Good golf
The course was in pretty good condition. We had to rent clubs for our guest. The clubs were decent, but $50 for rental is a high price to pay.
Decent Course
The tee boxes, fairways at El Rio were in good shape. The greens were okay. Some better than others. The biggest complaint was the pace of play on this particular day. The round was almost 5 hours and 30 minutes long.
Course management
Great!!. Very professional, welcoming and the pace of golfing, the BEST in Tucson and I golfed in most courses!!.. the fairway grass is beautiful to golf from!!. I golf three times a week and will golf at El Rio once a week. Thank you.

Fun course! Very slow but happy to meet and be with so many tourists that visit our great weather, how can one not include a round of golf in our great Old Town! Tucson.
Chief’s El Rio Review
We had a good round on a Sunday afternoon. Play was a little slow but we’re retired so it doesn’t bother us. Course was in good condition… We will play El Rio again. It
El Rio Golf
Greens were in terrible shape… bathrooms where closed no running water……city golf courses are terrible in Tucson !!!
Very low end golf course.
Pace of play was horrendous, took over 3 hours to play 9 holes. We didnt even finish our round of 18 as we were so incredibly frustrated. Marshall's were stacking players and not enforcing pace. Layout causes you to backtrack on the hole you just played and right in line of fire of other players. Not recommended at all. Will never go again
You get what you pay for
El Rio is very flat but somewhat forgiving. You need to be wary of golfers on other holes, as balls can come flying from everywhere. No Marshall to speed up the slow groups. Avoid playing on the weekend or expect a 4.5-5 hour round.
NO management of pace of play
Our front group was super slow during the hole course, we gave up playing after 14th hole
