Long Time Admirer
I used to play Encanto 40 years ago and loved it then. The upkeep over the years is remarkable. The green are consistent and good. The fairways are in excellent shape and the rough is very playable and fair and difficult to lose your bsll.
Stop over selling the course....
My tee time was 2:30, it gets dark at 6. As I was attempting to pay, they were still accepting walk-ons. They told the single who was with our threesome that there was no way we would get through 18 so they allowed him to just pay for 9. However they still have tee times for 18 out to 3:30 pm. The group in front of us was a 5 some. They had no ranger or starter keeping an eye on the course or pace of play. They have 8 minutes between tee times. Some holes had 2 groups on the tee box, 1 group on the green and a group waiting to hit on. It was ridiculous.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!

Great way to spend the day
Staff was very friendly and made us feel welcomed. Layout is a little long for a city course. 400+ yards is too long for par 4s. Par 3s are long too. Fairways were thin on grass. Green were great. True and consistent. Cart person was easy to be found. Friendly and hard working. I will be back but please work on keeping the pace of play in your thoughts
Hello, kflynn2. Thank you for visiting us at Encanto Golf Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Nice simple course
Wide fairways, no bush , no lost balls …all means pace of play was good…3.5 hours to play. Greens were bumpy but had been over seeded recently.

Great Track
Pace of play was under 4 hrs and it was packed. Nice layout with some tough holes and fast greens. Played as a single and paired with a great group of other players. Really enjoyable day. Great muni course that I would definately play again.

Great Course
Course was great. Nice visuals throughout course. In a nice neighbourhood, scenic backdrop of city skyscrapers, palm trees and water features. Has driving range, restaurant and proshop. Course is flat and walkable. Greens for me were a little tricky. A little faster than average, and has undulations but putts didnt really break that much on that day. THere are a few holes that have doglegs. My only concern was there were a few holes which had tee boxes were located closely behind greens so someone playing behind you could hit into your group if they over hit the green. Par 3 seemed to be a little long for people who golf the forward tees.....about 150yd.. Enjoyed playing this course.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Dshabby. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. Encanto Golf Course thanks you!

loveEncanto
Always love playing this course. Its just great what the city has done to make it a jewel in the phx public courses.
20Azredrocket, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Encanto Golf Course.
Wide Open
Got paired up with some seasoned players. Although neither of us were birdie machines, we still had a good time. The tips weren't too far back at 6400, the greens were FAST, and it was hard to lose a ball.
Being from Arkansas the humidity definitely changes how the ball flies here in Arizona. Thats just an adjustment on my end. More than one round, I could possibly adjust faster.
All and all good price and conditions for a Muni course.

Always my favorite city course
I’m always so impressed by Encanto for the value you get. The course is always in good shape, especially for the end of summer time. And everyone is so friendly there too. Pace of play was great, about a 3.5 hour round on a Saturday is great, will certainly play again!
