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

Golf in the Desert

This course is as challenging as you would like to make it. Greens and fairways were in excellent shape after reseeding last month. Only criticism is that the views were so spectacular, I was pleasantly distracted!

A Great course

This is a course that i have played many times. It is probably in the best condition that I have ever seen . The course is very challenging with a different look to every hole. Most courses it seem,s have many look-alike holes, but not this course. You have water, crossings, desert and a variety of obstacles to contend with, I love to play this course.

Fred Enke in Good Shape

The course is in great shape after over seeding. An all around good value, at GolfNow discount prices. My only complaint is, the cart paths are horrible, lots of potholes, very rough.

Tough but fair

Need to think as you go around the course, but you can be rewarded for putting the ball in the right place. Best to stay on the fairways as the rough can disguise your ball to the point you may not find it! Greens are in great condition and offer interesting challenges. Overall, a good experience to play the course, just wish it were closer to my home.

Greatly improved

Hadn't played here in years due to terrible maintenance...now it is a beauty. An interesting track on rolling dunes with lots of elevation changes. Over seed done perfectly and fairways and greens outstanding.
Tees could use a laser level and trash cans on the back nine were overflowing. Overall great value and brisk pace of play. Good job OB Golf!

Wow. What a turnaround.

Fred Enke used to be my last resort option for golf, especially on the East side of Tucson. Had heard the course was under new management and saved from closure. I gave it a try yesterday and it was fantastic. This course is now on my regular rotation. Keep it up!! Beer cart came through regularly. Great day of golf.

Fairways and greens in great shape

The course has greatly improved, the fairways and greens were in excellent condition. The carts were much better, the cart party's had some improvements but could use more. Overall enjoyed our day and was impressed with the repairs.

Good layout

The course was being prepped for over seeding so some areas(tee boxes, sand traps, etc.) were not in good or prime condition. Play was light, no hold-ups. This was the first time we played this course under the new management.

A Pleasant surprise!

My wife and I have golfed at Enke numerous times. This was the best shape we have found it. It is evident that time and money has been invested to make Enke a must course to play for locals....and snowbirds. We shall return.....

Great Improvement

I have played Fred Enke several times in the past. Always an interesting course but not always good shape. New management at Tucson City courses have done a great job with this course. Fairways super--ball sits up on firm grass, greens good, traps OK, fringes very good, rough much better now with long grass rather than ugly hardpan where you can get a horrible lie or ball can bounce anywhere A super bargain for the $..
