Loved Fred Enke

This was our second round at Fred Enke, playing just nine holes two years ago.

What a great course and layout. Easily walkable, no houses crowding the fairways, with some distant traffic noise.

We felt the greens were challenging and in great shape. We loved the desert landscape and the birdlife and wildlife that comes right along with it.

The pro shop staff were top notch as was the starter. Why wouldn't you golf here? We are looking at our schedule to get back.

A desert course.

You do not have to be a long hitter to score well on this course, but you do need to be accurate. There are several holes that you need to tee off with something other than your driver so it really helps to be paired with someone with course knowledge.
The course is in excellent condition and the greens are larger than most of the courses in the area.

No two holes alike

Really fun layout. Fairways firm and fast. Greens in very good condition also firm. The course and facilities have undergone a wonderful transformation. Fairways are dormant Bermuda and it is difficult to get a bad lie. This is a hidden jewel.

Excellent Greens; glue down your dentures

The greens were very good as well as the tee boxes. However, the cart paths were only suggestions as to where they would put cart paths if they were to have them - very, very rough. The fairways were similar to what we have in Texas in the muni courses. The fairways could be better marked as we had a tough time knowing which direction to hit our balls. The fairways looked like the rough on some holes.
I would like to see the course when the weather had allowed it to flourish.

Get ready for 4 weeling!!!!

They have new golf carts. (Gas, takes a few seconds before the move.) Cart paths (if you can call it a cart path, more like a 4 wheeling path.) fair ways are dead grass. Greens are in good shape. The course is a good challenge for the average golfer. It would be a high level course if they would fix the above.

Average Muni Course

In my opinion an average city course with several well designed and challenging holes. Several very narrow fairways to avoid unplayable desert rough. Greens and tees fairly green but fairways not. But it is the middle of winter.

Not Good Experience

We arrived on a very busy day. had trouble finding the course. were accommodated because of 20 minute delay. starters were confused as to who we were playing with. we were a twosome. put us with 2 nice guys but it took us 3 hrs and 20 minutes to play 9 holes. we paid for 18 but quit after 9. course not in good shape. a frustrating day! will not go back!

Fred Enke a desert municipal course

Greens and tee boxes are overseeded this winter. The sand traps have been well reworked around the greens. The course is a challenge in that your shots need to be accurate or the desert shrubs will 'eat' your ball. Fairways are somewhat scruffy due to lack of winter overseeding at this time (December)

Course turnaround...new carts make a difference. Greens in excellent shape and although fairways are winter brown they have kept them soft. Great value and great pace.

A better Enke

Played 18 holes on11/20/14 and found the course to be in good shape and enjoyable to play. Fairways were in very good condition I thought and the greens ran true and fairly fast. Overall I would definately play this course again.

Hard to find

Fred enke course was in good condition except car path which are non existing and bumpy on all the path. Course fairways and green were in good shape. The course has some very easy holes where you can score well. Not bad for a city course
