Rio Pinar Golf

The group in front of us was a bit slow, but the staff and ranger only asked us to speed up because we had our wives with us. Seems to be because of that reason only. We typically finish 30 under pace but understand some are slower. Maybe the staff could investigate which group is holding thins up instead of just hanging out in a group of trees and picking a group that has women and making it a point to say “pick up the pace”. We couldn’t go any faster. Ruined the rest of the game. Advice: investigate the problem before making rude remarks.

The course is still going through some renovations to bunkers on quite a few holes, but the course is very playable and the greens, fairways and tee boxes were in good shape.

The new owners are really trying to make this a top notch course in the Orlando area.

Playing this course for years and never have seen it in such beautiful conditions. Fairways are mostly good with the exception of a couple. Greens are running smooth and fast. My only complaint would be the geo fencing. Too tight in some areas which contributes to slow play. Need to visit that aspect for an overall good experience. You can do better.

Extremely slow play but finished in 4 hours I am used to 3 hours without any players in front of me

Had two Tee times, but only five showed up to play. Golf course could not give me credit for the three players that did not play. Must have golf now give credit for the prepaid 3 players.

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.

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.

New ownership is making lots of improvements, not 100% there yet but definitely moving in the right direction.

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.

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.

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.

Still the same course But much more expensive. Did noticed more grass seed used but that’s it. Carts are annoying now too with the gps mapping limitations. Still fun tho

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.?
