Rio Pinar Golf

Not a good day of golf yesterday. Two greens were temporary greens (basically a closer cut in the fairway) and we were not told about it in advance. AND the range was closed so that benefit for showing up early was taken away. I probably wouldn't have played there if I knew that in advance - especially since there wasn't a discount for this. VERY disappointing.

Also - the pace of play was so bad that our group have to wait for every shot. A marshal to speed up slow play would have been appreciated.

While I have played Rio a number of times, I don't think I will return anytime soon (unless I hear that changes have been made to pace of play and course conditions).

The course was great I will definitely recommend and will be going back

4 or 5 greens in the fairways - construction along many of the holes - bad conditions

GPS cart restrictions WAY overdone. Slowed pace of play. One courseworkee refused to move off green for play, even after lengthy wait. Look forward to elimination of temp "greens" with completion of new ones

Course in very poor condition. There were about 5/6 temporary greens, no mention of this when checking in at the pro shop. The main greens were very slow as if they had not been cut for days & the general condition of the course was bad.

At least it was a very quick round as not many were playing and the green fee was low.

A nice layout of holes but the condition let it down.

Course in good shape in spite of changes being made

There were 2 makeshift greens on each 9, surprisingly didn’t roll horribly given the conditions. No water or ball washers on the course. The squirrels are something else tho see for yourself

Very friendly staff, and the entire place is getting a facelift very excited to return

Coarse was under renovation with temporary holes

Driving range under construction, hopefully will be much better once renovations are complete

Course was nice but had 4 temp greens that was like putting on aerated dirt, just give yourself a 2 putt if you make it on the small circle they called a green. driving range was under construction so your only warm up is the single putting/chipping green. outside of the construction the course was in nice condition from tee box to greens. greens were on the slower side but well kept. Friendly staff but even friendlier squirrels, hide you snacks because they WILL jump into your cart.

It the best time to be playing this course as they’re repairing a couple of greens on each nine. Four temporary greens is a downer. In addition some of the other greens were not in great shape and were very slow. It took us 2:15 to play the front as it was very slow in front of us. We asked to replay the front nine again as there were fewer people teeing off in The afternoon. They allowed us to reply the front and we finished it in 1 1/2 hours! They said their greens would be finished Oct 1st.

Some of the rough needs to be cleaned out. Lost balls that should have been found other than that course is coming along nicely. I will recommend this the course to all

I usually enjoy this course and play there often...new owners are doing a remodel and the conditions are bad...5 -6 pretend greens mowed into the fairways which were aeriated with holes big enough to lose your golf ball, bare dirt areas near tee boxes for some unknown reason, no beverage cart or driving range...just let them finish and things might be fine...should have closed down to do this work

I understand they’re renovating the driving range and have a few temp greens right now, however, they need to mow the other greens and the rough some more. Greens were rolling very slow, looked like they hadn’t cut them in a while, very spongy and soft.

There are currently four temporary greens and the course is offering a reduced rate due to this. The tee boxes were a little beat up but not too bad, I personally found the fairways to be a little thin. The greens were slow and the holes looked chewed up and didn’t look like they had been moved in a while. My biggest grievance was actual with the nanny system GPS that constantly beeped even when riding down the middle of the fairway. It would shut down the cart and make you back out of areas without any prior warning, including the rough and even on the cartpath on hole 17. Not bad for a cheap round, but don’t expect too much.

Had a great time playing Rio Pinar on Labor Day. Clubhouse is just about done with renovations and looks amazing. Pace of play was great and course conditions were excellent.

Kevin at the clubhouse bar is also a superstar.
