Encanto 18

Nice course, centrally located, good pace of play, well kept course, fast greens, and excellent relatively flat layout. It’s not complicated and has a few 500+ yard holes. I thoroughly enjoyed playing it for my first time and as an intermediate player found the course interesting and challenging enough for me to want to play it again.

Good value

We were sent out as a twosome on a Tuesday around noon with a threesome in front of us (???) otherwise the course was full. The pace seemed a bit slow for us as a result. Course condition was very good and the staff were friendly and helpful. We totally enjoyed our round and will play there again.

Rough around the edges

First played Encanto around 1968 as a high schooler and it has changed a lot. I don't mind it being imperfect because of its meaning to me. Others might find the grens inconsistent and the fairways missing some grass to be a problem but I like the wide open fairways and the length from the back tees is something I can still hndle today. Always fun to play there.

not bad

Found the course layout boring almost every hole looks the same. Par 4’s are pretty long and not fair from playing from the forward tees for juniors or women
