A great challenge recovering nicely from City management neglect

Fairways are a little sparce and greens were variable from sparce to good. This is a really good, challenging desert course that is welll worth playing even tough it could be in a little better condition.

Wide open, nobody was in front or behind. Foursome took us 4 hours. Decent value for money with the other rates around town. Greens needed work.

It was wide open for a Sat morning; nobody was in front or behind us throughout our match. Foursome took us 4 hours. Decent value for money with the other rates around town. Greens needed some attention though. If your a Tucson resident or play the course often, make your thoughts known to the City Council who are trying to close it down.

Course was in pretty good shape considering the town council pending action to close the facility. Greens were a little spotty, overseeding would fix

Round was played in 2.5 hours. Payed $22.00 can't beat the value. Wide open. Greens were a bit spotty. Was surprised that the course was in pretty good shape due to the pending closure that the City wants to implement. With over seeding and some min care it would be in great shape. If your a Tucson resident, urge the council to keep open.

Needs work

Based on the cost per round, my expectations are ususally not very high at Fred Enke but I enjoy the layout. With the ongoing budget challenges and potential closure by the city of Tucson, the course continues to be neglected. Significant work needs to be done to get the course back to a moderate status and scoring is nearly impossible due to the poor conditions.

save your money

fairways were in awful shape, couldn't tell where the fairways ended and the rough started....save your money and play somewhere else. The gentleman in the pro shop was about as friendly as the cart girl....oh wait, never saw her! The golf now rate was a staggering $3 less than the rack rate, should've played somewhere else.

Challenging & could be a good course but condition was very poor.

Perhaps if true city of Tucson rather cater to "big money" for the G.C. property is what the grape vine mention was during my play than provide golf course amenity to residents of & visitors to Tucson! So sad for the many golfers in Tucson. Was said , that not the only city owned course that is slated for closure!

Challenging desert golf which demands a return visit to play it properly.

As with many courses this winter, the course has suffered from the cold weather, so although the fairways are pretty firm in places, you gain some distance with a great bounce! We played as a twosome and could have benefited from playing with someone who knew the course. We lost some shots because we didn't understand where we should be aiming. We also felt the course was narrow and demanded some accurate shots in order not to give up a ball to the brush. We were also surprised how hilly the course was on the front nine; pleasantly surprised. We are going to play again.

Okay

The course was in pretty bad condition, but I got my tee time for $20, so you can't beat the price. There were a ton of trees and it was a very challenging course. The course did not seem well maintained though and anytime you were off the fairway, you were probably going to get scraped by the trees. The greens were in TERRIBLE condition, very bouncy it was impossible to play the greens. Out of regulation looked like the shadowy area from lion king, I thought I was going to meet Scar.

Don't let this course go!

The course definitely needs help, but is a great layout and really didn't play that bad all things considered. Not sure that the info out there is 100% correct that the course is scheduled to close...sounds like the decision isn't set in stone. They definitely didn't over-seed and and though the greens are a bit bumpy, they play rather consisten and the bumps don't affect the lines that much. It is a decent course to work on your target game.

Would love to see them save this and the tourney on the 5th of April needs all your support. This could be a fantastic public course again.

This is a great course design...No bad holes!

This is probably one of the best designed courses in Tucson...It's too bad it is involved in politics...A little attention and this could again be a wonderful place to play...I hope it happens...We love the course!

course needs work

Fred Enke needs to remain open. Its the only city course with personality. The fairways were not great on this day and need attention. Greens also bumby at least most of them. Are they letting the course go? Lets get Fred Enke back to where it was and keep it open.
