About El Rio Golf Club

El Rio Golf Club on West Speedway is one of Tucson's beloved municipal courses, operated by the City of Tucson and serving the westside community since 1930. Located near the Tucson Mountains and the Santa Cruz River floodplain, El Rio has a classic old-school character — mature Bermuda fairways, large trees, and traditional green complexes that predate the desert-target golf era. The course's history makes it a local institution, with generations of Tucsonans learning the game here. The layout is accessible and walkable, with modest length and a straightforward design that rewards ball-striking over power. Green fees remain some of the lowest in the region, keeping the course packed with loyal regulars.

History

El Rio Golf Club opened in 1930, making it one of the oldest continuously operating municipal courses in Arizona. The City of Tucson developed the course to provide affordable public golf to westside residents. The course retains much of its original character, with mature trees and traditional design features reflecting its Depression-era origins.
