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.

Fun, short, course.
This is a fun little course, mostly par 3's. I wouldn't say it's easy, but I enjoyed it very much. The greens were great! I'm from New York so the putting was easier from what I'm used to. Definitely recommend it.
Slow
There were too many people for the pace to be good.
el Rio
The executive course was crowded & was backed up on all holes, I am sure it is a seasonal thing.
Slow play
Foursome in front of us with open hole in front of them did not let us play through so we waited on every hole. Course layout leaves no room for straying from fairway but needed mowing. Greens kind of shaggy also.
Nice short 18 holes
Nice short 18 holes, well maintained,friendly, but pace of play was very very slow
Nice course for beginners
Nice course for real beginners, very easy, short, playable.
El Rio GC
Very slow play on back nine. Dangerous on beginning of back nine. Hole #10 ran along driving range. 3 groups on one hole most of the time. Quit after hole #13.

Quaint little course
Took our son there . He is a new golfer. Was a good course for him as it it a short course , all 3 and 4 pars .
Lots of water though . Overall we had a great time golfing at El Rio .
Enjoyed it.
Had a good time here. This is a par 60 executive length course. The course was in good shape. The staff are very friendly. Watch out for the driving range alongside 10. Lots of mis-hit range balls in the fairway so you have to pay attention where yours lands!
Shotmaking
This course is short but requires some good shotmaking on a lot of the holes

Great little course.
Golfed there fir years. Always a great experience and staff is great every time.
Good Quality Executive Course
El Rio is a nice little executive course that is not very busy, except for Tuesday evening league play. This course provides a good opportunity to practice your short game. It is not difficult and most holes have few obstacles.
Had a great time !!!
