Beautiful day with a nice playing partner added to our group.

We enjoy Encanto because it is so open and allows us to shake off some of the winter rusty ness as migrating snow birds.

Good condition for a long coursr

Course ( fairways and greens)! was in very good condition. It has minimal trouble but was long. It was about 4 hr 15 minute round and course was full. It is a no frills municipal course near downtown Phoenix. Staff was pleasant and efficient. I played with my husband and we would play again.

3rd oldest course in Arizona, opened in 1936 and still a great track’. They just had a heavy rain so I walked it pulling my bag. Tees were well groomed, fairways were tight and surprisingly fast. The greens were excellent, definitely not slow and depending on the pin location, sneaky fast! $49 bucks, heck of s deal!
