Fred Enke Golf Course

The golf course staff has done great job in investing in course improvements. For a city golf course, it’s a great value.

Terrible course conditions. Greens were not good shape. Definitely needs improvement.

Used to play Fred Enke a lot back in the day, not much has changed except the nines have been reversed. Online apps and scorecards still don't reflect this although it has been quite a while since it changed. Number 1 is a par 4, number 2 is a par 5, etc. Number 18 (the old number 9) is a longish uphill par 4, the #1 handicap hole. For a Tucson City course the conditions were not too bad, the greens have a lot of slopes and they're kind of slow at the moment. I found a couple of sand traps today and the sand was actually quite soft allowing for a nice explosion. This course is somewhat target golf with various ravines and gullies that can gobble up a golf ball. If you're crooked off the tee you might lose a few balls. All in all a fun little course. I played the white tees and only hit a driver twice so placement is key. I can hit my 3W about 230-240 yds. The blues are about 6700 yards and would likely call for more drivers because on a lot of holes the blue tees are sometimes set back pretty far.

I've been playing the city courses for many years, and have watched this course undergo a major change over the last 6 or 7 years. Fred Enke has enough challenge for any handicap and still be very playable for most handicaps as well. If you want a true desert course experience without the hype and cost this course will impress you. The greens are surprisingly good and can be a true test when they're higher on the stimpmeter, weather permitting. The only drawback is, like most city courses, pace of play on the weekends can get slow. Great staff, friendly folks

This course is as tough as it gets, I had a great time playing this challenging course,

Slow pace! Definitely need course Marshalls to monitor pace !

Course in pretty good condition except for the greens which are being aerated. The new cart path is very nice. Was a little busier than I expected but still a good day

Only the front 9 is currently open. So pace of play becomes very slow when golfers make the turn and start their next 9.

Too close to the bus depot, the streets, the other holes. People were on our green trying to hit the ball to the hole next to us. Not very relaxing.

My opinion this is the hardest city course we have. Target golf to a tee. Really makes you think about shot location. Greens are rolling really nice. Partner said sand was nice (from what he’s used to). The group in front wouldn’t let us pass. They waited for greens to clear on par 4’s and gets mad cause he’s not on in one but 50 yards right about 220-250 max. Fun to watch though.
