nice course

This is a nice course. Fairways and greens were in very good shape. The greens are fast compared to what I'm used to in Wisconsin. Fairways maybe a little narrower than average. Fairways & greens only are irrigated. The rough is desert.

Windy

I've played Rio three times in January and each day is windier than the next. Be prepared for tight lies everywhere on the course. The greens are okay except where the waterfowl have fouled up everything. Lots of roll on the fairways. A couple of greens [#17 comes to mind] are sadistically warped. At $35, including cart, it is a bargain. At $45, not so much.

Under repair

Went to play this week and got a surprise, course is now closed until further notice, Recent rain and flash flooding probably caused erosion, could not see work in progress and and am uncertain when repairs will begin. Did see fairways being watered.

nice round of golf

late start on booking but no problems. hour and a half from internet to course. A bit slow due to many snowbirds already but still a decent pace. Course is in nice condition greens look fast but are a bit slow. Looking forward to playing here again

Very nice course, good greens, Great Value for the money.

The course does need some attention, but the greens, tee boxes, and fairways were all in good shape for this time of year. The course is challenging with some holes that require above average shot placement to score well.
The pro shop was very friendly and extremely helpful. The adjoining restaurant was excellent with friendly service and very good food.
