Charged for our missing 4th :(

The course is in great condition. The pace of play was a bit slower than usual, but the weather was great and the beverage cart came around multiple times during our round.

Only complaint is I got charged for the 4th that did not show up. Oh well. Live and learn.
Should have canceled the day before I guess.

Still work to be done but getting there....

This was my first time back since June, the new owners are making some changes to the bunkers and greens and adding some bunkers on a few holes. The range is not operational for about another month they said due to renovations.

The fairways and greens were mostly good, but there were still a few greens that were recently sodded and a few that had some bare spots.
The new pro shop and restaurant is great!

DL, thank you for the review, I am glad you recognized the work being done and the commitment. by the new owners to bringing the conditions and experience of Rio Pinar to a higher level. The green improvements along with the new bunkers and tees are going to be a great addition along with our new TrackMan Range opening in November. Stayed tuned for more at Rio Pinar!

Slow.....but Fun!

We waited on just about every hole to hit our shots. The ranger did not seem to care to speed up the players in front of us.

Course was in great condition.

Super SLOW.

It is expected to have slow rounds at RSC, but lately it has been really slow on the weekends. You just have to grin and bear it or don't play at all sometimes.
Course is in great shape and I love the upgrades that they are continuing to do.

Always Fun and Slow....

The White course greens were recently aerated, so they did not roll as good as usual. RSC is one of the greats in the central Florida area. The problem is everyone else knows that too, so the course is usually crowded and a bit slow. Love playing RSC and will continue to do so.

Great condition!

The course has really been in great condition over the summer. Let's hope it remains that way going forward. Greens run a bit slow but that helps keep the grass growing on them.
I still wish they would put back the water coolers since there is not a beverage cart.

The course was in good shape. Greens were a bit slow and needed to be mowed and rolled.
I wish they would put water coolers out on the course since there is not a beverage cart.

Bumpy Greens - Everything Else Excellent

The greens were still showing signs of recent aerification and were a bit bumpy. The rest of the course was in excellent condition. It is great to see water coolers out on the course in this hot / humid weather.
One of the best conditioned courses in the Orlando area.

Rough Around the Edges

The course was in great shape minus some of the areas on the sides of the fairways that are filled with weeds and void spots.

The pace of play was a bit slow, and finished in about 5 hours. The ranger did not help in speeding up play. Thankfully the beverage cart came around frequently..

Course in Great Shape!

Legends is a great course that is fun to play. The course was in great shape. The greens were a tad slow, but they rolled nice.

Pace of play was a bit slow due to a bit of light rain but still played in 4 hours.

Course in Excellent shape!

Played mid-day. Very hot. Air conditioners in the golf carts were not working. :)

I miss the free water bottles that they used to provide in the cart coolers, and the iced towels they handed out before Covid. Thankfully the beverage cart came around periodically.

Course in great condition...

The fairways, greens and tee boxes were in great condition. The beverage cart came around frequently.
Only bad thing was how I played on the front nine.
The long par 3s from the back tees are tough.

Need WATER!!

The course was in good shape as always.....
But, I know that many courses took their water jugs off the course due to Covid, but it is time to put them back! Without a beverage cart, water needs to be provided since you are not allowed to bring outside beverages.
Courses need to provide water.......for free especially during the hot summer months.

Bumpy Slow Greens

I played EC a week before the day that the greens were aerified. I actually putted better on the newly aerified and sanded greens. The greens this day about a week later were very bumpy and very slow. The cost to play should have still been lower like the aerified price from a week ago.

Also, there was not a beverage cart in the middle of the day and no water available on the course. When it is 90 plus degrees, water needs to be provided or at least have a beverage cart circling around.

Still a great course and I will continue to play frequently.

S L O W P L A Y....a g a i n................

Other than taking over 5 hours to play in the early afternoon, and the ranger coming by when we were on hole 16 telling us that the pace should improve, because the slow group is on 18......DUH!.....Where was he 10 holes before?????

The course was in great shape even after being aerated the week before.

Aerification started....

Although they had just started to aerify the tee boxes and the front part of the fairways, the course was in good condition..

I just wish the beverage cart would come around a bit quicker!

Slow pace of play, but greens were very fast!

Course is in good shape. They are trying to fill in the bare spots. A little rain will help.
The greens were super fast and firm.

Great greens!

The greens were in great shape when I played. Very firm and fast. The pace of play is always a bit slow at Ventura because of the amount of play it gets.
The par 3s are long and challenging from the black tees.

Super Fast Greens

The greens were so fast and hard they were a bit ridiculous. Hard to hold the green from any distance outside 100 yards it seemed. The tee boxes were lacking grass and were mostly dirt on half the holes. The play was super slow and needed a ranger out there to help keep the pace up.

Just OK....

This course just needs WATER to help the grass grow.
Fairways and greens were pretty nice, but the tee boxes and the rough were pretty much all sand and dead grass.
