Beautiful Day
The course has a great layout and has challenging holes with bunkers and water getting in the way on occasion. Has quite a few dog-legs to make it interesting and a very good price for a Friday.
Last round of the week before flying home
Nice course. Challenging from the back tees with very long par 4s, fast greens and tough pin placements. Played with some friendly locals and enjoyed our afternoon.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Encanto Golf Course.
Old School but in great shape
Awesome greens! Wide open! Great for beginners.......love the older area of the city and the older style.......gotta break away from the typical desert courses once in a while.

Friendly
The day before, we booked three foursomes, as we were in town for a family event. Staff was totally accommodating, and helped us out with club rentals for those that did not have clubs.
Course was just what we needed.
Sand traps were packed hard, but it had rained.
Otherwise, we enjoyed our rounds!!
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.
Average municipal course
The best thing about the course was the greens. They were in great shape and good size. The course is FLAT with a few trees and a little water. Good course for beginners and those not worried about scenery.
A good day
The course is a little.rough around the edges. Greens and fairways were in good shape. The layout was a little boring but easy to navigate. The group behind us were a bit rude and complained about us playing slow but our foursome played in 3 hr 40 minutes.
Great day
A great day at one of Arizona's historic courses. Conditions were very good. Only suggestion would be to add more sand in the sand traps.
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.
good flat course
i like the staff very professional , alicia is great bought a drink that was flat i told her she immediately replaced it .
How about you comment on the course not the cafeteria?
Bill
Nice course. Flat and simple layout. Wide open, narrow fairways with a lot of light rough on each side. Looks more wide open than it is. Good value for the money.

Golfer
Nice course, wide open and in pretty good shape for how hot it was there. Rental clubs are just ok but usable for $25
Quick round at Encanto GC
I play here often due to its location, course conditions and the wonderful staff. The Club House team is always friendly , up beat and attentive. Played in just over three hours as there was only two of us and we moved along very quickly. The greens are true and roll nicely. Being a senior golfer, I find the last four holes on the back nine to be a bit long which is always a challenge for me. My only major compliant about this course are the sand traps. This course is owned by the City of Phoenix so I am sure there are budget issues involved when course improvements are made. But in my opinion the sand traps should have good sand in them. Again my opinion but instead of spending thousands of dollars on new paving for the parking lots the sand traps should have been addressed first; after all we do not play golf in the parking lot. Other then the sand trap for me I really enjoy playing golf at Encanto GC.

Encanto in july
A dry cow pasture need i say more
Bad course
The course was not in good shape at all. It may have been that the irrigation had exploded but who knows. There were puddles on the fringe, the greens were covered in sand, and there was no direction as to what hole to go to next. I understand it is summer time but I believe if a course is running they should have the course be playable. There was probably more damage done to the course because of how soggy the grass was.
Good Value
You can't go wrong with the central location. Great shade and layout. Very user friendly.
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.

Fun Time in the Sun
A nice golf course. Not really long and not any real "killer" holes, but a nice assortment of holes. Greens were very nice...fast and firm. Got to hit a lot of different shots. Round was very enjoyable cause I was paired with a wonderful gentlemen who played here a lot. Will come back just because it was fun!
