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.

Wish it were nicer. Great staff
Front nine closed for reseeding of greens but given the opportunity to not play. Very well done. Played back nine twice. The course is pretty beat up. Only grass on one or two tee boxes. Greens not in great shape and cut too high. Do wish I could say more positive things but hard to do. There are other options close to here. Wish it was nicer. The staff is always great.

It was a Saturday and it was slow
We got caught behind some teenage love birds so we only played 10 holes

Never !!!!!! Poor tee off condition, greens so so...
Dangerous for all the players for example the ten hole and driving range are very near and some balls come down in front of the green. The word FORE !!!!! was often used by several golfers all this round.

Nice course - but very busy
Nice layout but it still needs some care to be top - nice people but long waiting times at the tees

Fun
Fun day at the course. Nice little bar to grab a drink and chat. Cheers!
We will be back
The tee boxes are showing a some wear from the hurricane two months ago. The rest of the course was in pretty good shape
Needs a lot of work
Granted I paid very little to play, used a hot deal. But the course was in terrible shape; barely any grass in the tee boxes, greens with worn spots, fairway long and shaggy. By the looks of things you can wear anything you want out there. Course etiquette was poor, two couples were slow and wouldn't let me play through. No ranger on the course to keep pace of play going.. The drving range was right along the road, just asking to for a disaster with car traffic. I'll never go there again.

Little but nice
Surprised how well kept the course was. Great for working the irons. Will go again.
Home course
I have played many courses Cape coral and South to Naples.This has become my favorite,Friendly staff,Value for my money all around!!
Interesting
Course is adequate at best. Greens not so great. Tee boxes in poor shape. Be prepared to hit off Bermuda rough. It’s everywhere including the fairways. Overall, good enough if you want to kill some time and practice irons.
