Typical City Course
Course was reasonable for the price.......close to downtown Phoenix. Compact layout with fairways running side-by-side.......watch for balls from other directions!

Nice
Good day on the course, in a threesome and we had a quick round, no real waits. Greens were firm, fairways in descent shape, but the traps were terrible, rock hard.
Shot a good round!

Hot in Phoenix
The course was pretty well flat with the exceptions of the slightly elevated greens. Driving range was very expensive. $5.00 for 35 warm up balls. The overall playability of the course was very good. Pace of play seemed slow and we finished in 4:30 hrs. No Marshall or Players Assistant on the course to be found. No sand in bunkers either, rock hard.
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.
Good Round for the Price

Another Outstanding day in PHX./plenty of Encanto !
Got a very good deal at the last minute Monday just down the road at Encanto. G at the desk is always cordial & Max is quite an energetic SVC. guy outside there. Good greens that seem to roll out a couple of feet extra on the slopier complexes . Over seeded fairways are really nice/ mature with grass that the ball sits up well on. Good Time Folks , THANKS !

better than most course right now
surprisingly great shape and better than most course right now. the range and the nets in the middle of the front nine is a little eye sore, but good city course for the money.
Thanks so much for the review. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Encanto Golf Course.
Good pace of play - Friendly staff
Good course for the price. Played at a good pace but found the course "showing it's age".....bunkers need sand. Patches of brown throughout the course

Beautiful greens.
Feb 26, first time on the course. Fairways in good condition, greens were beautiful. Very good value thru Golf Now. 2 complaints: 1. Pace of play. Looks like they have 8-minute tee times which should be enough but we waited, at times with another group, on every hole until it finally started to spread out a bit around hole 13. Need a good ranger out there to keep it moving. 2. Crossing that busy road to reach the back was downright scary. We did not see any signs alerting traffic to golf cart crossing; might have been there but we were too focused on trying to get across safely to notice. There was no yielding to golf carts whatsoever.
Good course fairly priced
From the tips, course has several strong par-3s and par-4s, with the remaining holes more moderate. Busy day but found the pace of play quite reasonable. Good experience for a reasonable green fee.

Great shape would play again
The greens in great shape, fairways very good. Loved the view, downtown skyline with tall palm trees all over the place

Meh
Encanto is an old course, and shows its age and pedigree at this time of year. Fairways are thin and patchy, sand in the bunkers is too sparse, rough is all dead Bermuda. Even the driving range is chewed up, with no grass in many spots. But greens were fast and basically true. Pace of play was fine for the most part with foursomes ahead and behind.
Encanto
It was a fun day except for the delay, I haven't played this course in many years. I use to play it much more when I lived in Phoenix.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Encanto Golf Course!
Fast greens, long course
Greens are very fast, back 9 long and monotonous. Front 9 more interesting and a bit easier. Very well maintained and friendly. Nice park area. Not so good for women, especially back 9. I will try it again...maybe the par 3 is better for me. Husband did well...he's a much better golfer!
Good but slow
The greens run true and played nice - we enjoyed the course. Was a bit frustrating waiting on every hole of the front nine. On one par 3 one group was leaving, 2 groups waiting, while the 4th was coming up. Not sure if it was a bit of a frost delay or what but near 5 hour rounds are not good for golf. Must have been a jam up with 9 hole players because the back nine did play more normal - thanks to that! Always good to have a marshall keep an eye on pace of play.
