El Rio Golf Course

This course has always been one of my favorites until this winter when they did not overseed the fairways which are dead grass or bare ground. The greens are in excellent shape however.

The price was right, but you got what you paid for. Fairways were not overseeded, and there is no driving range.

People are great but course is funky, greens not too bad.

Good value for the price paid. Staff is always nice. Course could of been in better shape but, given the time of season the conditions were what I expected.

Slow play, bad greens and fairway on a course I usually like to play. I was disappointed. The staff were the best thing since they were friendly and laughing.

Staff was friendly, and made sure pace of all players was steady.

If I wanted to play on a dead grass couse, I would play Santa Rita. If you want to make money don`t run the down.

The city should find a private buyer for this course. It's obvious
by the present condition of the course that they want to get rid of it.

Course is fun but challenging. Nearly all greens are guarded by front sand traps and are quite small. Greens putted well and the fairways were adequate.

If the city is going to shut down a course, my choice of the one to close is "sandpan" Silverbell. If the dust doen't kill you, the sewer smell will.

The prices have gone up for this time of year but if you can lock onto a good deal it is worth it.

This course is short and pretty wide open, but really is a pretty good layout for a city course. Has very good greens for a city course. Obviously, needs water and maintenance to improve it's overall playability and appearance. Has some good par-3's and two good par-5's.

plays to slow will play again have to lower price till course is better

NEEDS TO GREEN UP , COURSE SHOULD BE WATERED , NOT DRENCHED , WATER LAYING IN SAND TRAPS , & HUGE BEAVER PELTS DUE TO OVER WATERING.

Friendly staff, more difficult than it appears, needs some additional maintainence

Not a bad experience but the lack of overseeding on the fairways left much to be desired

had a good time-- friendly players on course--enjoyed the
weather and veiws

Sorry to hear it may be closing. Our foursome had a good time, pace of play was decent...4hrs. Fairways a bit blotchy, but bump here and there and it was fine. Priced well.

Play was slow due to Randolph & Dell Urich courses being overseeded. Don't know why more people don't use this course.

This course is a goat pasture. It is not taken care of: there is absolutely no provision for fixing divots in the fairway. The greens are rock hard and will not hold even the best lob shot. There is discussion about closing this course--since it is not taken care of at all, the closure is probably a good idea. I personally will never play this useless course again. The City of Tucson should be ashamed. It has left an average course at best go to seed.

Good piece and nice course . I have been here three times and the only negative thing I can say is they schedule people way to close and maybe on too of each other . We arrive on time each tee time , and find that there is groups checking in at the same time and many others just getting going ahead of us . It causes a huge traffic jam ...and people end up getting mad at each other( actually had someone go and tell the club house that my group way laying this ..yet there way at least 5 groups of people in front of us waiting to tee off also ...some middle aged man said thin to try and get us tossed off our tee time so he could go , the people in charge was polite yet the man and his child still kept yelling and making threats and they did nothing to stop them or ask them to leave .)

Just have patience if you plan to play here
