El Rio Golf Club

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.

Very busy. Short on golf carts. Front nine played at pace. Back nine backed up two to three foursomes at one point. Would play the course again.

Very good price to play this small, tight layout. Greens and fairways in good condition.

My concern is that the layout is such that playing there is accompanied by errant golf balls falling close to other players frequently, I have never seen a more dangerous course in that regard.

The course looked fine as we pulled up but the conditions were not very good. We had a bit of rain about four hours before our tee off. The fairways had a lot of bald patches and muddy areas which may be caused by poor drainage. Cart paths were all dirt and mud puddles. If you just wanted to swing your clubs for some target practice then go ahead but I wouldn't recommend if you want to play a decent round. For a short course the pace of play was pretty bad we sat at most tee boxes behind two groups sometimes three. Most short courses you should be able to finish in three hours or less. My wife and I called it quits after 3 1/2 hours and we were still at the 13th hole. Really the only positive was the cold beverage when we return the cart.

Sorry but it really was a let down.

Have played this course many times in the past 3 years. The greens are in excellent condition and it's a fun executive course with a few challenging holes. The course is fun to play!
