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.

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?

Awesom

Played with my daughter and her friend. Daughter is a beginner and has improved immensely. Many other non judgmental golfers just looking for a distraction from the world right now. A great day for golf and mental health, thanks Encanto 9.
