Fred Enke Golf Course

Course is in decent shape, teed off early afternoon so the pace of play was good. The staff is very friendly however the clubhouse closes early weekdays.

They’re starting to lose the greens for the summer

I have been coming to Tucson to play golf for many years now. I have play most of the resort courses in the area and I would say the layout of Fred Enke is right up there with most of them. Several forced carries, scenic Mountain View’s, trouble left and right, ample fairways and nice greens. It was late May so the course was not very green but I bet it is beautiful in the Winter and Spring. I will definitely come back to Fred Enke.

Course reminded me of the condition it was in 5-6 years ago. Dry and bare fairways. Love the layout and variety, but won’t play again until the fairways are in better shape.

Having played the course many times before and enjoying myself, i was a little disappointed and frustrated when the pace of play slowed to that of a snail or slug on the back nine. After an hour and twenty minutes and four holes completed I could not take it any more and drove to the clubhouse. There were two gaps of over a hole between groups which to me was evidence of inexperienced golfers being in over their heads and not knowing that the number one rule in golf is to keep up with the group in front of you. It is not the fault of the course but rather the idea on behalf of some new golfers that if it takes ten or twelve strokes to play a hole, then I paid my money, I'll take that many shots and get my money's worth. Also the idea that I paid money for that golf ball, I'm going to search until I find it no matter how long it takes needs to become a thing of the past.. When played in less than four hours, it is a wonderful course and a true challenge.

First time playing this course. The conditions are ok and the cart paths are almost non-existent. A little more water would help a lot. I will play again since I live close by but there are other places to play that provide better experiences for the same rate.

It was so slow had to wait 5 to 10 mins between shots . They need Marshall to move it along , some poeple playing two balls.

The staff were fantastic. Welcoming to myself and my two young sons on what could’ve been an afternoon of anxiety as they are beginners turned out to be a wonderful day and memory of our stay.
