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

ok

The course was getting ready for overseeing so the course was dry and hard. Greens were ok but speed was hard to read. The layout is pretty open with pretty much the same on each hole. Some long par 3s.

Great course for the money

Played Encanto yesterday and enjoyed the course. Very open and easy. Definitely a great starter course. For 50$ with a cart it was well worth playing. The greens and fairways were in good shape for the conditions. Not the most scenic or challenging course in AZ but still a great layout and fun.

Good value

If you a just looking to get out and play this course is fine. The layout is pretty basic but the price is very reasonable. If you are looking for a dessert style course this is not it in is located in downtown Phoenix but the views of the city are nice.
