Rio Pinar Golf

this is a good course without many really challenging holes...some water to carry and some distance but not really all that difficult. This time of year with the winter visitors, who mostly can't play golf worth a sh.t...the rounds can take a really long time...nice carts, restaurant, beverage cart and a starter...not many course have all those anymore

We used this course as a warm up for our week long golf vacay. It was perfect for that. Very nice course for the price.

Was the last day of our golf trip and couldn’t have picked a better course to finish with. Beautiful landscape, fairways, and greens. Would definitely play this when I come back!!!!!

The course is in ok shape, I expected better for what I paid. There is no gps in the carts. The staff were friendly.

Greens are as hard as a rock. Fairways are ok. Overall a nice course. My biggest complaint is the cart restrictions. It is the most frustrating thing to have to deal with. If you’re within a foot off the woods, the whole cart basically shuts down. They were complaining about the pace of play, but if it wasn’t for the dumb carts we would have cut an hour off hour day. Not exaggerating. This course is not worth the price, and I do not recommend. Probably will never play here again.

We enjoyed the classic layout of this course. Small greens were in good shape. Fairways could be improved but overall an enjoyable round was had. The course has a great history.

The positive: the staff were friendly . Pace of play is good.

The negative: the course is in ok shape but could use some watering. Grass is brownish.

I don’t think this course is good value

Rio has been a favorite of mine for many years. Originally, I Loved the throw-back vibe and simple but challenging Floridian layout. Over the last 5-6 years it has been invested in and you can tell it's on the brink of being a higher end public club. The course is in the best shape that I've seen it, the driving range has expanded and will have Trackman enabled bays in the very near future and the staff are all very courteous, well dressed eager to help. Play it now before the raise the rates!

For awhile this course seemed like it was on the mend with the new owners. They are still working on it, but I was disappointed in the conditions of the fairways on the front nine. There were a lot of bare sandy spots. The back nine appeared to be in better condition.

The greens were super fast and hard.

I hope the conditions improve when we get a bit more rain. I will still be back.

We were supposed to play 18, however a shortage of carts made us get some of our money back and only played 9. Our Ti-time was for 2:00 - we did not get started until near 2:30.

We were told that they were getting new carts. If that happens and there are enough carts, then I’d say go for it.

I’d play it again!

Very dissapointed with the changes and presentation of the Course.

Pace of play far to slow. 5hr round.

Marshall not prepared to help.

Great value for a nice course. Not to difficult (18 handicap). Would definitely recommend. Will be back!

Might have been the biggest surprise from our annual golf trip. We haven’t played this course in about 7 years.

Good - the clubhouse, restaurant, outdoor seating, ballroom have seen significant upgrades….simply amazing.

The course is very mature and has a lot of character. The layout is challenging and requires accurate tee shots, especially on the front 9. The greens were a bit brown, but roll very smooth and relatively fast. It was a nice touch seeing the cups freshly painted! Brand new carts delivered a couple days prior. Restaurant had an excellent lunch menu at a reasonable price. New trackman driving range is currently being installed.

Bad - The cart GPS geofencing needs tweaked a bit. There’s no reason why we had to put the cart in reverse and back out of areas. The fairways are bare in quite a few areas. Removing some of the MANY trees would help the average golfer.

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with all of the improvements. I hope they continue to work on the course. This place has amazing potential.

The facilities at this course are amazing! Some of the best and cleanest on Course bathrooms I’ve every seen. Great clubhouse, restaurant and driving range. The course still has a ways to go, as the fairways were spotty in areas. The greens were brown, but consistent and fairly fast. It has great potential and hopefully they continue to work on the on course issues.

This course could not be in worse shape.

Goats would starve here.

Not even close to value at $20
