They don’t understand the concept of booking

cool track don’t get me wrong but it took me a hour to play 3 holes and they couldn’t even give me a rain check for 9 which is all i asked for. girl at the pro shop was nice tho. if you come here be prepared for a 5 hour round. also not the best condition for the price.

Average and SLOW!

Pace of play continues to be an issue here - another 5 hour round - par for the course here unfortunately.

Conditions are average at best - high percentage of the fairways are super patchy and most of the tee boxes are woeful. Greens were still recovering from aerifying >4 weeks earlier - no micro punch and in need of top dressing.

The course is tight, which is it's own challenge, to add dodgy fairways to that mix is just a double whammy. If you are off the fairway, forget about driving anywhere near your ball - the course has some of the most ridiculous geofencing you'll find anywhere. Be prepared for long walks to track down your ball - likely one of the main culprits to the terrible pace of play here.

While there has been significant improvement to the off course amenities, it's not enough to offset the course conditions or pace. 3 rounds there this year, same story - I won't be back.

Rio Pinar

The checkin staff was was very courteous and helpful. The course was under some maintenance with recently aerated and sanded greens. The tee boxes are still growing in. Sand traps were very good. While I did not use the recently completed new practice facilities, they looked great and they were still working on them along with other parts of the course. Everyone I encountered was friendly. I would definitely play here again and highly recommend playing here.

NEW AND IMPROVED!

Rio Pinar has been around since the 50’s and was once on the tour. In the Past years the course was given up on and was not the best greens or staffed. Rio Pinar was acquired last year by a new owner and the place has done a 360. It’s impeccable greens now. Great new bar and restaurant with friendly staff. Brand New outdoor trackman range with shade, Brand new 2024 carts, and very competitive course pricing. I will 100% be back.

Pace of play

The course is actually fun, but the pace of play is crazy slow, it took us 6 hours to complete 18 holes. After calling the range multiple times for a ranger to up the pace of play, it took them around 2 hours to get someone out there.
