Nice shape
Course was in best shape I've seen in years. Played Sunday and Tuesday Tuesday's rain made it a little wet but overall greens receptive and rolled true
A Favorite of Mine
Grew up playing EL Rio, so it's a personal favorite. Seems like an easy course, but you must hit the ball straight. Fairways could be in better shape, but not bad for a city course. Bunkers need to be improved (hard panned sand) as almost every green is guarded by bunkers, but regulars know these about El Rio. Hit the ball straight and you will score well on this course.
The course is in okay shape. Challenge because of the traps in the front of virtually every green. Needs better signage
Cart paths are terrible and barely any grass for a very high rate.
Great Course For Walking
I grew up playing this course. The city seems to have upgraded the care now provided on this course and it is in good shape. It is a fairly flat course, so it is a great course to walk. It is not a long course, but you need to keep your shots in the fairway and all of the greens are protected by bunkers.
Difficult for a muni
Narrow fairways with several forced carries. Greens too close to one another creates hazards. Fairways and greens were in great condition. Bunkers were typical desert, hard without much sand, but all nicely raked. Friendly staff. Decent driving range. Overall too difficult for an average golfer.
Golf Cart Woes
unfortunately our cart broke down not once but twice, They brought out a replacement and that one broke down also.
