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.

Just ok, nothing special
Very slow pace of play, not a great layout. Short tune up course but I won’t be a regular.
El Rio golf course had sign out side with lower price than what I paid on line.
Nice Course
Well maintained. Pace was perfect for a relaxing day of golf with friends.
A nice round of golf with my wife, father-in-law and his friend J. The course was in good condition, as were the carts and club house. The staff was friendly and kind. We'll be back.
Florida outing
Course was in better shape than last year when I played it. Thought the price was high for an Executive course.
The course is in very poor condition, took 4 and half hours to play. And I would consider it a dangerous layout with fairways next to each other with unmarked cart paths. Not worth the risk or the time..
Good Warmup Venue
This is an easy, short course that gives your middle and short irons a lot of practice. The condition of the course was OK, and all features, including the water hazards, were up to snuff. It was our first time out in several months and was exactly what we were looking for. I used my driver twice, but only on two short par 4's. Considering this is Florida & Winter, it was a very good value and a nice way to spend a couple hours.
Good value
The course is a little short for my kind of golf , but it was a good value and short iron practice.
Nice short course
Par 60 course with lots of Par 3 holes which makes for a slow round on a busy day. Nice course if you are looking for something shorter.
Mediocre experience
Overall fair golf, but should be closer to 25 per person and not 35. Good for short game practice, but very tight and a number of errant shots from the practice range and others holes made their way to within 10 feet of us. Disappointing that some golfers do not yell fore when they should!
Excellent value
Nice course maintained well staff was very friendly and knowledgeable ...the pace of play was excellent on the front 9 but slowed down considerably on the back 9 ...apparently that’s common so either the course is sending walk-ins off the back or the course needs a Marshall ...either way didn’t ruin our day but would be something that could be improved.
Expensive so so course
Very slow group in front of us. Tees in rough condition.
