Just a very beat up course

Lots of dead grass, divots, and dirt. Couldn’t tell some holes from others. Good pace of play cause of the size though.

Tough to guess yardage

The yardage on the holes is a total guess. The tee markers were in the wrong place so it was hard to know the actual distance when trying off. There are no permanent yardage markers to help either.

OK

Played there with a friend for the first time. It's a smaller course that is suffering from the drought conditions. It is not well irrigated. Beware of errant shots.
It was a busy day and the attendant warned us they were overbooked. Pace of play was slow as a result.
Overall, this is an OK course, good for the short game.

El Rio Return

Not expensive for a SW Florida course in the winter. Tee areas were a mess. Greens good for March. Slow pace. Tight layout so you have to beware of others teeing off or the driving range. Scheduled tee times don't mean much.
