Have to say, fairly well organized. If you can afford it, skip the "morning" session which has the lower ranking players, which starts 11am and you sit in the baking sun or hide under your umbrella and annoy all those in front of you.
The food selection was decent, typical fast foods, empanadas, pizza, hotdog, ice cream, sucos, and plenty of cold beverages to stay hydrated. Things weren't too over priced compared to the typical restaurant prices. The sitting area was a little cooler but probably could have done with a few more fans causing a breeze in the stifling heat.
The restrooms were well maintained but hot as outside so it was a little like an oven.
The best stop was the gift shop which was air conditioned! They also have a bunch of sportswear for sale and only a few items with the Rio Open logo (hat, visor, umbrella).
There was plenty of sponsor booths with oversized tennis rackets, practice booths, mini golf and a few others with prizes.
The stadium seating was typical, hard white small folding seats unless you got the front line seats in the sun.
The staff was all friendly. I felt bad for the ones who had to do door control. People need to understand once the game is in play you need to sit down!
Otherwise it was an awesome experience. They even had a taxi stand right outside the gates to make transportation easy.
By the way, if you are at the club during the day and like cats, there's a bunch hanging around the gates. The jockey club feeds them so they're friendly.
