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.

Good condition, fast 9-hole

The course was in great shape. It plays quickly, which is great if you are just trying to get in 9 holes.

Solid Course

This course is a great little get away to practice your iron / wedges. It’s VERY short so no need for the full bag. It’s walkable and you won’t get tired. But $30 to play 1100 yards just isn’t right. It should be cheaper due to just that, but the greens rolled true and were challenging, the only straight putt you’ll have is below the hole! Good luck

Nice Par 30 Course

My wife and I are in town for a couple months and played this course for the first time. Greens were in great shape. They were tough, but fair. We were paired with another couple, and enjoyed a nice round together. Reggie at the front desk was also very friendly and helpful. We'll definitely go back to play it again!

Not bad for the price

Greens and fairways were in great conditions. The tee boxes were over watered which made for very muddy conditions. Overall for the price and time of year not a bad price and value.

Very nice short course, friendly staff

We always try to play at least one round here when we're in the Phoenix area. We also like the Encanto 18 hole course.

Nice little course.

First time playing I had a nice time. Didn't lose a ball since they are lined up next to one another.
