Much improved

The course is in much improved condition over every other summer I have played it. Grass is much more green and lush. Traps are better maintained and have new rakes in them. Greens were recently punched, but have been rolling very well prior to that. Best conditioned city course I have played this year.

nice layout

The course is really improving. The grass has never been greener and a lot of undergrowth has been removed. I also heard that they are transforming the old pro shop into a restaurant. Can't wait to see how the rest of the improvements unfold.

Enke in Excellent Shape!

Course was in great shape(greens and fairways)......as good or better than other city courses. Played the blue tees so the course was a bit challenging. My buddies think this is a tough course, but I love this desert course, Definately worth the money.

The course needs more water on the fairways, greens pretty ruff, greens not in good shape, no consistent speed. The car paths, the worse I have ridden on, I had kidney after the round.

Fred Enke is on its way back to becoming a great place to play. I've been playing there since I was 10 years old and it's in the best shape I've seen it in a very long time. The greens are so much better and the fairways were actually a little bit moist with grass. Not being over critical, it has been in such bad shape for the last couple of years, it was not worth the money. They are also clearing out some of the areas around the landing areas which will make it a little more forgiving. Go play it. It's a good course. Keep up the good work.

Solid layout

While this course is definitly a challenge, it's tee boxes, fairways, and overall condition are definitly the weakest point of what is a very challenging layout. If you have any length, play from the tips. You will have to cut a few too many corners if u don't.

Tough course - especially the first time you play it

Lots of blind shots which are very difficult until you know the course well. Also, most of the landing areas are not flat so you get lots of roll- good and bad. The course was in okay shape but the above made the round somewhat un-enjoyable.

Bad customer service

The lady at the front was extremely rude. I really expected a different experience at this course for our party of 4, I will not be returning ever again. She also had plenty of bad words to say about the golfnow app. I don't care about your opinion make it an enjoyable experience when you are representing your company.

Strong desert course

Course is in the best condition its been in the last 2-3 years. Of paticular note is that the bunkers were well prepared and had a sufficient amount of sand. The greens were good to excellent and the fairways were in fairly good condition as well, with a minimum of bare spots and only a few had standing water or overly wet areas. Whether to attribute this to the new management is questionable,; however, it does appear that shop employees are happy and there seems to be more attention to the course by maintenance personnel. Overall, a good experience!

Walked

Fred Enke first timer

Impressed. We played on extremely windy day, , Good pace for mid day Saturday. Greens were in good shape, not to many spots that needed repair. Better than average muni, requires local knowledge to score well as a first timer. Shot makers course that requires accuracy with long irons, hybrids and fairway woods to score. Not a bomb the driver and hack it out course. Looking forward to playing it again. Great walking workout.

Nice layout. A lot of target golf required. Greens were fast but did not "roll out" which made them excellent. Fairways need overseeded! Not plush.
Dont play it without someone who has the first time.

Great desert course

Enkephalins golf course is a limited fairway course, meaning it's mostly desert with target locations for landing your ball. Intimidation abounds as you look out from the Teebox over long expanses of desert. The emphasis here is on ball striking and if you can strike the ball well the course is very playable but woe to the golfer of many errant shots. Course condition is excellent and the greens are challenging without being overpowering. This course is a good test of golfers ability to strike the ball and keep it in play. I would recommend it to anybody looking for a good and enjoyable challenge to their game.
