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.

Quick Hitter!!

I got some time Sunday Afternoon in the middle of summer. Wanted to get in a quick round since it was very hot at 2:30 pm. It was exactly what I wanted was in and out within an hour. I got my fix and was able to get back to the family in no time.

Fun 9 holes

In the Arizona heat, this is a fun fast 9 hole course, friendly staff, course was a bit muddier that I expected, but I guess you have to beat the heat somehow.

Definitely a place to go if you want an affordable but fun quick 9

Love This Course

I am an amateur-level golfer. This course is easy and fun. The staff is always very accommodating and friendly. When I am paired up with other golfers I invariably play with really nice guys which adds to my experience.

Nice for Short Game

First time playing this course. It’s open aside from Palm trees so definitely don’t be surprised at random balls that fall in your fairway. This course is pretty dry so balls run fast. Push carts are free and shop is stocked with basics

This is the FRIENDLIEST course I’ve seen for KIDS.

On my visit, everyone was polite and most were walking the course. More important, there were lots of kids. So everyone was allowing grace first the younger golfers.

Love the community here.

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
