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.

The course would have been ok and is a great price for 18 hikes. However I only play 9 holes and there is no rate offered to only play 9.

Nice Executive Course

2nd time playing this course. The pace of play was much better this round. The fairways were in good condition, but most of the t-boxes and several of the greens were in rough shape. The greens also are very slow. Some of the par fours are really long par threes. But the course is still fun to play.

Poor fairway, tees, and greens

All of the grass on the course was in very bad shape, and in some serious need of water and TLC. The driving range could use a net on the right side to help keep the balls off of the 10th fairway. My group and I all agreed that we probably won't be playing this course again.

It's El Rio

wish I could say what a great experience this was but El Rio needs a lot of work that never seems will happen. Tee boxes are basically sand and non grass, Greens are slow and looked like they needed to be cut.. Tee times are available which makes it a place to golf. Sure, I;d go back but it just never seems to get better
