I’m truly excited about the new management at El Rio Golf Club. You can already feel the renewed energy and commitment to elevating the overall experience. It’s clear there’s a strong focus on improving course conditions, customer service, and creating a welcoming atmosphere for everyone who steps on the property. It’s an amazing course, peaceful, scenic, and enjoyable every time out. The layout is fun and fair, and the setting makes it easy to relax and just enjoy the round. On top of that, the staff is truly a blessing. They’re welcoming, kind, and you can tell they genuinely care about the golfers and the direction of the club. There’s something special about seeing a course step into a new chapter, and I’m genuinely looking forward to golfing here more often. With fresh leadership and a clear vision, El Rio has incredible potential to become an even stronger destination for players in the area. Excited to see what’s ahead, and even more excited to get more rounds in here. ⛳️
Came here because of the great recent reviews. Particularly for a guy named woody, who took my reservation. Well. He quit and the place is off the wagon. Out of carts and "overbooked due to online tee times" (I can assure you the problem was they didn't block enough time for their morning shotgun). We left after being advised of an hour behind and a 5 hour round. 2 stars for friendly (but stressed) staff and also the course DOES look like it's in good shape. Photo is of #1 tee
We went out with friends yesterday and it was great! The course is beautiful and you can really see this CC has stepped up their game. Check in was fast and friendly. Nichole and Rachel at the counter are super fun and very friendly. They bragged about their whole team of hard workers making this fun and very challenging course a destination course. The prices are the best in the valley that we have experienced. Great Job ERCC.
Decently challenging course with great views, part of another burgeoning country club neighborhood. Fairways and greens were both in pretty good shape for the desert, you can tell they put effort into the aesthetics. Customer service is great and the rates are relatively affordable for the area.
Great value for the price. Staff was friendly and professional. They made my wife and I feel right at home. Greens were decent, some had some issue but ran true and fast. If you keep it in the fairway you’ll have no complaints, that’s desert golf. This course probably has the best 3 finishing holes in the valley. The layout is fun and challenging as you want to make it.
