Dry weather taking its toll

Fred Enke is my favorite of the budget courses in tucson. 3 months ago, it was looking the best I’ve ever seen it, recently the heat has started to do what the AZ heat does. Course is beginning to dry out a bit and the conditions are declining. Still very playable but conditions are at 6/10 compared to 9/10 just a few months ago. Still a great value for the price. Most interesting layout of any city course.

First time playing, disappointed.

Cart paths were rough and uneven. Restrooms on the course were very dirty. No marshals. Pace of play was very slow for a Monday. Definitely not worth the fee. It could be a great course if they had the staff to take care of it. Great layout, nice starter, lots of interesting wildlife. Wish they could improve it.

Great city owned course

Great friendly staff, Starter gave me some tips and info since it was my first time there.

Greens and tee boxes are in good shape, a couple of tee boxes were hard in places. Bunkers pretty hard but no different than most other courses in southern Az.. Some challenging holes. Nice city owned course.

Some of the gravel part of the cart paths are pretty bumpy. Beverage cart was around 3 times during round.

Only issue is on the back 9 caught up to a single golfer on the course with spouse and 2 young sons in 2 carts. Around the 13th hole the adults got into one cart and started drinking while the 7 or 8 yr old (est.) was driving the other smaller child in the other cart. They almost drove over the green on 16. One adult finally start driving the other cart when they got to 17 (ie close to the clubhouse). A Marshall on course could have stopped this but none out on a Monday afternoon. Otherwise good experience and Ill be back

While the course and staff are always awesome the food service is extremely poor. Ordered a dog on 9 and when I picked it up it was not even cooked. Just a little charred on the outside and cold on the inside. Super disappointing.

Nice clean fun course

They need signs to point to which direction the next hole is. There’s a ton of places to get lost/off track at. One group a head of us spent a long time trying to find a hole. Nice course though well taken care or
