Summer golf in Rio Real
We booked a round of golf in Rio Real's website. They have a calendar showing discounts available for each day. We picked the lowest price. We got teetime and payment confirmations by email. When we arrived at caddie master's desk, we were told that we can only play back nine, but we can do it twice to get "a full round". When we asked why this was not told when booking, they claimed that the ongoing maintenance work was informed in the booking page. I decided to check that with my mobile phone and it appeared that no information regarding the maintenance work was there. Then they said that it is said when using computer (not mobile phone). I couldn't check that there, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case. They were willing to refund our payment, but in case you have already arrived to the golf course and want to play golf, there is no real option available anymore (our teetime was 16.20 Twilight). We are very disappointed the way Rio Real staff handled the case. They just appealed that we should have understood the ongoing maintenance work by the discounted price. We played Rio Real in last January too and that time the price was roughly the same but no maintenance work. So we don't see how the maintenance work should have been understood just by the price. We have played golf 30 years in Costa Del Sol and it is common that low season and certain days of the week (we played on Monday) you get discounts. So only based on price, you cannot know if there is maintenance work ongoing or not. They should put maintenance work in booking calendar so it is clearly marked and also when making your reservation you should be notified if any special things to consider. And also confirmation emails should highlight any deviations from standard service.

Good golf course
Great golf course and friendly staff and the course is not to tough for the below average golfer like myself.

Rio Real: A gem of a golf course.
Course is superb. Greens very speedy. Bunkers have soft sand unlike some other courses that have hard grit. I will be back every time I visit Costa del Sol.
