About
El Rio Golf Course in Fort Myers is a player-friendly layout that will appeal to players of all skill levels. It's an ideal course for beginners who are looking to get in some practice on a full-length course. The layout consists of mostly par 3s and most of the holes are on the shorter side. Though it's a seemingly simple design, the greens have slopes that range from subtle to dramatic, which can make determining your approach to them a daunting task. Trees that line the fairways demand accuracy but the landing areas are generous. El Rio Golf Course has a pace of play that makes it convenient if you're looking for a quick round and the layout is gentle enough for beginners, and even junior players, to tackle with confidence.

Goat Trail
This course should be closed!! No grass on fairways, greens are dirt, and tee boxes are sand, so a teed ball will not standup!!
Driving range parallels the 10th hole so people playing number 10 are at risk of getting hit from balls Boeing struck on the driving range!!
Don’t waste your money!!
Very very poor experience
We showed up to tee boxes made of sand, greens were lacking grass in general, fairways were like rough. The maintenance crew actually ran a mower over not one but two of our balls. We played three holes in thirty minutes and went to the clubhouse to ask for a refund. They refused and did not seem to care the course was in terrible condition. I’ve never seen a worse course.

Enjoyable Outing
We've played this course often in the past and always enjoyed it. The guy that checked us in was super friendly. Play on the front-9 was slow as we were behind walkers, but not on the back-9, so it speeded up. The course conditions were fine and the greens were superb. Recommend this one.
The staff are always super friendly.
This course ain’t the prettiest but it is affordable and is a great way to spend a couple of hours playing. The staff is always friendly and make you feel welcome.
Not good
Worst condition I have seen seen in all my years of playing golf

Tee time advancement
I reserved a single tee time for 11:56. After showing up an hour early (as I’m visiting the state and like to be early) the gentleman in the clubhouse decided to send me out early. Usually this is fine but the course had a very large scramble tournament. The gentleman send me out with a 3 some that was involved in this tournament. I was told by this group to play ahead of them. After doing that the group behind me asked me to hit in to them and the grout behind me was pushing me forward. I felt rushed and couldn’t get a good shot. I ended up leaving because of this. For future reference please practice time keeping especially when tournaments are happening
