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.

Warm

The course was in good shape bring that its been kind of hot a few days. There are some faurways starting to show signs of transitions struggle with the temperature but not bad. The one thing l will say is get your drinks when you can from cart girls because thd line to wait in snack shop is to long so be patient.

It dud cause an issue with our group and the group in front having to wait to tee off on number 10 because one of there guys was waiting fir his lunch and only one person making food and dealing with counter.

Nothing special

Lazy staff, not very friendly. Course is mostly flat. The front 9 was a little tougher than the back; or maybe I was just thirsty. No drink cart needed on a hot day apparently, go figure.
