El Rio Golf Club
publicEl 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.
