El Rio Golf Club

$40 / round for an exec course that is not maintained nor barely cared for is way off base. You could drive 10-15 minutes and pay $10 more to play a normal 18 hole course in way better condition. Oh, behold the course is littered with orange Home Depot buckets. What a sight. Sad day of golf.

Tee boxes look like they're under construction. All the water holes are empty.

The weather needs to cooperate. It needs to rain!

This is a well maintained par 3 course, a great place to work on your short game, but get there early. I played it twice as a twosome and first group out at dawn. We were done both times in about two hours, but when we were finishing there was a looonng line waiting to tee off. I played several courses in SW FL the 6 weeks we were here and this was the best maintained of any! Nice greens, real sand traps, and good fairways!

Course was in good shape considering no rain forever, nice little course for the price, staff is great.

Fun round. First executive experience. Put into friendly foursome. 3 hr round. Good for working on your iron and short game. Greens were in good shape considering how dry it is here.

Fairways and greens were good but tee boxes need work. Pace of play was terrible, took ove 4 hours for a par 60 Executuve course.

This was our second time playing here and both times was a good experience. Nice layout and easy to get around.

course was ok but rather "tight",,,,,fairways were close to each other causing one to watch other player not in your group play to avoid being hit by their balls. had to wait for a cart for over 15 minutes past our tee time. did not like that we were paired with 2 other players we did not know leaving me to be the only woman in the foursome. it was not as enjoyable as it could have been if we would have been paired with a "couple:"

Course was tight in spots. Hot weather made for some golfers to try to push play. Course packed past full but play was steady. really pretty vegetation and layout of water

I was so surprised a hidden gem amazing greens

I have a winter home in Ft Myers Beach

And played some expensive courses. We were in the area that day and wanted to get a round in. Took a chance, surprise an amazing course

Try it!!!

January through March are peak times in Florida and bargains are few. I booked this course due to price;you get what you pay for. Backups were constant, due to nature of par 3 courses.The greens were slow and hard to judge how firm to strike the ball . It was an ok course. I probably won't return.

Very short course. No par 5 s and the par 4 s were very short. But a good place for a couple of seniors in their late 70 s. The fairways are a little close so watch out for golfers coming at in other fairways. Had to wait some time for a cart. They really need more carts. Greens putt slow compared to what I am used to. Course gets a lot of play so be prepared to wait some between shots. But, we had a great time just being out there.

putting green and practice facility available as a single I was able to join a group of three guys and off we went found the course in good condition with an array of different and well designed holes the result was enjoyable and repeatable

I had some time to kill and this was an inexpensive course to play. The course was very crowded and is fairly tight so at some points you felt the need for a hard hat. A woman in the group behind us was hit by an errant drive. I heard "four" yelled so many times I was getting twitchy especially on the back nine. The course was dry but in okay shape considering the heavy play. The people playing the course were great, they tolerated the back ups with humor and I ended up having a great time.

The best part of the course was the excellent shape of the greens. Otherwise the course was very ordinary. Some of the fairways are not separated from each other and balls may enter your fairway as you are playing your shot. The driving range is adjacent to the tenth hole with no separation and I was almost hit as I played the hole. Pace of play was very slow with several groups waiting on some holes. A ranger would have been helpful.

What a great course to work on your short game. This place is a hidden gem, did not expect to find the course in such great condition. Had a great time and played with a great bunch of guy's from North Carolina. I highly recommend, I will be playing this course again.
