Rio Pinar Golf

All around best value in Orlando and a premier course. Incredible shape for end of July.

Way too hot to have 2-1/2 hour front nine rounds. Tees off in the seemingly empty course afternoon, when the guy starting the rounds said “it’s pretty empty out there. You should be done in 3 hrs if not less. Just two zones and three zones primarily.

Repeatedly an issue here with NO rangers. Never saw one out here ever. I keep forgetting this fact while I’m avoiding this course for 3-4 months since last time I had the same experience here.

Hire a Ranger. Simple.

Who cares about the rest of the course review when you have to head in on 11 tee cause there’s 4 groups visible in front of you and it’s 95* out. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Almost 3 hours after teeing off on 1.

Course is in fantastic shape. Greens were good, practice area was good, beverage gorl was nice, cart guys were awesome as well as the starter. .

Rio Pinar is in the best shape of any course in the Orlando.

First time playing this course . It did not disappoint

From the driving range to the putting green to the practice area . All were excellent . Course conditions was also in excellent shape

If I lived closer to this golf course I would highly consider becoming a full time member .

Looking forward to my next trip to Rio Pinar

Rio Pinar is in great shape. New ownership has kept conditions top notch, and the layout is challenging even though it is not a tight course. The clubhouse has been done over to a higher quality, the practice range is high tech and top notch, and the staff is professional. What more could you want?

We've played Rio many times. Since the new ownership has taken over, this course has been phenomenal. Yesterday's round was no exception. We teed off at 9:14 am and we finished just before noon. The course was in fantastic shape. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were all perfect. You can still see areas that are out of play where improvements are still being made, but other than that I can't say enough good things about this course.

First time for Rio Pinar. Has a pretty storied history of hosting the Florida Citrus Open. I enjoyed the course. Greens in good shape. Nice layout. Surprising wasn’t too busy the day I played. Good value for the money. I will return.

Best play and course condition I’ve played in central Florida so far. I’ll be back

I love Rio Pinar. The course is well maintained and has a variety of practice amenities. My only suggestion for improvement is the gps carts. They slow the pace of play tremendously. The restricted areas need to be reduced in size and marked with signs. Sometimes even the fairway (non par 3) is “restricted “ according to the cart. The cart shuts down and will only go slowly in reverse. Every time my son or I hit a ball in the woods, we had to walk 20-30 yards to get it. If we were planning to play from the woods, we’d have to carry our clubs and hope we brought the right equipment. Pace of play would improve dramatically with some tweaking to the geofencing.

I teed off on Saturday at 11:27AM with my teenage son. There was no water anywhere on the course and not once did a cart attendant come by during the four and one-half hours our round took.

The first time we ever saw the cart attendant was on the 16th hole, where she was parked in the woods looking at her phone. (See attached photo.)

It's unconscionable that a course in Florida would not hav any water available anywhere on the course or not have a cart attendant working on a weekend in the middle of the day. Do better Rio Pinar, even the Winter Park Pines has water coolers in the middle of their front and back nines.

Tout est parfait pour une excellente journée gokfique.

Nous revenons demain 11 juillet avec 2 amis golfeurs pour passer un bon moment.
