New ownership

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

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.?

Great improvement since the last time

This always a favorite. The course have a lot of history and deserve the work and money invested in. Once the practice areas are done and a couple of other things around the course, it will be back to a 5 stars ✨
