This course could not be in worse shape.

Goats would starve here.

Not even close to value at $20

1 hour delay - never got to play

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.

Bad timing tiday

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!

Grass and staff.

The fair ways and some of the putting greens have no grass. However the clubhouse is well designed and looks new. Staff are really friendly and professional. The owner took his time to show us the back room with Arnold Palmer memorabilia. Much appreciated.
