Challenge with views

Played two days after reopening after over seeding. Course is challenging with lots of desert to lose balls in. Keep it in the fairway and you should be pleased with your result. Fairways and greens were excellent, especially for a city course.

Fix your ball marks people!

Course could use a mow and some flatter tee boxes but overall solid course for the price. Only complaint has to do with other golfers. They said it was their first day open from a reseed and still I fixed at least 5 ball marks on every green. "But I don't know how..." Learn. There's plenty of videos that will teach you and it's your responsibility to take care of the golf course. "But I don't have a divot tool" Use a tee. Every golfer has those. Or borrow one from someone in the group.

Unexpectedly Great Course

I had never golfed Fred Enke, 1 because it’s so far from my house and 2 because it’s not a course that I heard anyone talking about. We decided to snag a deal time here because several other courses were over seeding and I thought we’d give it a try. I am glad we did. This course was just so unexpectedly good and challenging for a city course. There are lots of doglegs and spilt fairways and tee boxes. So much good variation. I really fell in love with this course and the value is hard to beat. This was our second time golfing here. Liked it so much the first time, I had to come back before they closed. This course has a little bit of everything. Fun times.

East Summer Fun

Went out with a buddy at 11:32 am tee time and the Arizona summer heat is pretty brutal, but we had a great time. The course was great for the summer conditions. The tee boxes were kept up, greens were in good condition and it wasn’t busy. There were a couple par 5 holes but the mix of par 3 and 4 was great for our beginner skill set.

Nice day

Used a promo code I got from other bookings - killer deal. For a summer afternoon the temp wasn't too bad and there were only a few other players. Very nice day.

Do they want business?

Pay for my round with my dad on Father’s Day and got no direction of what to do as in getting a cart where the starter is at followed by someone yelling ,” do you need a cart if so it’s over there with the others “ in a sarcastic attitude. There is no signs that help you out at all….. the starter has one job and couldn’t even do that right by putting a simple scorecard on the cart and why does that matter so much ?! Because the course at every hole is just labeled with a number …. No yardage no par number and the cart could have been donated bc the seat was so torn and covered with duct tape … normally I don’t ever and I mean EVER write a review but this course and staff was probably the reason you never hear anyone say ,” hey you wanna play Fred enke? NO they don’t it’s Tucson az and summer time and can’t even put water jugs on the course granted they have a couple water fountains that deliver super warm water but good luck playing 18 holes comfortably…. Honestly don’t even know how or why it stays open…. Pretty depressing but all said my first time playing there in the 25 years of golfing and can say it’s the last. Thanks Fred enke for making something supposed to be fun literally worse playing experience I’ve had

Great time

The course was in great shape. They have done a very thorough job of cleaning up the course over the years, the way they have cleared up the desert in front of greens is definitely appreciated especially if you hit it short. This is the best public golf course in town.
