Over rated, over priced
The fairways and greens in fair shape, the rest of the course not so much. Rough was bare, hard ground with numerous mud puddles although it had not rained for at least 3 days. Cart paths were awful.

Rio
Course in good shape, greens smooth and fairways cut a little longer than the other
city courses which I believe are cut too tight, Kudos to Gasper for joining us with another couple moving our tee time up 30 minutes.

Good value for the money, pace very slow
T-d off before 1 p.m. and still couldn't finish 18. That is frustrating cause it makes the round incomplete. Course was as it's always seems to be. Good but not outstanding.

Great Shape
El Rio GC is in the best shape it has ever been in. Great tee boxes, fairways & greens!
Just like most courses, if you play early the pace of play is good.

Long Frost Delay, but worth the wait
Over an hour delay due to frost, course was in very good shape, the staff did an excellent job getting players out. Very slow play, sand traps are better, but still NOT enough sand!
