Encanto Nine Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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 fun 9 hole course
Fun little 9 hole course if you want to squeeze in some golf. 20 bucks with phx card. Greens were fast but everything else was fine!
Very Enjoyable!
I was looking for a 9 hole course due to time availability. Read the reviews, the course met the requirements. It turned out that the reviews were on. Great staff. The course was in very good condition and nice layout. Would very much like to go back if time permits.
Our favorite short course in Phoenix
We always play Encanto 9 when we're in Phoenix for the winter. The staff is always friendly and the course is in great shape.
Encanto 9 👍👍
I've played this course many times and I keep coming back it's very nice and a great test for your irons. The staff that work there are very nice and helpful 👍👍👍👍👍. I will play there again.
Worth every penny
Worth every penny, because you’re not paying a lot. Short holes, only three par 4’s. No driving range, that’s over by the 18 hole course and it’s packed when it’s cool out. But Encanto 9 is a great way to spend a couple hours
Its a great course working on your irons.
Differently will play it again. Up keep is very nice. The staff are friendly.
Personally, my favorite course
Great for all skill levels, especially myself as a beginner. Open fairways, which makes it easy to not lose any of your shots. Couldn’t recommend it enough.
Great day
The course was in great shape. Greens were perfect. I will definitely play it again and tell my friends about it 😀😀
Slow pace and poor communication
We booked a 9-hole round through GolfNow, but unfortunately, our experience was disappointing from the start. When we arrived, the staff informed us that our tee time had been pushed back an hour due to a tournament — something no one had notified us about in advance. Since GolfNow bookings are prepaid and non-refundable, we had no choice but to leave and come back later.
Once we finally teed off, the pace of play was extremely slow. The group in front of us took a long time on every hole, and soon the golfers behind us were waiting as well. It really disrupted the flow of the round and made it difficult to enjoy the game.
The course itself was fine for a quick 9, but better communication and pace management would go a long way toward improving the overall experience.
Great for practice
This is a great little course for beginners or for practicing. There’s no water or bunkers to worry about and the conditions are surprisingly good for summer. It’s inexpensive and usually available. Staff have always been super helpful and pleasant. There’s no range or bar, but there is a small practice green.
First Round of 9
The course was great...a little soggy in spots, but easy to navigate. Staff was friendly and the pace of play was perfect.
