Fred Enke Golf Course

The course was in very good shape with all of the rain . The greens were slow and a little bumpy. It was nice to see a city course in that good of condition.

Course is in great shape., no one was out there, we were able to play quick, the greens were excellent, had a great time

intermediate rough to long. Lost balls in high grass just a few feet off fairway

Fred Enke golf course is maintained to the highest degree of any city golf course in Tucson, and they do it with a minimum of staff and have for a long time. The fairways are beautiful the greens are smooth and fast and the course is trimmed to perfection, that is why I play this course more than any other city golf course in Tucson.

course was in great shape, fairways and greens in good shape

The course is not one of the better Tucson city courses. The staff were great and the course wasn't in the best of conditions. It looked like the maintenance crews were working on limited budgets and had to skimp in areas. Kudos to the staff if this is true.

Carts were old an in need of replacement/repair. Mapping of course was poorly marked.

Nicest condition for Tucson city courses. Course has gotten a bad reputation for condition all untrue at this time. Would play instead of the city's Randolph complex

It's in really good shape right now. It's a good corse to learn on. Take lots of water it's super hot.

This is a local Muni corse with a "target" layout. Had to leave after 9 which took 3 hours! Ranger was non existent. VERY slow play due to many foursomes on a course that is a ball hunters paradise. No forgiveness as the rough is hard desert brush but if you play sensibly and control minded it's quite a fun challenge. Not a long ball hitters course and when you watch a group doing repeated power slices on tee boxes it's a nightmare long game.
Where have all the rangers gone. So much for pace of play month.

Course in good shape. Play early as it only took 2.5 hours to play 18.

course is brutal and challenging, played it a few times and getting better. lots of desert which means lost balls, course is in in great condition for a city course. this is a course that makes you think a lot about your next shot. great value for the buck

The course is moderately challenging, especially on the holes where you can't see the green. Enjoyable time, nonetheless. I would golf there again easy.

It's not in pristine shape for sure, but for the price, it's a decent round of golf and a good challenge.

Hadn't played Enke in about 15 years. Used to play this course with my Dad back when I had my junior card(age 9-13) so I knew this course very well. Heard they were losing it due to funding so wasn't expecting much. Tee boxes needed trimming, dead spots in the fairways and fairly bumpy greens. A few holes the grass was great, freshly grown. Really can't complain since I only paid $13 for a morning tee time with cart. Very challenging from the tips. Couple blind corners which I seemed to have forgotten. All in all I would pay $20 every time to come play this course.

I read the past reviews of Enke's demise and waited to see if the course would survive with all of its financial issues. It did survive, and the community has helped a great deal. The course is coming back well from aeration and although the day I played the greens were fuzzy they were probably just letting them grow a bit before mowing again. there was grass everywhere there should be. It's target/desert golf so if you aren't hitting it well tee to green you will see your score balloon with penalty strokes. In a couple more weeks Enke will be a great looking course in the city's stable. Recommended!
ps. I played in under 4 hours with a pre-7am tee time.

This is my favorite of the Tucson City courses. Challenging play and stunning views of the mountains. I grew up playing this course, so I am partial and biased, but you'll be hard pressed to beat a day at Fred Enke. The course will test your ability, imagination and resolve, all while giving you a guaranteed opportunity to see desert wildlife. The practice facilities alone are worth the visit, especially if you need to work on your short game. Bring your binoculars, every club in your arsenal, an imaginative game plan and some extra balls (the desert brush isn't the easiest to retrieve from). The course is beginning to return to its former glory, thanks to a strong community effort to keep it open, and is well worth your time. Of course, "a bad day of golf..."

This course has some blind shots and beware of hitting through the fairway when maybe you should cut that drive a little more. Excellent price through Golfnow!

Fun course, friendly staff and there is even a resident bobcat! Great course for all levels.

This course was in good shape, a little dry and the greens had been sanded (which did not help in putting) but with that said the overall condition was good and playable, as this is a desert course it is always challenging.

Very playable; but, if you spray your shots, bring extra balls.
