Rating 28.5

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.

Too many people per group

They allowed six people to a foursome. This made play very slow.

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!
