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.

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!

Okay course

We enjoyed our golf here, it is mostly par 3's with some par 4's as well. Not much a a club house, there is a putting green and driving range. Good for your short game.

Very nice little course. Only a few longer holes.

Course was in good shape for this time of the year.

Not a piece of cakel

A course that is a challenge with greens that are sloped and pitched enough to add that extra bit of difficulty

Great condition

For mid-May, in semi-drought conditions, the fairways and greens are in great shape! We have enjoyed playing this short, but challenging course and will go back soon, and the price is certainly right!

Needs Some Work

This executive course needs some help from the clubhouse to the course itself. They are not very friendly once you enter and it feels almost like you are bothering them.

Money needs to be funneled back into the clubhouse and definitely the course. Almost like playing in somebody's back yard.
