Fred Enke Golf Course

dISAPOINTTED AT CONDITION YOU COULD TELL THE CITY DID NOT CARE TO TRY TO FIX FAIRWAYS OR CART PATHS THE GREENS WERE GOOD BUT THE REST WAS SAD TO SEE THAT THE CITY DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THIS COURSE. IT IS A CHALLANGE BUT CARE HURTS ANY HOPE.

For all of the local Tucson golfers one of our favorites. A real shame the city council and Mayor have proposed closing this course soon. Please support this golf couse and it is possible we can save it.

This Tucson City corse has a challenging layout with plenty of risk. The fairways ere very dry in mid November, detracting from playability. Greens are true, quick and in good shape. Our group was never held up, but we played slow as we were off the fairway frequently. The trails are in very rough shape as are the golf carts.

I really like the couse, and hope the city adds water, improves the trails and upgrades the carts. This could be a fantastic couse.

Played here while visiting the folks living in Tucson. Enke course was a challenging layout from white tees. Shortish, with a lot of blind shots and tee shots that one needs to know where to land for optimal angle to the green. Not in pristine condition relative to the other selections in Tucson but for $20 riding (thanks golf now) it was nice. If I was living in this area I would probably play here often rather than shell out the big bucks for the other courses. Greens were a little bumpy sorta like bent grass in Michigan a week after being aerated and top dressed .

I really like this course. More difficult than the rest of th city courses. Played as a twosome first thing in the morning.

This course challenges you in so many ways. Doglegs and desert conditions provide risk reward situations. Always enjoy playing here.

Front side greens were excellent and rolled really nice. The back side was a little choppy but they are in the middle of a re-seed. Got done in under 4 hours.

used to be a great course in good shape now is in terrible shape and doesn't plan to improve..

I live near Fred Enke and use the driving range and chipping area/putting green often (2x week). The course has so much potential but is mis managed. We played Sunday afternoon around 1230 and the pace of play was fine. However, the tee boxes and front nine fairways weren't cut for the weekend and were 4-5 days uncut. The greens were fine. The back nine tees and fairways seemed that they were mowed more recently. Back nine greens were fine. The management doesn't seem to understand that their product needs to be competitive, especially on the weekend, and they have to mow and rake the traps. Cart paths are a disaster. Sad. Will play elsewhere...

I've only played Fred Enke three times and I played this last time because I read it was to close. My wife and I both enjoyed the play and the wilderness setting. We will be playing it more often and I would recommend it to any level golfer.
Too bad it's closing, but that's politics isn't it?

Please do all you can to save Enke. It's unique and all we have on this side of town.

you have to hit the ball, you can't pansy it definitly a challenge makes you play golf

Many of the fairways handn't been mowed in a long time, making them longer than many roughs. In fact, it was difficult finding the ball in the middle of some fairways. Guess the course is doomed to be a meandering park, but no reason to keep the mower in the shed

Rough in some areas just off the fairways, needs to be mowed. Shouldn't lose a ball like that . The cart paths are terrible. Like competing in a rodeo. The course is very challenging and fun to play. Target golf. Greens are good. It's a city course that confirms the city is broke but can afford to water, unlike many other local courses that can't afford the water. Only going to overseed the greens this year.

While the course was playable, the golf carts should be taken out and junked. Not only were they in bad repair, they were dangerous due to bad breaks and steering,.

The golf paths were also in bad repair and in some cases due to erosion, dangerous. There was also a lack of signage, to get from green to T. For regulars this was not much of an issue, but for guests, it was a pain.

The low cost to play, will not bring me back.

Much better shape than last time.Greens very good,not enough staff starter getting carts.

You should be rewarded w/a drive that hits the fairway but not so much at Enke. Downhill lies coupled w/dead or no grass, or crabgrass that is unkept is to be expected. Pace of play was very slow, the carts are on their last leg & facilities are antiquated.
The problem is not course mgmt as much as Tucson Muni biting off more than they can chew w/the amount of courses they fund. Tucson should focus on a few muni GCs to make them great & let a couple go.

Course in frightful condition, cart paths made it loike a 4-wheeling experience. Actually lost balls hit down middle of fairway. Would not play this course again.

I thought the course was in good shape. The greens were
average, but in fairly good shape.

deep first cut of rough makes tracking errant shots challenging. good course for different types of shots.
