good beginner and practice

Just because it is a muni course, doesn't mean you can respect it a little.

To the group in front of me

FIX your divots, don't throw the flag and pick up after you reach triple bogey

Love this Course. I can get through in about 2 and half hours as a single when it's not busy and a great place to have some fun and relax.

Almost like my home Course (if I played a lot).

HAZARDOUS SAND TRAP RAKES

At first I just thought it was all the golfers who are used to playing golf on the simulators that never raked the sand traps after they hit out of them, until I realized that was not the issue the issue is the old Sun rotted fiberglass rakes as soon as you grab one with your hand you get a handful of fiberglass splinters I will never rake the sand traps again either until they get safe equipment

Summertime treat

I have played Encanto several times during the summer over the years and must say it is always in good shape compared to many courses in the Valley..

So many of the other courses are still transitioning out of winter grass. Encanto’s Bermuda is growing strong now

Just a heads up. The practice green is being reconstructed and the Par 3 5th green and traps are being reconstructed. There is a temp green on that hole

Greens are rolling about 10 but are true. Pace of play is always good.

Great course for newer players

This course is awesome for newer players. Played it today and it was a really easy course to play. The course is in great condition for the summer as well. Really wide fairways, you have to really be trying to lose balls on this course. Lot of nice long holes for those who enjoy hitting their driver a lot.

One hole has the entire green under construction so the hole is in the middle of the fairway. It’s quite strange but it’s okay all things considered.

Only downside of the course is that there are a couple times where it’s unclear where the next hole is. Could have better directions in that regard. It’s a lot of guessing and hoping you’re correct.
