Amazing facilities. Great layout and massive upgrades from the new owners. Top 3 best public courses in Central Florida

Had the pleasure to play by myself at Rio Pinar yesterday at 8:26. Jeff was very helpful in explaining the course and Jacob, the night before, did a great job in helping me book my tee time. Course was in great shape with very fast greens. And yes, when people talk about the squirrels in the other reviews, they are not joking. They are everywhere and will legit take your food out of your cart no hesitation. Only reasons this not 5/5 star review was that pace of play could’ve been a little better, I was told there was a group of 9 in front of me broken into threesomes. I ended up playing thru the last group as they were pretty slow, but the others weren’t. Also, the track man range wasn’t working when I went the night before as well. Will be back, just hoping there isn’t a large group in front of me and the trackman range is working.

This place is PURE. The facilities are top of the line, the folks working there clearly love what they do. Couldn’t have been more accommodating. As for the golf, absolutely top notch. Greens are firm fast and true. Course is challenging in the best way and in perfect condition. 10/10

Rio Pinar Golf Club is easily one of the best public courses in the Orlando area. As a professional golfer, I’m really impressed with the overall course conditions. The greens are firm and fast, and the course is challenging but fair. It’s a great test of golf and definitely worth playing if you’re in Orlando.

New favorite course! Golfed here for the first time today and we loved it! Not only was the course in amazing shape from, greens, fairways and rough (minus just a few tee boxes getting aerated) but the staff were extremely friendly knowledgeable and helpful! Course quality was equal to celebration panther lake and even the Disney courses! Shade at tee boxes from tees is nice and the layout of the homes is very enjoyable not too difficult and not too dull. Had a beverage cart girl on a Friday which is hard to come by on courses now a days, great to have tht on a hot day. Side note the fox squirrels everywhere are adorable
