Golf and clubhouse

Golf course is really nice. $45 to $50 per round would be a better price for a round. Clubhouse staff are super nice and professional. $6 for a draft beer is beyond ridiculous, won’t be back to the clubhouse for sure.

Nice course on a journey to return to its former glories

The course held prestigious events but it suffered from a lack of maintenance and according to members we played with became run down. New investment in the clubhouse and course is ongoing.

It was in decent condition with greens, tees and bunkers all good. Fairways were a little patchy in places and parts of the course were a little wet.

Overall it was enjoyable.

Getting there

They have spent a ton of money on clubhouse and looks amazing. They are now working on the course. Greens are GREAT!!! Fairways are ok little sparse here and ther. Tee boxes have some new grass going in. Looks like doing a lot of work to bunkers. Good value for the money and greens were great which for me is most important!

Rio is a fantastic layout and nothing like it was a couple years ago. The greens are fast and roll very pure, fairways and tee boxes are lush and the new driving range is spectacular. I will definitely be back and looking forward to eating at the new restaurant again also! Great service all around love what they’ve done with the place.

Pace of play

Pace of play was beyond acceptable. I understand people Want to blame snowbirds but you can’t when you schedule tee times 5 mins apart. Finished at around 5 1/2 almost 6. 70$ and the cart gps is a joke . Will not be back

The new owners are making strides in the right direction. Greens and fairways were great. Tee boxes have normal wear n tear. Also, the grilled chicken cesar wrap was on point. I will definitely be coming back at some point.
