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.

Saturday in the city

This is a nice course in central Phoenix near the fair grounds. The course is well kept and offeres a putting green to practice but no driving range. Great price and a nice way to start the day.

The best course for beginners

I took my girlfriend here to play 9 holes. It is absolutely the perfect place for true beginners. Wide open, no traps or water and a very casual atmosphere. There are three short par 4's where I hit my driver and several par 3's in the 175 yard range. The remaining par 3's are wedges/9 irons. Perfect place for beginners and a low handicapper will have fun, too.

Superb Value

This course is a lot of fun to play, especially if you are a hack like me. There were very few people on the course, so I played very comfortably with no pressure to hurry. Eight dollars included a cart: awesome deal!

Good for 9

Good course for 9 holes of walking. Kind of slow playing. I wanted to hook up with others but they preferred to play alone slow the pace was slow and had to wait on every shot. No matter though. I had a good time and got in some good practice.

Good course for what it is - an Executive 9.

Played a quick nine for the afternoon. This course won't be hosting any PGA tournaments, but it's a great executive nine.

Good bang for your buck!

Greens were in great condition. Slightly fast. The rest of the course wasn't pristine, but definitely playable. Great course if you are looking to save money, or practice your game.

Good for beginners

Good variety, no water only one sand bunker.While it was sloppy due to rain two days before, it provided a good course for a nice walking round.
