Take care of the course more

It was an overall just okay experience. The tee boxes are beat. The greens are pretty awful. Just an okay experience.

Fun Layout - Conditions not great

Most of the course was on the high end of good condition. The greens were deceptively bad. The look fine, and there was only one with any bare spots, but they were thought for me to put on. Slow and didn’t roll true. Hard to get an accurate read when the grass is working against you. Lots of wildlife! The fox squirrels will come right up to you.

Nice Course

Have played here many times in past when pace of play was really bad. New ownership has greatly improved upon pace and we were able to finish our round with minimal delays. Course is in good condition, greens a bit slow but otherwise still one of my favorites in the area.

Amazing find

Absolutely amazing course for its value. It was a tougher course with narrow fairways. The only complaint was there was no water stations while playing. But will be back

Rio Pinar Golf Course

I played Rio Pinar golf course yesterday not aware of the ongoing maintenance. It was terrible. Tractors all over the course perforatimg the fairways and ruff around the greens. This made it horrible to play. Actually they should have closed for this maintenance effort. Not golf playable.
