Revised Rio

Rio has been through some modifications, a few extra bunkers, etc. Restaurant had a much needed overhaul and they now have carts with GPS. They do need to modify the sensors on the carts to allow driving in the rough and tree lines without shutting down or slowing to a crawl. It would speed things up. Greens were in great shape and rolled true.

Rio Pinar

Much improved over the last time I played it. Great layout. Very challenging. Close to airport and downtown Orlando. Still a work in progress, but worth playing.

Renovations still ongoing

I’ve played this course for years and this weekend was very rough condition. Several unfinished bunkers with mix of dirt and sand. Added fairway bunkers that stretch half the hole. Tee boxes had tall grass. Once was a favorite course, but needs some serious work.

Getting Better

Still working on the course on a couple of holes. A couple of greens have bad spots, but most were okay. New carts are nice, but they make it tougher to find the shots that are in the trees because they slow down with a big CAUTION warning on the GPS. Have to go out on the fairway to get yardage. Lots of annoying beeps from the GPS while you’re driving down the fairway with no messages. Hopefully things will get better.

Rio is back

New owners have turned this course into a great golf experience. They no longer double book tee times. Greens 8/10. Fairways 7/10. Pace 8/10. Burger after round 10/10. Staff said that driving range should be done in a month, they’re building covered bays with trackman.

November 16/23 golf cancelled at Rio Pinar

We called the clubhouse and they asked us to go into our account and cancel due to the heavy rain.

Went into our GolfNow account and cancelled. However I did not get a confirmation from GolfNow.

Was I suppose to.?
