Fred Enke Golf Course

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.

It is a lot of fun if you can stay in the fairway. The terrain is hilly and picturesque. The cart paths are in terrible shape. I walk the course, but it is an effort. The back nine is easier than the front.

Overall the course is very scenic for a city course. Most of the fairways are not wide open. It requires some planing and execution to score well otherwise you will lose your balls out in the desert.. Bring a lot of extra balls if you are an occasional golfer.

The course condition is average. Tee boxes are not well maintained, but the greens are always in good shape. I will not pay the full price that the city charges. Stick with Golfnow deals.

Great course to test ALL golf skills. Bring plenty of golf balls!

This is a typical desert municipal course. Conditions aren't the greatest in the world but the layout is decent enough to keep you interested. Inconsistency in the condition of the traps. Bring a lot of ammo if you spray the ball around. Don't go looking for lost balls during the summer months as snakes can be an issue.

Considering the time of year and comparing other courses under the over seeding processes this was a very good round. The fairways and greens are in good shape and ready for the winter over seeding. However, but knowing, the financial condition of the City courses I still must say the cart paths need immediate attention!

I play it 2 times a month because its close. I would play it more but I like to move around.

The Fred Enke golf course is not the longest city golf facility, but it certainly provides the most challenge. Every golf hole is unique with its own personality. Many of the tee shots are blind and the player is forced to be precise with the position of their ball in the fairway. In addition, the rough is a little bit longer than other city golf courses and every fairway is surrounded by desert. The scenery is spectacular and there are no urban views or noise distractions. I rarely play my best on this course but I love the challange.

I really enough playing this course because of its challenges. There are not really any cart paths so it get a bit bumpy so hold onto you beer, but worth it. The last time I played it was a little slow and backed up at every tee box, but normally pace of play is very good.

This is a great course to play when you know the yardage of your clubs and you play with in your capabilties. The more you force a shot the more trouble you can get into. Great place to play with Freinds.
