Rio Pinar Golf

The course is in good condition but the pace was super slow. I believe it was overbooked as they did not even have carts available. We had to wait until people were done with their round.

The course is in good shape. Staff is mainly great - friendly, knowledgeable and helpful - but the starter is a jerk. Really starts the round off on a sour note v

Good layout, great vacation course and great value.

Older style track-grabbed a Hot Deal and it was worth that pricepoint.

For the first time playing the course, I thought it was amazing!

You definitely have to think your way around the golf course yet everything is right in front of you! I really enjoyed my time there. I thought the greens were remarkably well and the course was in great condition!

I’m aware of the history of the course so it was fun to play and think of the players that have played there before so it gave me a sense of history and a greater appreciation for the game of golf if that’s what you’re looking for I would say go there!

Had an excellent experience at Rio Pinar Country Club. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly (Mike D the starter was the man) and welcoming, which really set the tone for the day. The course itself was in mint condition—fairways were well kept, greens rolled true, and the overall layout was a pleasure to play. You can tell a lot of care goes into maintaining the course. I had a great time and would absolutely recommend Rio Pinar to anyone looking for a quality round of golf and great hospitality.

We were keeping pace the whole time, but the ranger was on us for no reason at all. It got annoying real quick and honestly ruined the experience. Course conditions were terrible too, fairways and greens were in rough shape. Not worth $70 a person and won’t be coming back.

whenever we are in Orlando we always try and play at Rio. The course layout is interesting and the greens are fast but true with lots of undulation. never boring!

wasn't quite sure which SI to use as the card showed different SI to the electronic card but we went off the card ones.

will always come back, great vfm.

If you’re looking for rude front-desk staff, no pace-of-play enforcement, and a round of golf that feels more chaotic than relaxing, this is the course for you.

There were no rangers on the course, groups stacked up everywhere, and tensions getting high to the point it felt like fights were about to break out. Completely unacceptable.

The owner showed zero respect for customers and instead of fixing the problems, tried to brush it off by offering a free drink at the bar. That doesn’t make up for poor management and a bad experience.

Plenty of better courses out there. I won’t be back.

Clean, reasonably priced, well maintained and challenging. Staff was friendly and informative.

Played here a year ago and still love it. The course is in excellent condition with GPS carts. Greens are fast but true. The entire club is very welcoming and the course has a good layout.

Somebody recommended to me that I go play there and Boy am I forever grateful they did!

First class all the way from the moment I walked into the moment I left, which included a meal, I enjoyed every moment I was there. What a great test of golf that golf courses is!

I brought two guest with me and as soon as we got in the car to go back home, we were looking to reschedule another round there!

I’m grateful to the staff and all the grounds crew who make this golf course such an enjoyable place to play!!!!

In general one of the best greens in the area, they need to improve on the tee boxes because they are not flat at all some of them , the food on the restaurant is one of the best , even though my order wasn’t that good my partner order smash burger really good .

Been playing this course for years and so awesome to see this property transform into a 5 star. Only thing I would encourage is to improve the bunker materials (sand). Greens and fairways are in excellent condition, keep your maintenance team! Outstanding! Can’t wait to get back.

One of the best value courses around. I must’ve missed something because the greens were recently cut and heavily sanded, which I don’t recall seeing when I booked the reservation. It definitely affected my interest in playing the round

Overall, the courses in wonderful shape typically

Course maintenance is decent

Course management is horrible.

Owner is rude/incompetent and out of touch with what needs to be done around the course.

Junior tournaments here are the worst. They let them do basically anything they want. Multiple groups of 5 or more all walking kids that don’t take care of the course but they are the priority over you in managements eyes. 4 groups waiting on juniors on the tee box and the rangers say they can’t speed them up. Wouldn’t have been a problem if they didn’t insist we start off the back right behind the group of juniors. Like what kind of logic is that to start sending groups that are checking in when your junior practice is making the turn.

Most employees are great. Starters and owner not so much. Seems like the going trend right now for Rio. Course is ok. Often overbooked for tournaments and the staff couldn’t care less if you’re not part of the tournament. Owner was extremely rude to me when I was chipping in one of the three practices areas that are not marked with no chipping. He asked me once not to chip there I said ok and started to leave then he told me 6 more times I need to leave as I was already leaving. Packed my things and put my bag around the corner and tried to walk in after the guy. Watched him yell at the employee then ran to hide in his office when I walked in the door and he wouldn’t come out and talk to me. No signs that say no chipping, about 30-40 divots around the “non chipping” green, multiple putters not saying anything to me about no chipping.

How does the owner hide in the office during a tournament and only goes out to yell at the one guy chipping who is not in the tournament. Also when it looks like the whole tournament messed up the fringe of the practice green.

Thought I would calm down after a month and my reviews getting taken down on google, apparently not.

Will never return to this course until there is a new owner.
