El Rio Golf Club

Overview: North Fort Myers’s El Rio occupies an executive 18-hole footprint with a par of 60. The semi-private layout dates to 1970 and measures 3,004 yards from the blue tees, making the scorecard notably shorter than a regulation course.

History: El Rio’s long-running North Fort Myers identity is documented by the club’s own website and local course directories. Its executive format has made it a practical part of the Fort Myers golf scene for golfers looking for a shorter, accessible round.

Did You Know? The scorecard contains twelve par threes, giving El Rio a distinctly short-game-focused character. Its final six holes continue the par-60 structure rather than shifting to a conventional regulation finish.
