Worth the cost

Greens were in great shape (maybe a little slow).

Fairways and traps were fine.

Speed of play was great till the last 4 holes, we were a twosome and joined up with the twosome in front of us on the 15th hole, waited a lot and could see there was a single, another single, theN a twosome in front of us all playing super slow! A player’s assistant could have helped a lot!

Don’t expect a beverage cart, isn’t one , so load up before heading out!

Overall a good course that could be great

First time playing in the wind.

Never played in wind like this, had to learn to keep the ball down, I did a nice job of it. Played the first 9 by myself and then teamed up with a husband and wife from Canada, had a very nice time. The fairways were in great shape as were the greens. Bunkers for the most part could use some sand but nowadays I find most courses have this problem. The course was very enjoyable, the bar restaurant was very nice and the drinks were affordable. Had a cheeseburger, very good.. One thing I was told before I went out, try and play early as the wind comes up in the afternoon, will remember that next time. Overall I enjoyed the course and will play it again the next time I come down here. I think other golfers would enjoy this course.

Need new greenskeeper.

Never seen greens in such poor condition! Might as well put the pins in the middle of the fairway. Contrary to their website the restaurant had no food at all. They should have paid us to golf there. Stay AWAY! Don't waste your money.

Could be better

Liked the course layout and carts, and staff were very good. The only problem was the greens. Poor grass coverage and painted surface. Too bad, otherwise we liked it here.

Good course

We had a very windy day to play. I understand that is pretty normal. Course was in good shape. Greens were speedy. Wind would blow ball a little if the pace was not firm. Greens were firm I assume because of the wind. Hopefully I will get chance to play when not so breezy.

Rates should be given to LOCAL if their license says Bullhead, Laughlin,Ft Mohave that should be considered, also GPS is very speratic. Remember locals are here when Snowbirds leave!

Great Desert Course

From the time we checked in until we finished the round, we found nothing wrong with the course. Very friendly when we checked in, allowed us to go a little early as it wasn't crowded. Course was in great shape and showed the effects of ongoing good maintenance.

Greens were excellent and rolled smoothly.

Nice, straightforward and well kept course

We enjoyed our day at El Rio although it was windy (as usual in that area) and the pace of play was glacial due to a tournament ahead of us. The course was in good shape including the bunkers which were well groomed with a good amount of sand. The price was about right and, were it not for the wind, I would probably go back.

Great, relaxing and fun course to go with friends!

Had a boys weekend away with 5 other good friends. Looking for a course to have fun and enjoy the day golfing and El Rio was it!! We are all 10 to 20 handicap golfers and this course laid out perfect for what we were looking for. Staff was fabulous from the first phone call for reservations to seeing us out the door. They set us up with clubs, balls, tees and carts and were ready for us as we arrived. Pro Shop had all 6 of us all signed in, paid and to the driving range within 10 minutes. I"ve been to much more expensive courses and this has taken a lot longer.

Course was in decent shape and about what we expected. Greens and tee boxes were in good shape and well maintained. Fairways had some rough patches but nothing that affected score or experience negatively. Clubhouse bar and staff made the 19th hole an enjoyable experience to end the day. All in all would highly recommend to anyone looking for fun and relaxing golf experience with friends.

REALLY DISSAPOINTED

Staff was not friendly or accommodating, made me go get my own cart, after they had taken my clubs down to driving range.

Booked an early tee time and when I turned to play the back nine, they sent out a shotgun tournament with 92 players.

Not sure why they would put bookings on Golf Now when they had a tournament with 92 people.

I would not play course again if in the Laughlin area. When I finished there was no one around to take my cart or even asked how the round was. VERY TERRIBLE SERVICE
