A good warm up round
Played with my wife and we were matched with a local player who plays all of the munis in Phoenix. A wide open track with little trouble.
For my first round after a long Winter layoff, the course was very enjoyable. Greens rolled true. I will bring some friends back there this month
Your basic public course
Very basic course all the holes are pretty wide open the greens were in excellent shape fairways not so much.
Houston Visitor
Perfect Weather! Paired up with 3 nice guys and had a great day at the course before flying back to Houston. Course was crowded but the pace was smooth. Everyone was friendly and the food was good! Nice public course!
Slow pace of play, no parking
For the first time in my life, I walked off of a golf course without completing it.
First off, showed up and drove around for 15 minutes to find a parking spot due to an event next door at the park.
Once we made to the tee-time (on time) I have never experienced this slow of a pace in my life. We pulled up to the 3rd tee and there were 3 groups waiting to tee off. By the time we were ready to tee off ourselves, we were now 56 minutes into the round.
The pace, by no means, would ever be acceptable. We turned around and went home.
We had played there before (9 holes walking), but will never be back again.
Good value
Good value for the money and views of downtown Phoenix
Good experience
the course was in good shape and very enjoyable to play. it was busy but the pace was acceptable.
Old Reliable
Course is in very solid condition right now, a definite bargain for the average to middling golfer who like a little distance, testing greens but not too much trouble from tee to green.
Love The neighborhood
We waited on almost every hole to tee off. We still finished in 4 hours.
Encanto GC
Encanto is in good condition. no cmplaints other than pace of play at times, mostly around par 3's.
Sometimes 2 groups waiting for the 1st group to tee off. Don't see the cart lady much, maybe twice if your lucky while playing 18 holes. rate of play was/is 4 1/2-5 hrs.
Nice city course
Looked around to find a course with good reviews at a value price and found it here. Played on a holiday so expected slow play and it was, 5 hour round, teed off at 1:15 and finished as the sun went down at 6:15. My son and I got paired up with a wonderful couple from Calgary and we had a great time with them. Course condition was very nice, fairways were thick and green, medium pace greens which rolled pretty good. We will play this course again.
For a city course it's beautiful.
Overall course was great. Play a little slow during the front nine so I decided to not play the back nine but play the front again and there was no waiting finished 18 holes in 3 hours.
Great Condition
Course is in great shapeand played in just under 4 hrs. Great course for the average golfer.
Encanto 18
Have played Encanto many times over the years that I have been coming to Phoenix for work and now play. Always been easy to get on and the twilight rates keep me coming back.
A great old course
Four of us played on a nice day in February. We had a great time and shot well. A nice course and did not lose a ball. Fast greens.
A great city course
The course was in excellent condition. The greens & fairways were superb. A great course to play for any skill level. One of the best deals around for this time of year.
This course is a gem.
The length and strategically place bunkers and large trees make this course a little more challenging than it appears. The greens are in wonderful shape!
greens are true
not bad haven't played here in years pleasantly surprised
Very Friendly
The title applies to both the staff and the course.
Some of the best overall conditions I have experienced in moderately priced courses. The greens sctually have a good amount of real grass.
Generous fairways for those that tend to spray the ball.
Some very challenging par 4's over 400 yards from the White tees.
Even though a good distance from the West Valley, definitely a keeper.ood and beverages but selection was wide and pricing reasonable.
Did not have an opportunity to experience the f
Encanto Golf Phoenix e
Everything was ok, little slow pace of play but that was fine on a picture perfect day, liked all the tall palm trees, It is interesting to play these older courses built by cities mostly before WWII. Encanto is a true piece of Phoenix golf history!
Plain flat
The course is busy, not too expensive down town, a municipal course so neighbours walk their dogs on the course, I was told kids sometimes play soccer on the course and on the 1st hole beside the water people have had a picnic. The pro shop said they can't do anything about it : the city allows this to go on. There is a park right next to it but people still insist on using the golf course instead of the park. The city of Phoenix must correct this problem.
