3/21/26 - Rio Pinar Golf Club

First opened in 1957, Rio Pinar Golf and Country Club has a rich history and a great future. The semi-private club, which offers a 7,000-yard championship golf course, is the former home of the PGA Tour's Citrus Open and LPGA's Women's Citrus Open. Recent renovations, however, have the club and the course thriving in the 21st century. The course, which was designed by Mark Mahannah, was redesigned in 1995 by architect Lloyd Clifton. More recently, more than $3 million was put into renovations that include new Champion Bermuda greens, white sand bunkers. As for the course -- which has five sets of tees, starting at 5,346 yards -- it's a traditional Florida layout with mature Spanish-moss-covered trees, strategic bunkering and subtle greens.
