Nice course

Course was in pretty good condition (a little wet in places). Pace of play was good. Cold and windy day which increased the difficulty. Nice course, recommended.

Need sand in the bunkers

The main reason I did not give a good review for this coarse is because it has a lot of bunkers but they are lacking sand. Plenty of rocks big enough to damage your clubs if you try to hit out of them. We ended up just throwing our balls back onto the grass. Put some real sand in them or plant some grass.

Watch the wind

Course was very well played the greens were in excellent shape and we’re rolling true. If you landed in the rough it was like hitting out of concrete. The bunkers throughout the course were waste bunkers with gravel inside them. All in all it was a great course it just needs a little bit of love, for the price it was worth the money.

Great Course!

Great course! Fairways are amazing for the price. Greens roll true. They just aerated so fairways are bumpy, but amazingly playable. Greens aren't perfectly green in color, but roll true. They are great. Course was awesome for the layout. Will play again!

El Rio Golf

Course was in excellent condition, the front nine was recently aerated so was a little muddy. The greens were in great shape and rolled nicely! Compared to other courses in the area this one was top notch! My wife and I golfed as a twosome and pace of play was good. Will definitely play this course again.

challenging course with a easy going staff

I’m on the road for work and play all over the states. This is a hidden gem, and one of the best courses, for the price , in Arizona. You won’t be using many clubs, unless you go astray, but the ones you use you better be confident with. The staff to care of me. Very easy going.

Nice Come Back

We had not played this course for a few years...at that time conditions were deteriorating. Now..a pleasant surprise! This course has made a fantastic comeback. The greens are excellent condition...they roll true and are soft enough to let a ball grab. Although not overly fast..still have a good pace. Probably about a 10-11 on stimp meter. There was really only one fairway that had a few patches of drier grass. Tee boxes are excellent also. The pro shop is hit or miss..we checked in at the clubhouse bar..which was OK. Course is reasonably priced...if you can get it on a Hot Deal..go for it..you will not be disappointed! Like their sign say..”Best kept secret in Bullhead”
