The Encanto Nine Golf Course lies to the west of Encanto Park, and offers an executive-length golf course perfect for anyone who seeks a fast-and-loose round, with tee times passed out first-come-first-served. About an hour and a half is usually all it takes to play through the golf course.

The Encanto Nine Golf Course sits in the heart of Phoenix, and claims the honor of being the third-oldest golf course in Arizona and features a casual vibe, perhaps due in part to the foliage. Abundant natural palms line the golf course, and between them golfers can catch beautiful glimpses of downtown Phoenix. The course was designed by William P. Bell.

It was like playing the same hole 9x

Really disappointing experience other that the stafff was great, The holes were all the same and the course was not in the best shape, although the greens were fine. Every green was sloped front to back. It felt like playing the same hole 9 times over. Just a boring course.

A good 9 hole course.

My wife and I played on a Monday morning. The course was what we expected not difficult but good condition and fun.

Good place to go and brush up on your game or a good warm up for a golf weekend.

Solid 9

Course is in great condition, but very simple layout. Only one bunker on the course. Very solid for short game and great time to get a quick 9 in. Would play again before work in the morning!

Fun Nine

A very fun little 9 hole course in the center of the City.

Course gets a lot of play but the City still manages to keep the course in pretty good shape. An excellent value for a fun 9 holes of golf... a nice easy walking course.

Nice day, slow play

Beautiful day to play golf. Average budget course.

Pace of play was poor. The three groups ahead of us we’re as follows:

A group of 7, a group of 5 and a group of 5. What happened to four players in a group?
