Decent course

The course is OK. It is called Ocean but there is only one hole (#16) next the it.

The greens are very slow, and the fairways and rough were in not so good condition (I do not know it is because of the winter time).

Better than the River Course

This course had a fun layout, better than the River Course in my opinion. The bev cart came around multiple times. The half-way house was open on this course, it was closed on the River Course. Good hotdogs.

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.

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.

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.
