Rio Pinar Golf

This is an old school course built I think in 57 but the fairways are still fairly wide and the variety holes is very good. They tend to do a lot of tournaments and events so if you can check on that before you book a round that’s a good idea but otherwise certainly worth playing.

Played a round with a few guys who hadn’t been to this course in a few years, they said they were hesitant to come because of how bad it was previously. To their surprise the course is in great shape and is coming along nicely with the new owners, greens were pure and fast, fairways are nice, with the lack of rain I was happy with the conditions and the price to play is nice for this time of year. If you had a bad experience here before, check it out now. This was my first time and I would definitely play here again. I’m a stickler for course conditions.

Rio is in great shape. Greens are hard and slick but roll great.

Continue to have issues with pace of play however. There were some groups that had been shotgun started that we got stuck behind. Playing gold tees and could barely make the fairway. Slow slow play. Not sure why they would start them on 18. Should have started on 10.

Don't expect to play in less than 5 hours here. They start groups off the back nine right as you are making the turn from the front. Totally mismanaged course!

This course has made many changes which have definitely made the course a gem!!!!

This is definitely a hidden jem in the Orlando area. It’s close to MCO if you are trying to get a round in coming into town or on your way out of town. Greens are in great shape and are lighting fast. The staff is beyond amazing and made the day quite enjoyable.

This was our first time back in months because the price finally came down. It was well worth it. Course was in excellent condition, greens were true and quick. They were having a tournament the next day so we benefited by the conditions. Great layout on a classic course with storied history. Only recommendation would be to make a snack/ turn spot for a quick bite.

Found this course about 20 minutes east of Universal Studios and was happy I found it. Great layout difficult at times with fast greens. I also had to rent clubs and was surprised with Taylormade Qi10s. Would definitely recommend this course if you’re visiting Orlando.

This is a classic golf course with lots of character . Course is playing fast. Greens are in excellent shape. Pace of play is around 4 hours. It’s understandable that the PGA Tour played here years ago. Fun but challenging course. Staff is top notch. Restaurant is first rate. If you are in Orlando play this course.

The course was fantastic. In great shape, greens are fast and beautiful. The history of the course adds to the experience. You won’t be disappointed.

Love the layout, staff is awesome, practice area is great.

This course was amazing!! Easy to find easy to navigate. The staff, bartender, starter, and everybody in between or super friendly and helpful. The course was in great condition and the weather was perfect!! I see a lot of people on the reviews saying that the pace of play was a little slow, but I passed two groups at separate times and everybody was very relaxed as long as I asked nicely. Greens were pristine and tea boxes were well manicured. Overall, the course was a great value for the price!! definitely gonna head back there if I end up on the East Coast again
