Very Poor pace of play..6 hrs

It took us 6 hours to complete the round. There was no Marshal to get the pace back on track.

A member from our foursome at the turn after 9 went and voiced the pace of play and the staff just shrugged their shoulders.

Would not go back, was frustrating to play 6 hours and wait at every hole, when we could see it was two groups ahead of us that was delaying everything.

Ok

For the cost per round, this course should be maintained better. Beautiful views. Driving range in poor shape

Little pricey, but worth the expense

Extremely playable. Nice mix of challenging and gettable holes. Greens are a touch slower than I’d like but pace of play and course conditions were excellent

Rio Mar ocean course

Well as a frequent golfer of PR this course would have to rank 3rd on my list of course to play in PR TPC Dorado and Grand Reserve being 1 and 2. Lots of par 3 s and being named ocean course. Only one view of the ocean and that was a very very tight par 3. It should be renamed the ponds/lake course lots of water almost on every hole. I was pleasantly surprised how well the course was dry after a huge rain storm the day and night prior. If your looking for a course not a pricey it’s a fair course to play

Beautiful course but!!!

The course photos make it seem as if you will have 3 or four holes by the ocean and this course has just one par 3 at 16 and it’s still an amazing beautiful course but I would have loved to have more of the ocean views with another hole or two by the ocean.

Laid Up On Expectations

I was very excited to play this course during my vacation to Rio Mar. I flew down with my own clubs, since the club charges $70 for a rental set, and was eager to play what looked to be a top tier course designed by Greg Norman.

First off, the conditions were extremely underwhelming for the price tag on this course. Weeds everywhere, dead spots on fairways, and greens slower than your living room carpet. The natural beauty surrounding every hole is fantastic if you’re not used to Caribbean scenery. The layout was interesting enough, some doglegs, plenty of water and hazards in play, and challenging approach shots.

Carts were equipped with GPS and the cooler on my cart was preloaded with ice, and two bottles of water came complimentary with the cart as well as two towels stashed in the overhead compartment of the cart (I didn’t notice these until one fell out after hitting a bump on the cart path).

I’d feel more comfortable paying $75 for a round rather than the $150 they charge. I’ve played many courses in the $150 price range and they were MUCH nicer all around than this club. From the customer service experience, to layout, to conditions, don’t come expecting what you may be used to in the states for that price. You’re paying a premium for being at a resort in Puerto Rico.

I originally had a tee time for the Ocean course but was told by the starter upon arrival that its fairways and greens had just been aerated. So I accepted the invitation to switch to the River course.

Could have been better

The course was not in the best condition for the price. Fairways were inconsistent with weeds at times. Tee boxes were ok for the most part. The course does hold a lot of moisture so do not play if you suspect it will rain.

Will Never Play Here Again

I may have been spoiled by the other courses in the area (Bahia Beach and Grand Reserve) but this was the worst experience I had golfing my entire trip. Course conditions were terrible! Tee boxes were barely there, greens were non existent. Couldn’t even justify keeping a score. The greens are just an extension of fairways at this point. Do Not Play here. For the amount of Money ($150 ea Player) this is an absolute rip off. Will never play here again! Do yourself the favor and Save your money.
