The Wyndham Rio Mar Beach Resort - Ocean Course

We booked the Ocean course designed by the Fazio group, so we expected it would be a well designed course with some ocean views (per the name) and based on the rate charged be in good shape. Well its far from an ocean course as the only hole near the ocean is the par 3 16th and even then you need to walk thru the shrubbery etc. to see the ocean, the other 17 holes are all inland with no water views at all. The layout was OK but not what I expected with being a Fazio design, but in fairness they didn't have alot to work with. Course conditions were OK, tees/fairways were good, most greens were OK but the bunkers were like cement, trying to hit a proper bunker shot was out of the question, with some bunkers 3 to 4 feet deep beside the green it was almost impossible to leave it on the green, only option was to try and pick it out. I am glad we got a good rate from Tee OFF because I would have been some upset if I paid the rack rate for this course. On a somewhat positive note the rental clubs were the latest Srixon woods/irons with Cleveland wedges/putter, plus they provided 6 quality golf balls as well - rental fee was $90.

Disappointing that I wa here for a week, and it rained every day. It is a rainforest. Course was very soggy, and had to play cart path only. Not the golf course fault. It was beautiful.

We had a wonderful day playing this course! The rain made some of the course very wet and marsh like, and the pace of play was a little slow but neither of these made our time any less enjoyable. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We wanted to order some food at the turn and take it away in the cart with us, but most food beyond chips and small snacks were going to take 20min to prepare so we were unable to eat while playing. The breathtaking views at the hole on the ocean were absolutely worth the trip to this course! We even got to see a rainbow over the ocean as we played!

If you are looking for a nice course in Puerto Rico, that is challenging and fun, has spectacular views and an ocean hole this course is for you.

From the moment we arrived it felt like we were a burden to them. The course conditions were ok the green were rough and very inconsistent.

We had issues with our carts getting locked out when on cart paths. We think that GPS thought we were in restricted areas. Also multiple single players wanting to play through slowed us down- should be making them at least double up during peak hours

Course was ok. Tee boxes bad. Fairway ok, greens ok.

Member tried to play thru and course was packed. We denied him as we were all trying to finish and get to the signature holes to finsh. He yelled, swore,and told us he was going to hit into us if we didint play fast enough. On #17, he drove past and swerved his cart into mine, cutting my leg with something . Our cart couldnt catch him. Finished in the dark . All staff gone.

Absolutely everything about our day was perfect from the starter to the bartender. The personnel were remarkable. The facilities were gorgeous and immaculate and the course was gorgeous and challenging. We came from San Juan to play and couldn’t have had a better day!! Wouldn’t miss the experience if I were you.

Course was interesting but very wet from the rain in the early morning. Starter was OK, but seemed to be not interested in questions we had. We had to wait but he wasn’t certain how long?? Very strange! We asked where the driving range was, he gave vague directions and we drove forever and never found it. We played well and were enjoying the course when the heavens opened up, very heavy rain, we were on the tee of the 16th hole (guess that’s the only hole on the ocean, and we couldn’t even see it as weather was crazy. We ended our round and asked how to get back to the clubhouse, every where we turned the cart would stop and not let us move forward! We finally made it back, soaking wet, and an everyone else had parked their carts under cover at the entrance, no direction or organization at all. We had to unload our own clubs during the downpour and just got soaked!! Front driveway was flooded as we waited for our ride! Not a very good ending to our round. We tried to clean our clubs while waiting, but no towels provided in the cart. For the price they ask, you would expect much more, it just wasn’t happening that day!!

Took 3 hours to play 9. No rangers to speed up play. i

Very wet fairways. Greens were in good shape. Nearby is Bahia Beach course. Excellent conditions.

There is only one hole on the ocean, blind water in the form of a lake on 10 holes, played as a single even though there were entry of people on course o could have joined up with and the cost was too expensive at around $200

Great day on a beautiful course! There is only 1 hole on the ocean, the course was in great shape, unfortunately there was quite a bit of trash considering how many groundskeepers were going around.

All in all we are looking forward to coming back!

The course was in great shape, very wet due to some heavy rains but the crews were out working and doing their best to keep it pristine. There was quite a bit of trash on the ground at the holes that didn’t have barrels which was surprising given the amount of staff out and about.

Clubhouse staff was very friendly and helpful, great selection of clothes and gear.

Except for 3 to 4 holes with poor drainage, the fairways were in good shape. The greens were fair, and pleasantly challenging. The Beach/Ocean holes ( 14 to 16) were beautiful and refreshing after playing several challenging holes. The clubhouse restaurant is pedestrian at best and one would expect more from a course at this price point. All said, I am glad that I had the opportunity to play this course.
