El Rio golf course is in a future residential development that probably won't be back to building new homes for a few years, just hope they continue to keep the golf course up and running. It's located 30 minutes south of Laughlin on the east side of US 95 in Mohave Valley. It was designed by Matt Dye, nephew of Pete Dye, and is one of the better golf course in our area. Fair and straightforward style of course, open and mostly links-like through the desert scrub and terrain with great views of the surrounding mountains, rolling and forgiving fairways, undulating greens, and four holes with water features. The course is a par 72 with sets of tees ranging from 5,300 to 7,100 yards, 72.9/123 ratings from the tips. Rates range depending on the time of year, but you can usually find an off-peak lower rate.

Forgettable! El Rio seems to be another casualty of the American Golf corporation. The course seemed to be over-watered a bit, with big puddles in the middle of the cart paths. There were a few fun holes but mostly to us, the holes were pretty boring. The biggest gripe was the condition of the course. Greens had a lot of bare spots and at least one hole had some mower damage. The fairways were pretty rough with a lot of bare spots and standing water El Rio was the first course we played this trip. After playing the other courses in the are(at the same price) we were even more angry that El Rio is charging the same as Los Lagos and Mojave Resort (El Rio, you should be ashamed of yourselves for charging us $84 dollars for a course in this shape! (That was the “Casino” rate. $120 without staying at one of the casinos on Laughlin)
