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.

Well Kept

We enjoyed our round at Encanto 9. Laid back atmosphere. Tees/Fairways/Greens were all in great condition (especially after rains)

Nice Walk

Encanto 9 was a really nice course and a great value if you like to walk. We have played 6 other 9 hole courses in our 2 weeks here and I liked Encanto the best

Fun

For the price and 9 holes, great course, greens were fast, giving it a 4 because the course was wet.

I love this course

I love playing the Encanto 9. It is the perfect size for my busy schedule and is wonderful on the pocket book as well. Because the cost to play here is so reasonable, I can afford to play more often. Additionally, each time I have been paired up with other players. they all have been really nice guys and fun to play with. It's always a great experience.
