A bit contrived.
This feels like a small town course. The holes are very close together with little separation. It is pretty forgiving though because there is quite a bit of grass, unlike many desert courses here in Tucson. Not one you will rave about, but nice to get a round in with family or friends. The greens were really shaggy, making putting a little more challenging.
El rio
Need marshal. Overwatered. Twigs and branch’s need to be removed
El Rio
1. They have a nice range and practice facility, however, they don’t tell you it is often not available to the public because they have First Tee activities. 2. Don’t go to the nice building with the range, that’s not the club house. Walk to the other end of the parking lot. 3. Other than mentioned, nice muni. Good walking course.
Nice condition
Unfortunately, it was cart path only, so lots of walking. No notice about that, but the course was in pretty good condition, and the greens were excellent, although a little slow
Would like dead branches cleaned up from downed trees. Fairways are strewn with debris. With a little work I would give it five stars.
Not bad, but
The greens were all in great condition but the rest of the course needs some serious TLC for that kinda money
Needs a lot of work
I hadn't played this course in years. I don't remember it being as very good course but it bad. It's now bad. I see that it was damaged by storms as there are a bunch of tree debris being cleaned up but the fairways need considerable TLC. Greens weren't bad.
At $20 for the round still not worth it.
Well maintained and fun course
I enjoyed the staff and had a great time playing this course. Very well maintained and the pace of play was goood.
Storm Fallout
Unfortunately the course just had a bunch of trees and limbs down from a storm the night before, so only nine holes were open. But the biggest disappointment was that they'd overseeded the greens recently, and they were impossible to putt on. And there was no notification on the golf app letting you know.
Pass
The clubhouse and food were above par. The staff were all very nice so my expectations were high. The course is in poor shape. The tee boxes were basically rough. Half the fairways are dirt. The greens were just airated so it’s like putting on rocks. Silverbell is better and that’s not saying much.
I hate this course
The only reason I keep coming back to this course is because it’s cheap. And easy to book a round short notice.
I’ve never seen this course in good condition. It’s always been dry, greens are never in great condition. This week there was a lot of mud in areas of play.
Definitely the worst of the city courses
