Fred Enke Golf Course

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.

The fIrways ate as short as the greens. Thegreens were nice, but the fairways and rough were the same length. Nothing on the sides of the fairways to distinguish the rough. Ball would roll off the fairways and into the brush because there was no difference. Bunkers are full of rocks, before you putt, you have to clean a path to the hole of rocks. The cart paths are really rough where there is no concrete. Very rough. NO water stations on the course, it was really hot and no water except off the expensive beverage cart. The biggest problem and I think a lot of people would agree is the fact you cannot take your cart to the parking lot.

City courses don't seem to be watering this year, so far. Might need to start in June if they bother over seeding.

Bunkers are wildly inconsistent. Cost me a birdie at 9. Turned into a double b.

Someone seems to have thought it was a good idea to dump sand around the course? Could use some in the bunkers. Or at least work the bunkers so you can get under the ball with your sand wedge. Or have a local rule that players can pick up ball in bunker, rake some sand into place, and replace ball. Covid seems to have infected the bunkers at many courses the past few years, tho.

Fun course. Interesting layout. Good fairways and greens. Good value for March in Arizona.

Course is in good shape. Getting warmer now and wish they would have a beverage cart out on the course. Enjoy this course!!

It was in good condition and was pretty fun, I’ll definitely be coming back.

4.75 hours ( seemed slower). Conditions decent, greens fast / firm. No ranger, but didn’t matter, most likely just too many players on too few holes.

There are better experiences out there for just a few extra dollars. Drink cart gone at 3:00, bar open till 4:00 (I believe) back nine took an eternity.

Course is in Good Shape. Only problem was the golf cart. No matter how you start out , hitting the gas, it would just jump big time. On gravel the tires would actually spin. Will return and play again!

Overall all the course is in great shape. A few Tee boxes and bunkers need some reworking, but I would definitely play here again especially in the early morning.

All the staff is extremely friendly

Course in great shape. Greens are very fast.
