Riomar Country Club

Riomar was an absolute treat. With 7 of the 9 holes on the front by the ocean, it was an amazing atmosphere. The course was in fantastic shape and has an emphasis on hitting fairways. Tricky green complexes are tests of your skill, especially when coming out of the rough. Don’t let the 6000 yards from the back tees fool you, it played plenty long and fair.

If offered the chance to play, jump at the opportunity!

Set to turn 100 next year, Riomar is one of Florida's hidden gems. With seven of its first nine holes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, there are few more scenic courses in the state. Though it's barely 6,000 yards from the back tees, the course is no pushover, as its small greens fall away on the sides and demand precision with one's short irons and wedges. It is a fun, not-too-taxing test, beloved of its small, low-key membership.
