Always a great time at Encanto

Encanto was in great shape. Greens were solid and the staff is always very personable. No complaints. Always a great bang for your buck. Great for beginner golfers because the fairways are wide open. We will be back.

Hot summer fun !

I really appreciate the effort the grounds crew does keeping the course in tip top shape during the hot summer months.

Only wish some players would have a little respect for the game and rake sand traps after their shots...,.

Clubhouse staff is always friendly courteous and professional thanks guys

Worth $30 or less.

Most water fountains do not work and no water stations anywhere. Also goose crap on all greens. Good course for less than $30 with cart, but need better up keep for a higher price.

For July course and greens are pure

Encanto is always consistent in being pretty pure. Even the heat the greens were pretty dang good. A tad slow but I played 7/11. Could be quicker now. Course is alittle dry is some areas but no hard pan. Still pretty decent fairways tee box’s etc. might be punching soon always look ahead

Encanto 18 is In great condition

Surprisingly, after all this early summer heat, the course is in great shape. Greens are sanded and smooth, fairway was aerated and had grass (very little hardpan), and we played 18 in 3:20.
