Good test

I don't know why no one was out there. It's a great course with some interesting holes and lots of water. Great carts with auto brakes. Excellent putting green that was consistent with the greens on the course. Putts ran true. Greens were firm but receptive. Did 18 in less than two and a half hours. Very friendly Clubhouse staff that said I could go out whenever I wanted because there was no one there which was weird. Nice central location that was easy to get to. I'll definitely be back when I return in the fall.

Spectacular

This is my new go to course even though it is an hour away. It is absolutely beautiful even though the greens were aerated. Putts still ran through and I didn't have a bad lie anywhere. Outstanding design and a very good test from 6400 yards. Way better than crooked cat at half the price.

Great layout

I don't know. CC is a great course and nice design and all that, but I expected better. I got on a $56 hot deal so I shouldn't complain. I certainly wouldn't pay $99 to play. Black Bear, CC of Mount Dora, Ventura and Dubsdread are in much better condition and half that price. Greens had been aerated but they use the crosscut method which allows for truer putts. Bunkers were nice and well manicured. It's a fairly easy course. No real trouble anywhere so it does cater to tourists. Starter was awesome. Gave very helpful tips. Pace of play was so so (group in front were brutal and have no idea what ready golf means) and I guess there are no marshalls after 3pm. Impressive clubhouse and beer cart came around often. Very good beer prices.

Chuck started the day off right

The starter Chuck is a very personable and friendly fella. Young fella in pro shop was friendly and helpful as well. Nice to start a round in a good frame of mind. Course layout is brilliant. There wasn't a hole I didn't like. A couple of tricky par 5's. Fairways and bunkers were in great condition. I didn't have a bad lie anywhere. Greens are nice as well, but there were a few weeds here and there. I hear there getting redone in the future. A good and fun challenge from white tees. Carts are in very good condition and they have a rain canopy which is handy. Pace of play was great on front 9, and slower on back, but there was a Marshall and he helped speed things along.

Beautiful design

Very challenging from 6400 yds. Awesome layout. This is a shot-makers course. Five stars all around except for conditions which I gave four stars only because the greens were a touch picky. They were fast just like I like them and ran reasonably true, but losers have to fix their ball marks, and they were a little bit picky as mentionex above, but it did not diminish from the experience. This is a great course all around. I must play it again now that I know where to play my shots. Short par fives are not easy because of very small landing areas. Not a bad lie anywhere and the carts were top notch. I had a tee time at 3:45 behind the course's Nine and dine and we still got around in three and a half hours. I'll definitely be back.

Outstanding design, great challenge

5 stars all around. Beautiful condition. Two greens had funky patches and somecteaps had weeds, but the design and condition of fairways and greens more than made up for it. Very good challenge at 6400 yds.

Awesome greens

The course is in great condition considering the drought. The greens are fabulous and the bunkers are well maintained. Pace of play was excellent and it's a great bargain. Good test from 6400 yards. Great layout with many interesting holes. That part 3 over water is way tougher than a handicap of 14! Very good carts.

Crying Shame

Terrible driving range with balls that need to be replaced. You hit into a gully so no judging distance when practicing. Beautiful course layout ruined by owner's refusal to put water to course. Not one good lie in 18 holes. Stay away until owner decides to stop cheaping out on putting water to course on a daily basis.

Interesting layout

Conditions were dry which was to be expected because of the lack of rain, but you really must play this course at least once to check out the five crater holes from 12 to 16. Hilly Terrain with a few blind shots. They should install Bells to let golfers behind know when it is safe to hit. Awesome restaurant specials. Bartender was very nice and the food was excellent. Very good happy hour specials as well.

Good challenge

Nice design. Interesting holes. Very good greens (except 12 ... just stay on right side of green ... haha!). Friendly staff. Pace of play has been good the few times I've played there. Last round with a couple members from women's league. Pam and Colleen. It was fun. Good value for the money.

Excellent design

Met a really nice fellow by the name of Robert on the practice putting green. He gave me a little course info. I don't think there was a hole that I didn't like. More than a few fun par fives. A good challenge from 6600 yd. Yes of course was a little dry but it hasn't rained. Nevertheless, the greens were spectacular. I really like the design of the course. Well placed bunkers. Played with a local regular by the name of david. It was an awesome day and got around in three and a half hours.

Spectacular Greens ... not a bad lie anywhere

What can I say? This course is spectacular. The greens are beautiful and run true. There isn't a bad lie anywhere on the course. Very playable from 6,000 yards although there are beastly par 3s. And pace of play was very good.

Never a bad round at Rio Pinar

Great staff. Starter is the best. Always friendly and funny! He matched me up with 3 pleasant fellas. If and when it rains conditions will be 5 star. Great layout. I don't think there's a hole I don't like. Greens are in good shape. Run true. Teeblox need a little work, but they'll come around when it rains. I'll be back.

Friendliest course around

I played with 3 local gentleman and it was a hoot. It's a titch dry but it hasn't rained! Great layout and nice greens. Only a part of one green on the back 9 needs work, but they all run true. Clubhouse staff very friendly and she greeted me with a big smile. Started round feeling good. Starters were nice fellas. Great value. I can hardly wait for new tee blocks to open on number 3. They are progressing nicely. Got 18 holes done in under 3.5 hours and never rushed. I'll definitely be back every time I visit from Canada. Glad I found it in GolfNow.

Poor condition

Fairways dry and patchy. Many areas were hardpan and unplayable. Greens were aerated by an amateur. They will not come back before end of year. I was surprised how much conditions have deteriorated in a year.

Still one of my all time favourites

Great track. Tough, but there are forward tees I do blue/white. Usually in impeccable condition, but some rough spots ... and the bunkers haven't been fluffed up in what must be days!! There are footprints from last year I'm sure ... and weeds!! Some rough spots on some fairways and unrepaired divots .. and doesn't anyone fix their frickin' ball marks anymore?!? You need to do maintenance virus or no virus. Some courses have rakes and sand / seed on every cart. Everyone knows stomping down on a beaver pelt doesn't work. Condition is that of a $35 course. Too bad because it's beautiful and it's an interesting layout.

Sneaky Long

Don't let the 5200 yard par 67 fool you. This is a tough little coarse, but very playable for all skill levels. Very picturesque and an interesting layout with no boring holes. Friendly staff and awesome food. Always in great condition and never dry. Greens are medium fast and run true.

Awesome

Pro Shop staff were very friendly and helpful from the moment I walked in. Gave me a quick overview of the course and all amenities. Marc the starter was also very helpful ... and funny! Course is awesome. Tee blocks were so so, but the overall condition of the fairways and greens more than made of for it. Greens were firm, but held and ran true. Bunkers were nice soft, white sand. Lots of water and risk/reward holes. I'd 0lay a few of them differently next time. Interesting layout. Great track overall. Restaurant and patio had nice layout and ambiance and plenty of staff.
