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.

Stay Away

Booked this course for 2 couples. Not sure were to start, tee blocks - terrible, fairways - terrible, greens - terrible. Its a par 3 course, all 18 holes, says some par 4's, around 200 yard, some par 4's are shorter. If you want to go out and hack around, this is a course for you, if not select another one.

The Grounds

The Greens and Tee boxes need so much work. It is cheaper than most golf courses, and usually tee times are available.

Pick another Executive Couse

Had to leave after 9 because pace was so slow. Starter could’ve sent me out as a single before 4-some, but made me wait for another to join.

We could’ve fgome off front 9 but wouldn’t let us. There was only a 2-some on it.

Our 2-some waited for the 4-some at every hole on the back 9.

Course not in good condition either.
