Greens getting aerated so they are slow right now.

Fun course to play. If you slice, the trouble is on the right by design. Hit a straight ball and you can avoid the water hazards.

Just okay

Just okay for an executive course. Due to heavy rain, back nine was not playable. Not the courses fault. If you want to practice your short game or a beginner, not too bad. Might try it again.

Fun Course

My son and I always enjoy ourselves at El Rio.
Is it a PGA course or one of the areas best? Of course not. But it is enjoyable and challenging in its own way.
Have an open mind and give it a try.

Great Practice Course For Your Irons.

Friendly staff, besides the tee boxes… the course was in really well condition. I played El Rio many times. Maybe because the snowbirds left and it was a weekday.

All fairways and greens well groomed. The sand traps had been raked and i continued to see the crew working hard.

Tee boxes for blue tees were not in good shape. Hardly any grass. Mostly dirt. I would suggest you purchase some sod.

Overall the course played fast and I shot a 61.

Very Consistent

Always can get a good hot deal here and you can always count on it being in decent condition. They try really hard to keep the grass up and if the tee boxes are bad they just move them so you aren’t hitting off the worst areas.

The course would have been ok and is a great price for 18 hikes. However I only play 9 holes and there is no rate offered to only play 9.

Nice Executive Course

2nd time playing this course. The pace of play was much better this round. The fairways were in good condition, but most of the t-boxes and several of the greens were in rough shape. The greens also are very slow. Some of the par fours are really long par threes. But the course is still fun to play.
