, great to have tht on a hot day. Side note the fox squirrels everywhere are adorable

New Rio

Rio Pinar has been updated. The restaurant and clubhouse look fantastic. The new Shot Tracker range is nice, although a bit pricey for range balls when you’re playing a round there. Course was in good shape and greens were true and well maintained, though they are getting smaller and smaller.

Better than expected.

Overall I’d give it a strong 3.5. Amenities….Range looks great. Typical Top Tracer set up. I say typical l as it seems these have been installed everywhere. The company did a great job selling their product. But it’s good. Just no longer unique.

Restaurant/Bar area looks tremendous. Truly a great job in there. Men’s lounge/grill room is great too. Excellent place for lunch/dinner after a round. Clubhouse is nice. Real nice. Temporary (?) Proshop is small but it seems they’re just not done with the real one on the east wing. Practice area will be nice tho as it surrounds that wing.

Course. Quickly….Greens very good. Fairways are getting there and better than expected. Bunkers still need some work. Tee boxes and rough need more that a little work but usually the last part to get proper attention.

Routing is a gem. Bringing it back to its former glory will be nice. It’s almost there. Pricing seems right in line with what you get so the overall value of the course right now is tremendous. I’ll be back and often. Right down the road from Ventura CC and very much comparable in value and progress. Very happy to see this part of town back on the golf map of Orlando. It’s been too long. Congrats.
