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.

Golfer Reviews
challenging holes
Various lengths of holes, so you can use many woods/irons. Greens were the best shape of any we have played on in Fl so far.
Fun relaxing course
Layout and length just right for fun, non-stressful outing. Just one problem: the tee box acess to #14 reuires you to double back along the 13th fairway. There is a blind spot where golfers teeing off on thirteen cannot see golfers exiting the 14th and to the 14th. You just have to be careful. I hit a draw sometimes and I have to be extra careful.
Great Day!
This was a return trip to El Rio and we had a great time. Played with 2 locals who were really fun, the putts were falling and the beer was flowing. The course is in good shape and our pace of play was excellent at 2:25!! We had drinks and snacks with our new friends after the round and the staff couldn't have been nicer! We'll be back.
Inexpensive and fun!
I really enjoyed our day at El Rio. We were paired with a delightful couple and the course was in pretty good shape. The staff was very friendly, the food and drink prices reasonable, 2:45 pace of play excellent, and the price was right! We look forward to a return visit!
Nice executive course
My girlfriend and I try to play this course one time per week. It is in very good condition and is great for practicing your short game. The staff are very friendly and help make the experience enjoyable.
nice exe course for short game
was pleasure to play and staff were excellant and curse is graet for short game
Great Executive course to play
This is a great executive style course. Tee's, fairways and greens are in great shape.
This course is sorely in need of attention and management needs to have a marshall on the course to keep the yahoos from going crazy.
Poor conditions, low quality par 3 executive course. Lots of people who never play holding things up, just not a good experience. I got to the club they had an advertised price out front, then told me if I wanted a cart it would be more. Not much fun.
