Good day of Golf
The course has so much history as the Tucson Open and it is the same exact course, it is fun to imagine the past and the fun the pro's had playing this course.
Great bunkering around greens
Course is a good challenge around the greens, worth playing again
El Rio getting better
EL RIO is getting in better shape. The best I've ever seen it. Fun course at a real fair price. Easy to walk on and play after Noon.
Improvments
I have played Rio several times and the court is improving a lot the last couple of months but bunkers need to be improved,
tax
One thing I don't understand, (please clarify),, When I use golf now and pay a certain amount then my confirmation email say the amount that is due at the course and when I try to pay at the course they always charge me a little more and say its taxes. What's going on. .But after arguing my point a bit she ended up giving me the course rate which was $18 vs golfnow rate of $27.
good last minute tee time
El Rio is in good shape and is a great place to work on straight shots.....a challenge for most of us.....:).
NOT EVEN A LONE RANGER
There was a 4some 2 groups ahead of us that were goofing around and hitting extra balls and no ranger on the course to inform them that they needed to pick up the pace.
Nice course
The course was in good shape, fairways and roughs were well maintained and the course was easy to follow. The greens were slow but consistent making them easy to play. A few of the tee boxes are in need of maintenance as they are overgrown with uneven plots of grass. As with most muni courses here in Tucson the bunkers are terrible. They have little or no sand and are basically loose packed dirt. They are definitely in need of attention.
Overall, Trini Alvarez El Rio golf course is quite nice and I'd recommend it.
Good value
As always this course is fun to play. Simple to look at but enough trees for a lot of trouble. It was in good shape though the greens are getting burned in spots. The staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make it enjoyable which is not always found in Tucson,
NIce course for value
It was a great course to play on. Will play it again.
after work round
Got off work at 4, started playing at 4;22. got through first 9 and realized I only had 45 minutes to play back 9. front 9 was enjoyable, back 9 nit so much. Course was in great shape as usual. no more starting late for 18 holes.
For a city course, the course has no great features, tee boxes are in less than average shape
Ok for $12 dollars, nothing great to write home about.

Course was in great shape. Greens where just right. No one was in front of us but the course had plenty of players
golf course
The golf course is really showing progress, fairways
and greens are 100 percent better. I really enjoy playing golf their.
best shape years
Green putted true fairways were great the only drawback is they put the tee markers on dirt
The course is in good shape
Stay out of the ariz bunkers! The water on the sixth hole is a health hazzard.
Great Course
The course is not in the best of shape but it's a great course and I recommend it. It was the best deal in town in this day.
Fun course for all levels
My six year old and I played here and it was perfect for both of us. There are many more tee options than was shown on Golf Now. The silver tees made it very playable for the little ones. Relaxed and friendly. We'll be back.
Greens in terrible shape.
The course was in ok condition, but the greens were in very poor shape. The greens were sanded/dressed recently, but it appeared that they don't get watered like they should. It was a 100* day but they was no evidence that the greens were getting any individual attention.(extra water to help the green absorb the sand/dressing) A course alert would have been nice to let people know about the greens,
new management
i think the new management company is doing a great job of refurbishing the golf course .

Yes. Please clarify. There isn't much point buying "discount" tee times online if the course is just going to upgross the difference at point of sale.
