Love the improvements!

We used to play here often several years ago, but moved away. Came back and love what they are doing here. The clubhouse has been remodeled and.is very nice! Restaurant was great! New carts with GPS are a nice addition.

The greens were in very nice condition. A little slower than we were used to, but it was easy to adjust and the rolled pretty smooth and true.

I have always loved the layout and the improvements they have been making, like bunkers in fairways, are making the course better. The covered track man practice area is almost complete and will be great!

I highly recommend this place!!

Nice course, bad carts

Pace of play was abysmal. New carts are nice but the new geofences basically make it a fairway only cart system. Basic orders at the new restaurant for 3 took almost an hour to arrive.

Great course

Great course to play. I was surprised by the sand outside the fairways. It makes the course a laity more challenging.

Great Round

Good course for the price. First time out this season and shot my second best score. Forgiving fairways and little to no challenge in the rough. Fun course to play, especially with the little squirrel friends hanging out with you all day.

Great course but not for first timers apparently

Heard great things about Rio from many friends so on my 34th birthday I decided to take 2 of my co workers to play for their first time on a nice course.

When we got there the driving range was closed because of a water pipe burst understandable. So went into the club house to get signed in and the credit card machine is down so the man has to write it by hand, no worries stuff happens. Rented 2 sets of rental clubs for my friends to really give them the best time possible. Got out to the first tee and the lead gentleman who was out there gave us a huff because we were 10 minutes late. I do understand golfers need to be on time, but it was a Wednesday at 11am and we had to wait for the club house to write things out. Explained that to the gentleman and we did apologize for being tardy. We started to tee off and into our 3rd golfer teeing off the gentleman at the first tee shouted you guys are 10 minutes late hurry up so I told my friends let’s just go play my ball and put out and we did in a hurry . At the 2nd tee we let 2 groups go ahead to just let some people go and the players weren’t in any fuss. At the 3rd tee a woman in a cart comes and says you have to pick up your pace of play I apologized because we had new people so I decided to skip 4 holes to move things along.

Great course but maybe not for new players who want to play at a nicer course.
