Rio Pinar Golf

Fairways were bare of grass in many areas, the golf carts have ridiculous restrictions on their operation, the golf cart screen randomly emitted irritating beeps and froze up, the course was oversold and running behind on the tee times, the cart girl was absent until the eighth hole, and the overall experience wasn’t very good.

On the plus side, they did call to say they were running behind, the staff was pleasant, and we were paired with a pleasant visiting coulple.

Rio Pinar has been putting a lot work into improving the course. The conditions continue to get better and the layout provides a great challenge. Some of the fairways are in rough shape, but the greens were great.

The couse was in fair shape. The greens were all brown and alot of green sand on them. Was disappointed on how bad it looked compared to other years i played the course. It was very slow over s 5 hr round.

This course could not be in worse shape.

Goats would starve here.

Not even close to value at $20

Please read the entire review - -The day prior to my tee time I played a nearby course (Stoneybrook East - nice course) when my playing partner advised me to cancel my Rio Pinar reservation. Why? He played 3 times and had at least a 30 minute delay each time plus a slow pace of play.
I arrived 40 minutes prior to my tee time to be advised they had a 30 minute delay. 30 minutes later it became a 50 minute delay. Ended about 1 hour delay. Management allowed an un-booked group of at least 5 threesome's of "pro" players to tee off the back nine. These "pros" took 2 hours 30 minutes to play the back !!! - - while 40 golfers with tee times sat around waiting 1 hour for them to finish the back and tee off on #1. No one apologized or offered any special deal for us to waste 1 hour of OUR time - - until I complained to the manager.
On a positive note - the manager refunded my fees without an issue. They were having new carts delivered this week and a new Trackman range open soon. Bottom line - clubs cannot simply tell 40 golfers to wait around for 1 hour -- we all have cell phones and they have our numbers to send a text message -- and allow the players to decide to go or cancel.

Course was in good shape. Need more carts. Played here last year and we waited for carts as well. Today was 20 mins. We play again though.

We were supposed to play 18, however a shortage of carts made us get some of our money back and only played 9. Our Ti-time was for 2:00 - we did not get started until near 2:30.

We were told that they were getting new carts. If that happens and there are enough carts, then I’d say go for it.

I’d play it again!

No carts available, waited 45 minutes, then went in and cancelled round.

We play this course every year and we like the improvements . Still a bit of work to do but definitely on the right track..

The course is in ok shape, I expected better for what I paid. There is no gps in the carts. The staff were friendly.

The positive: the staff were friendly . Pace of play is good.
The negative: the course is in ok shape but could use some watering. Grass is brownish.
I don’t think this course is good value
