Golf Course review
Truly enjoyed the course. Staff very pleasant, course layout is good and reasonbly priced, Definitely will return to play during the time we will spend in Tucson.
Fun experience
Golfed here for the first time. It was enjoyable. The course was in pretty good condition. The greens are very fast. Pace of play was just a bit slow, but not too bad. We knew going in what the course was so it met those expectations. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Lots of par 4’s. It’s worth a look.
In great condition!!
If you’ve never played El Rio before, I suggest giving it a shot! The course is in very good shape right now after over-seeding. Tees and fairways are pretty good and the greens are excellent and fast! Bunkers were a little hard but well maintained. I played from the blue tees and it’s only 6400+ yards but plenty challenging. Enjoy!
A good place to play golf
Staff was friendly and helpful. It was surprisingly a little chilly on 11/7, so wearing a sweater made it permissible to review the weather as "perfect." You will need to carry your clubs to golf cart area, rather than driving the golf cart out to the parking lot to fetch your clubs. "Cart Path Only" play was required today, and that was okay because we don't mind walking over from the cart path to hit the ball.
Good course but…
Fairways are too close together. We had 2 foursomes ahead and they were slower than molasses pouring in the the winter. Players were teeing from wrong box for skill level. Overall, would return for change of pace from courses closer to home.
Good for the price
Nice people and reasonable course. 4some in front of us was slow, but we didn’t worry and relaxed. Sand could be a little work and greens were a mix of slow and fast. Overall not bad for a municipal course.
If the ground crew!,
The grounds crew was cutting the grass, leaving all the clippings on the fairway. We lost balls into the grass on the fairway. If it wasn’t for that. It would’ve been great, but who leaves grass clippings in the fairway? I thought that was unusual. it was very frustrating.
So much potential
Would love to see City put funds into their existing facilities instead of building “Bike Paths”
This course is historic and should be treated as such. The greens were in horrible condition considering the amount of rain we’ve had recently. Lots of landscaping to do.
