Encanto Golf Course

After booking & arriving we found out that no Power Carts on the course.......We were given a pull cart for FREE.....WE paid for a power cart.
It was an easy walk.
I would play it again
For the $10 hot deal

This course is adequate for a day of leisure golf. Old course, OK condition, $33 deal made it affordable. Holes are close together, so many "close calls" from other fairways. Pace of play was slow.

Great golf coarse, great weather, needs a marshal there to watch for players going very slow and blocking others.

Pace of play ridiculously slow, greens in very poor condition. Hole cuts jagged & scraggly. Won't play here again.

Fairways were thin and wet. Have to be right on the money with your irons. Greens were excellent....

Had never played this muni before, so we decided to check it out. It is a flat, open golf course, but with greens that are first class. Greens are in very good condition and very fast, beyond what you might expect at a public course. A few of the par 4's are 400 + yards from the white tees and really challenging. A nice golf experience and we'll play here again.

Came out of overseeding in really good shape! Greens were really rolling well - probably stimping around 9 1/2 - 10. Played in 3:40-

The course was good considering it was recently over seeded. The course is flat with reasonable width fairway and greens that are somewhat small but very fair. If you are looking for a fun round of golf at a very good price you can't beat Encanto GC.

Was in city and wanted to try a new place. Played alone but enjoyed day. The course was good, greens are true , but a bit slow. Fairways are wide open and not much trouble, at least on front nine. Minimal rough and easy to find ball. Good place to work on game on a nice day

Rained in the morning but it cleared up and ended up being a nice day except for the wind on the back nine!
Course played fine and the greens were pretty good...the cups were over due to be relocated but they were ok!

A flat and forgiving muni in central Phoenix. Really enjoyed the back-to-basics nature of the course. The greens were some of the best I've played regardless of price.

Great looking course now. Fairways and greens nearly perfect.

Course was in great shape, weather was perfect and sunk a winning putt on the last hole! How can you ask for more!

Encanto Golf Course is the best kept secret in the city. Course is well maintained, really great, great to work on your long drive and short game alike.

If you are an advanced golfer you can really rip and grip. Flat course. Watch the ball roll additional yards.

If you are a beginner, you'll enjoy. Hard to lose a ball on this course. As it has fairly wide fairways and no real hazard ruffs.

This course is a confidence builder. Really allows you to practice various parts of your game.

If you're a fan of being caught behind 75-year-old walkers and fairways that look like Beirut, Encanto is your course. For urban golf, a 9-iron from downtown, it's about what you'd expect: honking horns, rushing traffic and, uh, interesting patrons. All that would be fine if it was possible to finish a round in less than 5 hours. It isn't.

My observations are from the perspective of a Visitor who has only played Encanto once. However, if you want a course with 'trainer-wheels' this is it. It's a very good for practicing your swing mechanics without penalizing you excessively for errant shots. In fact, if you are planning on staying and playing a few rounds in the Phoenix area at different courses, it's a perfect course to warm-up on. Fairly wide-open fairways, almost all flat lies , minimal amount of trees, and average bunker layout.. We played from the White Tee Boxes which is recommended for players that average 200-220 yrds. on their drives (like me). Tee time was about 10:05am and it took about 3-hours to finish. Of course, it was the end of August with temperatures in the 100+ range. So, keeping a wet towel around your neck is also a good idea (drink PLENTY of water too). With drought-like conditions, the turf is not exactly lush & verdant making the greens a bit difficult to read/putt-on. The upside is that you get a little extra 'roll out' in the fairways on your drives (who doesn't like that?!). I imagine if I play it again in the winter-time, I might have a very different view of the turf conditions. Otherwise, it was a memorable experience since I shot my lowest score ever...an 80 (albeit a Par-70 course). Naturally, I'm lamenting missing ONE of those several putts that could have put me in the 70's-Club. Oh well, another reason for a return visit.

I was able to play comfortably. The fairways and greens were nicely maintained for this green fee.

I'll preface this by saying that I'm not the best golfer, but I've played more than a few courses so far this summer. The round I played today finally compelled me to set up an account on golf now, and the reason why is simple: The Greens at Encanto. They are fast (in a good way) and puts roll true. Of the dozen courses I have played so far this summer, these greens were by far the best. The tee boxes were fine, and the fairways were more than adequate, especially for this time of year. Water from all the fountains was EXTREMELY cold, another must for a phoenix summer. I rode as a single in the late afternoon and finished 18 holes in exactly two hours. The course was basically empty...
Though the course is flat and relatively short, my advice is to play this course now because these greens really are the best around. Beginners can enjoy a pleasant round on an easy course and scratch players can really go after those wonderful putting surfaces!

Encanto is a decent municipal course for Phoenix. The fairways were green and the sand was soft. Overall its what you'd expect for a city course.

I've been a Phoenix resident for just about 4 years and this was the first time I had played this course,. It was exactly what I was hoping it would be. It's extremely flat with hard fairways and average paced greens, the typical ego booster course. I would recommend this place to anyone from a beginner to a scratch player. great track, great food and great people.
