First Time Playing

Overall experience of the course was on the positive side. If you want a flat course this is not one(not knocking it for that). Greens were nice. Fairways were a little thin in spots.
Here are my negatives
No course signage to direct you to hole 1 or 10. Drove around a bit to find them. Had to ask other golfers were to find said holes.
2nd negative. The staff (almost non-existent) walk in to check in, pro shop was empty lights off doors open. No one working the bar. Ran into a staff member finally and got checked in. No on to ask where to find hole 1. Went in at the turn to get snacks and ask where hole 10 was. No one. Outside of non-existent staff round was good.

First Time Playing

Sunny and windy Tuesday

The course played well even with the wind. I was pleased with the conditions, pace, and company. The staff was like old friends on my first visit. I look forward to my next opportunity.

Course in best condition I have seen in years.

Haven’t played El Rio in years as it had gone down hill. Was pleasantly surprised to see how much it has been improved. Will definitely play it again when the wind isn’t blowing.
