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.

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.
