Rude staff & course a mess!

After teeing off 1st hole we found course completely unplayable being looged with 3 inches of mud in fairways and everywhere. Why weren't we notified beforehand? My wife has alzheimer's and I like to keep her active but she slipped and fell in mud twice on first hole. We went straight back to clubhouse just 5 minutes after tee off to have an elderly lady say too bad no refunds. I explained we dont want refund but credit to play when safe for my wife. The old lady was degrading and downright rude! STAY AWAY!

Fun course with very friendly staff!

Had a great day here with a fun little course in above average condition. All the staff from the front gate, pro shop, starters, and even the residents are upbeat and go out of their way to make you feel welcomed.

More weeds than fairway ...

On hole 2 we caught up on a foursome that was spending 30 minutes a hole. Didn't even let us through. Course is winding between trailers and it was rare to get a fairway lie without having to deal with a clump of weeds.

No Nine hole rates with 90+ degrees?

This course needs to offer couples rate for 9 holes after 3pm or so. They are leaving a bunch of money on the table by not doing 9 hole rates at all. They need the money as the course conditions have gotten much worse over time. There's many brown dead grass spots, plain dirt spots, and greens have alot of dead grass. Here's a picture of ninth fairway for example.

Great Golf! Great People! Great Price!

Anytime I review a golf course I evaluate the value, friendliness of staff, and plying conditions. El Rio hits it out of the park! Yes, you can find a better course around but expect to pay double the money. This course has very friendly staff, a fun little course, and exceptional value. A GEM!
